A Dog’s Life With Lia

Lia is amazing! She is great with dogs, but she is also so easy to work with as a person, which is just as important. Her patience and good humor makes every session productive and fun. I rescued a shelter dog and wasn’t really sure how to deal with some of the issues she came with –e.g. pulling on the leash and socializing with other dogs. Lia showed me how to lead my dog with calm confidence, and her rates are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

Lia is AWESOME!!!
I had just moved into her building when one day by chance she saw me with my English Bulldog Lola. This breed of dog is notoriously stubborn and of course my puppy was having a moment in front of all my new neighbors. Lia was totally cool about it and introduced herself and proceeded to show me how I needed to act in order for Lola to see me as her Pack leader. After that she helped me for a larger part of the time that I lived in California, helping me raise a well mannered sweet little bully. Now Lola is totally cool around others walks awesome on leash and is (finally completely) housebroken. I definitely owe it all to Lia. Aside from being an awesome trainer and overall great person she’s SUPER reasonable with her rates and pretty accessible when you need her. I 100% recommend her to anyone experiencing PET WOAHS lol Trust me you’ll be glad you did.

I love Lia!!! Man, oh, man is she a miracle worker! Here’s my story…
I was so excited when I got my two puppies last year, but that excitement quickly turned into frustration when I realized I was much better at raising children than raising dogs. The dogs were out of control! Walking them was impossible. They would pull in every direction, and bark at every person and dog we walked by. I had no control over them and felt lost and frustrated to the point where I dreaded our daily walks. The dogs were also destroying my home. They chewed up everything from an electric cord, curtains, doorways, rugs and even managed to pull the memory card out of my computer (full of unsaved photos of my kids) and eat it up. I was honestly ready to find my puppies a new home.
And then there was Lia…
Have I mentioned I love her?!? She walked into my home and took charge. I was shocked at how intently my dogs listened to her and how well they responded to her. I wanted her to tell me everything that was wrong with my dogs and how I could fix them. Come to find out, my dogs didn’t need fixing. I did. They weren’t the problem. I was. (Story of my life.) Lia taught me how to earn respect from my dogs and then demand it. There isn’t a single problem I’ve brought to Lia that she hasn’t had a solution for. Her techniques work and my dogs love her! They love me now, too. And they listen to me. And I am thrilled to say that I finally enjoy our daily walks and have saved a lot of money not having to replace any more household items. If there is anything you want to change about your relationship with your dog, Lia is definitely the person to call.
