Dog Willing, Elycia & Lina are absolutely OUTSTANDING! We recently rescued a male shiba inu, Nemo, and knew we had to get him into training and knew Lina and her team were the ones to do it. They helped us train our first shiba Coco and it made a world of difference with her. Elycia loves what she does and it shows in the way she interacts with the pets and their owners. They're an equal partner with you and want you and your pet to be successful and so positive every step of the way. They go at your pace and if you need extra instruction, they're there to help and offer additional advice if you need it. I highly recommend Lina and her Dog Willing team for training, socialization and truly any type of needs for your pets.

As a senior citizen with many years of loving and training my fur babies, I can honestly say that dogsmith is the most compassionate, most effective training method I have ever experienced. These classes along with the exceptional trainers are the best...hands down!

Elycia is the most amazing trainer we’ve ever been too! When we first got Thor he was very timid and had a lot of anxiety. It’s been about a year since we started taking him to Elycia (we’ve had him for 2) and he is so much more calm and confident! He still has some work, but I’m very proud of the progress he’s made with Elycia’s help! Going to training is also one of Thor’s favorite things

The trainers here care about their students and their "paw-rents." Puppy and teen class already showing in results in our dog. We have interacted with trainer Elycia and owner Lina and couldn't say more about how great they are.

Lina has been amazing with our dog Dusty. This company is incredibly reliable and gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog will be well walked every day. She goes the extra mile to train him to walk well on his leash and it's showing when we walk him ourselves! He's not tugging anymore and so much better with distractions! They're our go to for all our doggie needs and advise!

I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with Dog Willing all day. The staff are competent, well trained professionals who know how to work with and train dogs. Our pooch comes home happy and exhausted from romping and playing all day. They also provide a daily "report card" so that we know how our dog behaved and interacted that day. I highly recommend the Doggie Daycare, the Doggie Social time, and their training classes.

Lina and her team are the best around. Their trainings are better than anything that I have experienced and the day care is unlike anything else out there. Trust me I did the research. I would recommend them to anyone who cares about the quality of their pets education.

Dog Willing has been an amazing experience for both me and my dog! We originally struggled to find classes for my leash reactive dogs. Many places wanted to use pronged collars or other negative reinforcers. With a dog that's already terrified of everything I knew that wasn't the right solution for her. Dog Willing offers completely positive training and it works wonders! Before we started attending training classes my dog was completely fearful of strangers and other dogs. We couldn't go on walks without her having a complete melt-down. Now a few months later we are about to pass our canine good citizen class and walking is much much easier. The Dog Willing team gives you the tools and the tricks you and your dog need. They don't teach your dog how to be better, they teach you how to be a better dog owner. Their classes and one-on-one training are very focused around each individual dog. Even in a class with 8 other dogs they've taken the time to work with me individually and show me special tips and tricks for my leash reactive dog. I cannot recommend their team enough!

I work with Leah on the Pet Professional Guild Steering Committee and am so impressed with her knowledge of dog training and behavior, as well as her passionate commitment to treat dogs humanely as we train. I am honored to be a colleague of hers and though we are far apart geographically, I have no hesitation recommending her services to anyone who wants to train effectively but with kind, gentle methods.

Leah is an excellent, positive, force-free dog trainer. She has helped me with all three of my pups and they (and I) love her dearly. My favorite thing about her classes is she just doesn't tell you to do something, she tells you WHY it is important to do it that way and how the pup interprets it. She teaches you how to read your dog's body language so you and your dog have the best communication possible. I recommend Leah's classes to everyone who has a new puppy or an older dog that needs training. The classes are lots of fun too!
