The Proper Puppy PNW

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Lori through our vet; she has truly been a game changer for us. With the arrival of our Australian Shepherd, we faced the challenge of controlling his herd nipping behavior. Without Lori's guidance, creating a safe and harmonious environment for our children and our dog would have been nearly impossible. Lori's dedication and availability have been exceptional. We completed the 18-day training program, which was nothing short of awesome. For those considering training with Lori, I highly recommend starting with some individual lessons to grasp the communication system fully. Thank you, Lori, for your amazing work and for helping us build a better relationship with our furry family member.

The proper puppy is an absolute life saver. We have a 6 year shepherd who Lori helped train us to train him. She is a dog whisperer truly!!! She will train you to properly train your dog or puppy, which ideally you want to know. Our 6 year old shepherd listens to us now ! And is happy to do so😇. We just got a 6 month old shepherd puppy that she is teaching us how to train her, and what we need to expect from her while training her. She knows dogs body language. Which how cool is that lol 😂 She is just amazing !!! Highly recommend

It's hard to express how satisfied and impressed we are with Lori's program. We chose to board our one year old Golden Retriever with Lori for her 4 week program. The difference in behavior is night and day. I like many people thought I "knew" how to train a dog but boy was I wrong. We have 4 kids and I quickly realized that there wasn't enough time in the day and I didn't have the experience to give our dog the training he deserved. With a new baby on the way, we were at a breaking point with our puppy's behavior. Enter Lori. She completely re-trained our dog from the ground up. Her communication during the boarding and training program were excellent; it felt like we were taking the steps together. She provides daily videos and updates of progress. Our relationship with our dog is much more healthy and positive now. We're able to spend time together constructively. Part of this training is really education of the owners and we're so thankful for that. We're excited about new commands, play and activities that we can teach our dog using her system. The at home follow up visit she provided helped keep us on track enforcing the correct behavior. We feel like we got a great value out of this program and its completely changed the dynamic and relationship we have with our dog.

Exceptional Dog Trainer: A Lifesaver for Both Pups and Owners As a new owner of a Great Pyrenees puppy we knew finding the right trainer was paramount. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Lori Christianson, with The Proper Puppy PNW who turned out to be a game-changer. Her expertise not only transformed my dog's behavior but also fostered a deeper bond between us. We chose to do private lessons at our home. Lori’s personalized approach and comprehensive training plan yielded remarkable results. We now have a 2 year old that knows all the basics, heals beautifully, listens to our commands and comes when she is called. Lori’s patience, knowledge, and genuine passion for dogs made the learning process enjoyable for both my furry friend and me. Thanks to the training we received my once unruly pup has blossomed into a well-mannered companion. I wholeheartedly recommend The Proper Puppy PNW to anyone seeking top-notch training for their canine companion.
