Behind every successful Lancaster training session lies a passionate professional. Erin Marion shares why they chose this path: I have been a Dog Lady for as long as I can remember, but it all came together for me after adopting my first dog, Otis. When he and I first became our own little pack, he had some major anxiety and aggression issues. I knew I needed to learn more about dog training in order to really help him.We began the Karen Pryor clicker training program together, where I was able to help Otis overcome his anxiety and aggression issues. It was with Otis that I realized being a dog trainer and training with positive reinforcement was my true calling. I then raised my Australian Shepherd, Dahlia and multiple foster puppies with those same methods. I have continued to hone my craft throughout the last decade. In 2018, my training expanded to incorporate special needs dogs when I fostered my first deaf and blind puppy. In 2020 I adopted Darla, who was born with limited hearing and almost no ability to see. In 2022 I adopted Clark a completely blind rough coat collie. After multiple disabled foster dogs and now currently having my own blind and deaf dogs I am extremely passionate about helping special needs pets and their guardians connect by using force-free training methods.. All 5 trainers on this Lancaster list are committed to positive reinforcement. Trusted Lancaster trainer, Arie Ebaugh, uses the following methods: My training journey with clients always starts with a full assessment. From there, I develope customized training plans to meet the needs and goals of every Dog-Human team..
