Wonder Dog Training

My 9-month old mini schnauzer was doing great with her commands, but needed support around reactivity. We had previously worked with a different trainer and it wasn't the right method for my pup, so I searched for trainers who specialize in reactivity and I lucked out with Swetlana. Lana showed up to the first session and had such a positive interaction with my pup, she came prepared for handouts to help me in-between sessions and used every minute of our time together to train me and my pup. Lana has a calm and soothing demeanor which was great for my dog and me! She never once made me feel like a failure for having a dog that is reactive, but gave me tools to help calm/relax my pup. She also was available in-between sessions to help answer questions, provide feedback, and support. I went from a dog who couldn't walk by a person or a dog without barking and/or lunging to a dog who looks to me for reassurance and can now pass by without barking. I completely credit Lana for giving me the right tools to help my dog reduce her reactions to stimuli. If you're looking for a trainer focused on positive reinforcement, understanding dog psychology, and a willingness to connect with your dog, look no further! But I'd also say, be willing/able to work with your dog in-between sessions. I know I'll need to keep being consistent, but THANK GOD for Lana, I don't know where we'd be without her.
