Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

I'm positive reinforcement, fear-free training. I have been teaching for 20 years. Starting out with family & friends, then moving to paying clients. I have a back ground in rescue work, where many different dogs benefitted from training. Now my practice is varied, one dog at a time, one puppy at a time to bring structure, boundaries & kind training. I do not use equipment that causes harm, pain, stress or force to the dog.

Dog training services include

  • Reactive dog training
  • In home training
  • Puppy training

More info about Penny Locke's dog training:

In-home training, Day Training, general good manners, potty training, troubleshooting unwanted behavior.

Behavioral issue focus:

Barking, recall, listening skills, adolescence, fearful behavior, adjustment to new homes thru adoption, jumping up, jumping on furniture, walking skills.

Dog training methods:

Dog guardians buy sessions with me. The first is via Zoom, the following are in-person, unless they are outside my in-person range, then we continue with virtual. Customized sessions based on dog's progress. Starting in-person sessions at guardian's home, then as appropriate generalize behaviors to new settings.

Why I became a dog trainer:

My own dog needed help, I needed to find ways to help him. I caught the bug, and haven't looked back.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Meeting guardians who really care about the best life for their dogs.

My #1 dog training tip:

Learn about dogs' body language.
