We are committed to your success

Linda has always been able to create customized training programs designed around each dog’s differences and needs. Her goal is to help owners learn how to successfully read and respond to their dog’s behavior, which results in a relationship built on trust and understanding. Stop feeling anxious over your dog’s behavior and feel the freedom of having a well-trained companion you are proud of.

Let's start with 50 years of experience

My specialty is my desire to help owners create happy, willing companions that are a pleasure to own.  Using proven concepts to change their dogs’ behavior humanely and permanently, I enable owners to really enjoy their dogs, including them in activities other people can only dream about, easily, and without conflict!

I am constantly seeking to improve my training skills by attending seminars offered by highly regarded personalities in a variety of challenging disciplines to stay current with the successful training strategies of others and expand my knowledge. I continue to explore new developments in animal behavior and constantly seek opportunities to learn more about dogs, their behavior, and how best to teach them.

I am an endorsed member of the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors, the oldest organization of its kind in the world. Membership in this organization isn’t assured, as each applicant is examined through a rigorous process that truly measures one’s competence with training dogs, and their ability to instruct others effectively.

Undesirable Behavior?

Are you discouraged by your dog’s undesirable behaviors? Are they interfering with your quality of life? I can help you learn what triggers that behavior and how to respond to it without conflict. Whether your dog is guarding its food bowl or menacing the mailman, I can design a program around your specific goals.

Frustration or Anger?

Living with a dog should be a pleasant experience and not a troublesome chore. If you are constantly being irritated by your dog’s annoying barking, lunging, whining, or jumping; my practical, no BS approach will transform your dog’s behavior.

Not Knowing Where To Start?

Having failed to get the results you were after using other trainers without success can lead to anger and frustration. When you are ready for results that work for both you and your dog, I can help. If you are looking for practical puppy training, or taming that teenage hellion, I have solutions that work. 

Custom training solutions designed for your dog and your goals

Since every dog is different, we can create programs to suit your dog’s emotional and mental needs. A scared dog is going to train much differently than a bold, confident dog of any age or breed. Knowing the individual breed differences and behaviors that are influenced by age and early influences sets Lionheart K9’s programs apart from other trainers, based on over 40 years of experience, practice and study.

I am so grateful to Linda and Lionheart K9 for the work she/they did with my Australian Shepherd, Koda. They took my head strong and anxious 3 year old herding dog and gave him the language and tools he needed to exist and function happily in our family and home.

I have been taking lessons and group classes with Linda now for about a year. I came to her with a specific goal in mind, which was to be able to show my dog in beginner novice obedience. We have far exceeded my goals and aspirations for my dog thanks to her. My dog and I are thankful for her tremendous amount of knowledge and her guidance both in and out of the show ring.

Finding Lionheart K9 has been a key factor in getting to the next level. Linda’s decades of knowledge have been extremely valuable, over and over again. When I have an oddball situation – Lionheart is my go to resource. Linda has been there, done that, several times. She knows her stuff and is very good at teaching others. Can’t thank or recommend Lionheart enough.

Over the course of the training, Lady’s behavior and overall demeanor have improved markedly- calmer, more responsive, and probably happier as well. Lionheart K9’s teaching allowed us to build a new relationship with Lady after a difficult start. Linda’s keen intuition about and understanding of dogs brings the training method to life, and I highly recommend Lionheart K9 to anyone serious about understanding and training their dog.

I have had a really great experience training my dog with Linda. Her knowledge on dog behavior is beyond anyone I have ever met and her ability to translate what your dog needs from you is incredible. Thank you for showing us what can be accomplished!
