Lydia's Canine Academy - Dog Training Services - Youngstown, OH
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator, I am passionate about teaching pet parents to #LearnToSpeakDog. With over 17 years of experience in dog obedience training, pet behavior modification, and service dog training, I offer personalized, force-free training methods that help you see the world from your dog's perspective. My approach is grounded in positive reinforcement and rewards-based training skills, ensuring a nurturing environment where trust, understanding, and respect are at the heart of every interaction.
I have had the privilege of serving cats and dogs of all sizes—whether under 20 lbs, between 20-39 lbs, or ranging from 40-79 lbs. My training sessions are tailored to meet the specific needs of you and your furry companions, making them both effective and enjoyable. From back-clip harnesses to clickers, and toys to treats, I utilize a diverse set of tools and strategies to maximize your pet’s potential. Plus, as an insured professional, you can feel confident and secure in the quality of care and expertise I provide.
For your convenience, I offer mobile services and flexible scheduling, understanding that cat-astrophes and unexpected changes can happen. So, whether you’re looking to enhance your dog’s obedience skills or seeking behavior modification, I am here to help you achieve your training goals without fear or coercion. Ready to get started?
