Embarrassment and Frustration

Can’t enjoy walks with your dog because of leash pulling, reactivity/aggression, and nuisance barking? Change your dog’s behavior from a frustrating struggle to an enjoyable companion.

Annoying or Dangerous Behavior

If the potential risks associated with your dog’s behavior, from guarding resources to chasing and lunging behaviors, has you concerned about how to train your dog effectively, we can help.

Confused About What To Do

If you haven’t gotten the results you were after using other training methods without success has lead to anger and frustration, we can customize a program for you that suits your needs and goals.

A No-Nonsense Approach For You AND Your Dog!

Our No-Nonsense training will work for both you and your dog. We can help relieve your stress and help establish a more natural relationship with your dog. Since every dog is different, we will create a program to suit your dog’s emotional and mental needs.

Gretchen C. writes:

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.

Erin B. writes:

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.

Darren G. writes:

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.

Kyle L. writes:

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.

Jen T. writes:

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!
