Winnabow K9 Board & Train, LLC

My experience with Lora has been nothing but amazing. She has done more than exceeded my expectations. Iris, my GSD, was so horrible with pulling on the leash and jumping. She’s still a puppy but Lora worked with her and corrected those bad habits. Walking Iris now is such a calm and enjoyable time bc I’m not being yanked around. The jumping is down to a complete minimum and I no longer have fear of Iris jumping on me or anyone else. Lora’s patience and great attitude towards any task or any question I had was delivered with the up most respect. She has done an amazing job, definitely appreciate everything she’s done for us. I would definitely recommend her.

Title: Exceptional Dog Training Experience! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars) I can't say enough good things about my experience with Winnabow K9 Board & Train. From start to finish, it was absolutely exceptional. First and foremost, Lora is an absolute professional. She clearly has a deep understanding of canine behavior and psychology. She tailored a training program to fit my dog's unique needs, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. My pup is now a well-behaved, obedient companion.

Lora took the time to educate me on training techniques and provided me with resources to continue the training at home. Lora maintains a positive and encouraging atmosphere, which is crucial for successful training. The progress my dog has made in just a few weeks is astonishing, and I owe it all to the amazing Lora at Winnabow. If you're in need of dog training services, don't hesitate to reach out to them.

This place is a true gem in the world of dog training. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the best decision we have made since getting our English Bulldog 1yr ago. We have had Clyde since he was 8 weeks old. He was fine growing up with our other male dog thats 8yrs old, Revan. Started having issues with aggression about 6mths ago, Clyde also needed to learn some manners. He's VERY hard headed. Tried things ourself that didnt work & after 3 trips to the ER with Clyde bc of dog fights we decided a trainer would be the best option. I had called all the trainers in Jacksonville, New Bern & even Wilmington. The best bang for our buck was board & train. I gave the same story to everyone. LORA was the only 1 that offered to take Revan halfway through Clyde's training to work with them together. I loved that. Not only did Clyde need some manners but he needed to learn to behave better with our other dog too. Lora picks up & drops off your pet too. When it was time for her to have my other dog I did drive to her & stayed in town for a couple hrs. Just bc Revan is older & has anxiety problems. She allowed Revan to warm up to her on his own time upon dropping him off. Then once I left she kept me updated with how he was acting & even sent pictures. I felt better that he was comfortable with her. She kept Revan for 1 week. Through the 4 weeks she had Clyde she would send pics & updates, answered any questions I had too. You can tell she really loves her job & animals. I've never had anyone else take care of my dogs other than my parents & BFF. So, having someone else I didnt know take care of them was stressful for me too. However, Lora understood & was more than willing to do whatever made me feel more comfortable. She's an amazing person & If you have any doubts forget about it. She's wonderful & does a great job. We have had Clyde back for a little over 1 week. He's definitely a changed dog. Well mannered & alot calmer. Even my in-laws were impressed with how good he is now. We are slowly introducing our 2 dogs together using Lora's tips. Things are going great so far. I have great hopes that our 2 dogs will be able to get along for good & Clyde will stay a gentleman doggy.

Lora is FIVE Star! We adopted our boy Pip from our local shelter and instantly fell in love with him. We noticed pretty quickly that he had some challenges and made the choice to call in an Expert to help Pip with his extreme reactivity. Lora talked us through her plan, and made us feel that Pip would not only be safe with her, she explained in detail how her program works and how her training would rebuild Pips confidence. Pip is now a happy, healthy, boy and navigating the world with much more confidence and joy in his step! We couldn't be more grateful 🙏.

Our two dogs, Winter and Micah, just completed the three week board and train course with Lora. Both of them had anxiety and separation issues, with Winter being really shy. Micah is our clown! Lora worked miracles with the two of them!! She reinforced commands that they knew from past experience but she took them out in public, did exercises for Winter's confidence, and improved Micah' anxiety to a large degree. Lora is extremely effective with her training and obviously knows dogs! Since our two pups are back home, they are so different. Of course, the onus is now on us to continue working with them but they seem much more willing to respond to commands than they were from other training routines. We are very happy with Lora and her training. It was well worth the cost and we now have two really great dogs that behave. As far as we are concerned, Lora is a "dog whisperer"!!
