Leticia has watched my dog a few times now and she's absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond - getting her pup cups at Starbucks, baking homemade dog treats, and taking her on trail adventures. She's very responsive and keeps me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

Leticia made time for me on a weekend when she doesn’t normally work because she could hear the panic in my voice about an anxious rescue pup that I had just adopted. After only one session, both the pup and I are feeling more confident. Leti is patient and reassuring, using positive conditioning to build confidence. I look forward to continuing to work with her.

We've done both private training and in-home pet sitting with Leticia, and she is the absolute best. Positive reinforcement is the way to go, and she knows all the tips and tricks to it. We learn so much from every session. With in-home sitting, she sends lots of updates with cute photos and videos. You can tell she truly cares. Both our dog and cat absolutely adore her, and we feel at ease when we're away knowing they're in such good hands!!

Leticia is great! We did a session with her to help with our new puppy, Bonny, who was having some confidence issues and fear periods. We were having trouble getting Bonny to go on walks because she was afraid of loud trucks and mopeds. Leticia showed us a bunch of things we can do with Bonny to help build her confidence and keep her focused. Since then we've had a much happier pup! We will def work with Leticia again!

We had our first session with Leticia and will definitely be booking again. We are excited to practice training our almost 2 year old Sheepadoodle with the tools she gave us. We love that Leticia uses positive training techniques. She took the time to explain and demonstrate how to respond and interact with our pup based on his behaviors. We left the session feeling more confident in how to approach training for our dogs leash pulling and reacting towards other dogs.

Leticia really helped my rescue dog come out of her shell and adjust to city life. Both I myself and my pup learned a lot and benefited from the training. We truly appreciate the time and effort!!

Our Lab mix had a tendency to pull and swerve on walks. After one session with Leticia, my dog and I learned how to communicate through positive reinforcement. Our walks are now much more enjoyable for both of us. Leticia is a really skilled teacher of human-canine communications!

My dog and I worked with Leticia a few times over the last two years. She helped us make a breakthrough in his separation anxiety and I finally got my life back once I felt confident I could leave the house without him getting destructive. We tried working with another trainer for this before without much progress, but Leticia made the difference for us by understanding and tailoring training to my dog and our lifestyle.

Every time Leticia comes I really feel like we make a lot of progress in just one hour and like I’m empowered to keep up the training.

If you’re working through anything with your dog, I highly recommend her!

‘A Fulfilled Dog is a Happy Dog’

Obedience training is the bridge use to establish communication with dogs.
It makes them feel confident, proud, it satisfies the dog in many levels.

In a short period of time I will like to show you how to improve your dogs behavior, understending the dogs view of the world.  Positive reinforcement is more than just treats, it’s encouragement, game, fun, giving feedback to your dog.

It’s important to have a well behaved dog in the city, things are loud and move all the time, creating confidence and guiding your dog to appropiate behavior, then repeat until it comes natural to stay calm in different chaotic situations.
