Leanne James

Evolution Dog Training has been wonderful to work with and transformed my two puppies. I adopted two 4 month old sisters that were picked up as street dogs in Mexico. They were very reactionary, high strung, and barked at everything/everyone. One of them would even try to hide under cars when we went for walks. I started working with Leanne right after adopting them and it’s made such a difference. From the start I was impressed by Leanne’s patience and understanding while working with the girls. They are more confident and less reactive in public places and love going to the puppy play dates I was so stressed and overwhelmed when I adopted them. Leanne not only helped plan a path forward; but has been instrumental in giving Penny and Pippa the correct exposure, and me the correct tools, to make their training successful.

Leanne has been helping us train Charlie, our Golden, since she was 3 months old. She is now 1 year old. Leanne started us on puppy training , then basic training , then leash skills and now we are starting Rally class. I loved the puppy preschool that Charlie attended at her home. The preschool taught her patience and how to socialize with other pups. In addition to training , she generously shares current and best practices in dog toys, leashes, dog food and dog psychology. Thank you, Leanne, for giving us a great start on training, Charlie. I highly recommend Evolution Dog Training. - December 2025

We are so happy our vet recommended Evolution Dog Training. Leanne is amazing! We participated in the Family Dog Training Program for our goldendoodle puppy Wally starting when he was around 10 weeks old. Leanne was so great not only teaching Wally how to be the best dog he can be, but also teaching our 2 daughters (ages 10 and 7) how to interact with and take care of him. She included the whole family at each of our sessions and was sure to tailor our training to any specific puppy issues we might be facing and goals we wanted to achieve. We also participated in awesome puppy play dates so that Wally could learn how to interact with other dogs and a group leash walking class that we all learned so much from. Our puppy experience has been greatly enhanced by hiring Leanne and participating in the training she provides! We are so thankful for her and her years of experience.
