Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

Lea has always had love and a natural talent with dogs growing up. She began working with dogs in 2006 as a dog handler and began observing and assisting with training dogs & classes in 2009. In 2013 she attained a certificate in training and behavior from the Dog Training Internship Academy created by Janis Bradley. A 6-month course that focused on positive reinforcement dog training, dog behavior and professional client consultation. She also has her CPDT-KA Certification from the The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Lea is also AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluator, a member of the Pet Professional Guild (PPG) and teaches classes through Sirius Puppy & Dog Training founded by Ian Dunbar. Lea's passion for dog training can be seen through her work. She loves teaching students how to speak dog and how to better connect with their canine companions. When not hiking with dogs, doing training sessions with clients or with her personal dogs, she is continuing her dog education through continuous hands on experience, seminars, conferences, webinars and books. Lea shares her life with an awesome husband and her canine companion, Gambit the Belgian Malinois.

Seeing the success! Making owners feel like it's not the end of the world!

My #1 dog training tip:

Consistency and clarity make all the difference in communication with your dog.
