K9 Master Dog Training

Lena is an exceptional dog trainer who brings experience, confidence, and genuine empathy to every dog and owner she works with. She pours her heart and soul into each dog that comes through her program. Her detail orientation and hypervigilance with each dog is notable and rare. What sets Lena apart is that her impact extends far beyond dog training. Through working with her, I’ve learned how to be more intentional in my communication, systems, and daily routines bringing greater clarity, confidence, and peace into my life. The lessons I’ve gained from Lena have been invaluable and far exceed the cost of training alone. Lena has become a trusted source of guidance and support, and I truly can’t put into words how grateful I am for everything she’s done for my life.

Lena is amazing! From my first call with her I knew we were in good hands and I would highly recommend her. We did a 2-week board and train for our 3-4 month old puppy since we had to travel soon after adopting and wanted structured care and continued training while we were gone. Lena was able to teach him place bed, down stay, loose leash walking, and even worked on house manners and socialization. I really liked that Lena was so loving toward our pup while also having a confident presence and getting his respect. She gave us lots of helpful tips and has been available afterward to answer questions. I am so glad to have her as a resource, and we will be sending our pup back to her for boarding!

Lena is brilliant with dogs as a trainer. Dogs LOVE her! But more importantly, she is extremely professional and generous with her time when it comes to training YOU, the dog owner, too! She helped my 2-yr old rescue beagle-terrier and I work on his major separation anxiety with crate training, leash walking, and more. What sets Lena apart from other trainers is that after the board-and-train period and the comprehensive lesson with me, she then scheduled multiple follow-up calls, was available for all my one-off questions, and provided comprehensive written guidance. She always has time for my questions. Based on the great experience my dog and I had with Lena, months later I also used her for long-term boarding (30 days) when I had to travel out of state. I had complete trust and peace of mind that my dog would be happy and loved in her care. I highly recommend Lena and I look forward to using her services many times in the future. Which makes my pup very happy! :)

Lena is the most amazing dog trainer and worthy of every praise! We have worked with her to train three different dogs we rescued over the years and her knowledge and effectiveness never ceases to amaze. She is a very experienced professional trainer who is compassionate, fun, energetic, and patient with dogs (and people alike) and she understands their positive and negative behavioral motivations. Lena spends time listening to the circumstances to investigate what causes certain behaviors and comes up with both short term and long term plans to help. She has successfully helped us through issues such as aggressive behaviors, separation anxiety, possessiveness, recall training, introducing a new dog to a household with an existing dog, leash pulling, jumping, dietary changes, crate training and even basic commands. I trust my dog's life with Lena and have witnessed first hand her effective training techniques in teaching dogs and their caretakers how to set up the dogs for success in this challenging world. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and have learned so much from her.
