Some of the questions we get from our Eldersburg Maryland dog training clients:
Do you train dogs in Eldersburg, Maryland?
Yes. Linda provides private in-home dog training sessions in Eldersburg and throughout Carroll County. Sessions are scheduled at your home, on your schedule, so training happens in the environment where it matters most.
What happens during a private training session?
Linda works directly with you and your dog in your home. You’ll learn how to read your dog’s behavior, respond effectively, and practice the specific skills your dog needs. You leave each session with clear instructions and support materials to continue between lessons.
My dog is reactive on leash — can you help?
Yes. Leash reactivity toward other dogs or people is one of the most common issues Linda addresses. Private training builds the foundational obedience your dog needs first, and sessions can progress to public locations as your dog advances.
Do you work with puppies in Eldersburg?
Absolutely. Our Right Start™ Puppy Training program is ideal for Eldersburg families with a new puppy. Early training prevents the habits that are far harder to undo later.
What if I travel or can't always do in-person sessions?
Virtual dog training is available for any client, anywhere. It’s the same one-on-one coaching Linda provides in person, delivered via video on a schedule that fits your life.

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!
