Lori is great with our puppy. Love that she sends us videos of our puppy being trained along with helpful teaching methods for us to practice with our puppy at home.

We have used "Pawsitive K9 Solutions (Animal Magnetism)" for dog walking services while we were out of town or had work conflicts and we were very happy with the level of care and attention our dog received. They were reliable and professional and we will definitely use them again when the need arises. More...

Carolina
Proud senior rescue mom over here & I'm so happy that Nelson (my doggo) has been working with Lori & Heather. It's been mostly dog walks & sitting, but I can already tell that his discipline has improved from their training whenever in his care. I 100% know that he's become more social with dogs since working with them and that honestly means the world to me! More...

The best part of the service is Lori. She doesn't just help teach your dog, she helps to teach you how to become the best dog owner you could possibly want. Any questions or worries she is there for. Between her videos and lessons she helps put our puppy on the right path... oh and she brings great snacks for the dog More...

Lori provided incredible training and care for our puppy during his boarding & training sessions. She was always thoughtful and patient with listening to my questions, and very thorough in explaining the best approach for each issue.
Great value and experience overall working with Pawsitive K9 solutions, and would highly recommend to all dog owners.
Lori was also very easy to communicate with via phone or email before, during, and after our training.

Lori is the best dog trainer I’ve ever encountered bar none !!Our puppy Baloo has come so far with her and her team in such a short amount of time. She and her staff are kind and supportive and is just the best experience I could ever imagine having ! She works with my 11 year old son and our puppy and is so patient and makes it fun for both of them. Can’t say enough amazing things about Lori ! Blessed we have found her ! More...

Our family has worked with Lori for a number of years and most recently she has been training our American Akita puppy. Our puppy has been the most well behaved puppy out of all of the dogs we have ever had. Cannot recommend Lori enough, her and her staff are all wonderful! More...

Lori is wonderful with dogs, especially training young puppies. Lori gives excellent training advice to first-time pet owners and is a trusted professional when it comes to pet caretaking and training.

Simone
Lori has been a life changer. Her expertise and insight during our private training session has resulted in huge progress for my 3 month old bernedoodle.
She stays available to give advice and it has really helped. I know there are a lot of trainers out there, especially in the LA area, but I can tell she really cares about the dogs she trains and is a proud dog owner herself. So she understands. I highly recommend her and her company.

Tara
Lori and team’s knowledge, love and compassion for our Fur Family members is wonderful. My now one year old puppy, came from a rescue situation at age four months and had a bully appearance.
We had a negative experience with another trainer using choke collars etc.. that was not positive. It took a few tries to finally find the right trainer for my fur baby.
My guy has flourished under Lori’s training and school and is happy, well-adjusted, confident and a social butterfly. He LOVES Lori and team. I highly, highly, recommend Lori and Pawsitive K9 Solutions. I have recommend her to others, and I trust her insight regarding everything dog!!!

Amanda
There is not enough space for me to write all the reasons why Lori and her team at Pawsitive K9 Solutions are amazing. Lori's team is so kind, helpful, attentive and organized. They did a wonderful job training our puppy, and in fact, it's entirely possible our girl Willow enjoys her time with Lori and her team more than with us! We could not recommend her business more highly and will continue telling anyone with a new puppy about the best training team around :). More...

Melissa Milo
I highly recommend Lori for one-on one training sessions! I was training my 7 month old French Bulldog puppy at home until I finally admitted to myself that I needed help. That’s when I reached out to Lori about command training, jumping, separation anxiety, and recall. Lori is a great listener. She took extensive notes, helped me set realistic goals, and demonstrated useful techniques to improve these behavioral issues. My puppy loves Lori, and looks forward to her training sessions. Lori is always available to answer questions, and emails helpful videos and information for continued success. More...

Thanks Sheila!
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting new dogs and learning what their owners needs are and how I can bring my knowledge and expertise to help them have a more fulfilling relationship with their beloved pet. I love watching the transformation and connection of a new dog or puppy with their family. I assist them with communication so that they can connect and live together in harmony.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After working with animals pretty much my whole life, I knew that working with them was my future. Successfully founding and co-managing a dog walking services business, I saw a missing link that was needed for training. My passion is working with owners and their dogs to transform their dogs into well behaved, loving pets.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a certified dog trainer with over 22 years of experience of working closely with dogs and their owners. In the past, I co-founded Animal Magnetism Pet Professionals which has been firmly established in the industry for over two decades.
In addition to my hands-on experience in professional dog training and other services, I am a member of Pet Sitters International and a Certified Pet First Aid and CPR provider. I am also a Karen Pryor Puppy Start Right Instructor and an Animal Behavior College graduate. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the California State University at Dominquez Hills.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide services in person, Zoom and also have an online school with videos and materials.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We're very careful with handling surfaces that are frequently touched, cleaning between clients/dogs as well as masking up.
