Leone was so professional and gave us so much advice and strategies to cope with our crazy pup! She was very understanding and professional about our situation. Can confirm all the information and tips she’s shared with us has helped immensely and he is such a happier and more well behaved pup now. Thank you so much

I would like to thank Leone for her wonderfully considered assistance with a reactive dog. Leone is a wealth of information on how to have the best of lives with our dogs.

Leone explains really well how dogs learn, which definitely helps with that early training. We also had Leone come to our home for a private consult, which was fantastic, as it allowed us to focus on a couple of issues and get a really in-depth understanding of how to move forward with training our puppy.

Leone was our local trainer when we fostered a pup for K9MD. She trained us—mostly!—with kindness, focus and obvious experience and expertise. Leone gave concise, workable and successful solutions to challenges when they came up.

Leone is a mine of information when it comes to training and stimulating a dog’s brain. Molly and I both enjoyed the scent activities, which gave her a much-needed outlet for her natural exuberance. Leone also helped us solve problems when walking Molly and meeting other dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for solutions or ideas for engaging with their dog. She’s the best.
