Sophia is awesome! She has done wonders with our pups so far, and is truly a dog whisperer. We have two Shihpoos (now 1 year old and 2 years old), with Lots of energy. After only 3 visits with Sophia, they know “wait”, “lay”, “off” (off the furniture), and they come to us when we call them. She uses positive reinforcement to train, and it works like a charm. She gives us things to practice between sessions because consistency is key! And our pups adore her:) Highly recommend.
I am a balanced Dog trainer. I have been working with Dogs my entire life. I have been training professionally for about 11 years. My skills include Obedience Off leash training Agility Retriever Search and rescue Drug detection Bomb detection Service animals And much more

My husky is a sweet dog but stuborn. Derek came to my home and now Buddy is much easier to live with. He goes to his spot when I am cooking or eating. Now I don't worry about tripping on him which could hurt either of us. It is also much easier for me to go for walks with him. We have a few more classes but I'm am very happy with the progress.

Hi Thank you for caring enough about your 4 legged family member to get him or her some help and increase your bond ! I became a dog trainer after adopting 2 malnourished dogs from a shelter. They were fearful of both other dogs and people. I was determined to “fix” them! What I discovered was that sometimes one needs more then determination. I began reading all I could and became a certified and insured positive reinforcement trainer.

We are in love with our rescue named Diesel who is an English Bulldog! Luciana worked with him training his in so many areas! He’s house broken, crate trained, walks perfect on the leash, wonderful with our kids, does not jump on furniture or people and knows to go to his ‘place’ when we eat at the dinner table! Luciana also watched him for us when we were on vacation and sent updates and pics showing us he was doing well! He needed to go to the vet suddenly and she took him for us and also sent a detailed report with updates on his visit. She’s amazing and loves what she does and it shows! Very experienced and easy to work with! She’s continued to answer questions throughout the entire adoption and training process! She made sure our kids were comfortable with the dog and that we all knew how to continue with all he has learned. We highly recommend her! Outstanding and positive experience all around! Very professional!

Finding Steve has been a blessing! We rescued a 5 1/2 month old puppy and saying the first couple of weeks was chaos would be an understatement. After the first lesson we could see a change. We were having a few other issues in between lessons and I was able to text him some questions and send him videos of the issues and he responded immediately. He gave me a suggestion with the nipping and biting we hadn’t tried yet and BINGO it worked!!! I now have a puppy that listens to me. He loves when Steve comes and is always ready to work and learn. Steve makes the training fun for the dog and the owners lol! He involves my whole family so the training can be consistent. We are enjoying our dog so much more now because he knows what is allowed and what is not. Steve has made our first dog experience as a family stress free and so rewarding❤️

Ricky Jones with Divine Canine Solutions wow! His training is like no other trainer around here!! As someone who loves dogs and trained my own, he took me to a whole new level of dog training!! Not only of understanding, but he helps you build a stronger bond. What I mean by that is maybe you're close with your dog but there's a lack of communication, which is why they bark, misbehave, not listen, because there's a misunderstanding, but Ricky is our translator! When Ricky meets a dog for the first time, the dog is trained. Seriously!! So you can imagine after the 4th or 5th lesson what your dog can do! Ricky speaks the same language, and what he does is give you the right tools to help grow your relationship so you can train your dog better! Dont believe me, give him a call and see the amazing things he can help you and your dog succeed with!! Also check him out on facebook! Divine Canine Solutions, he gives everyday training, now it's up to you!! What are you going to do

Ashley has been amazing! Growing up with dogs I thought I knew so much from watching my dad's method of training. Through her I've learned just how much I was wrong about. With her training we are not also working towards bettering our dogs, but I am also being pushed to make many important changes within myself that I have been unable to face for so long.
My family and I are grateful for the inspiration and knowledge she has provided us. I could never imagine finding a better trainer who is not only knowledgeable but understanding. Thank you so much Ashley!

Southport Vet Center/Dr. Hart has given excellent medical care to our pets over the years - our two older dogs who had complicated medical issues, our cats and now our new puppy, who needs and gets lots of behavior and training tips as well as medical care from Southport Vet. The team there is very experienced and dedicated - they clearly love animals and want to help us take good care of our pets.

To me, being a trainer means helping dogs grow, not forcing a dog to do something! As a former chef, I have taken many tools of the trade with me. One thing I will never forget is that the customer is always right. I remember when I was learning how to train dogs and I would notice how they wouldn’t be interested anymore, or they would be getting tired. My mantra is always to watch and listen to the behaviors of each individiual animal. Big or small, they all matter; I am here to help, I am trained to help, and I can help!
I love when I get to see a family successfully ask their dog to do something for the very first time. Their eyes light up and you can also see how excited the pup gets for making them so happy! Its a beautiful moment.
I wanted to be able to help any dog that I felt needed help, not only the dogs that were brought into facilities. Being able to create my own hours gives me the chance to help more animals.

When you think about a dog trainer, you all come onto this site with an idea of what you are looking for.
If you are reading and you have come here wanting a trainer who will scold your dog for jumping on the couch; peeing on the carpet; or crying in the crate; you are definitely not looking for a trainer like me.
If you have are reading this and you want to learn to train your pup in ways that both of you will enjoy; making sure your dog does not experience any feelings of anxiety or stress; and you bond with your pet during these sessions? I am happy to help you!
Every family is different, and every dog is different. For example: If you dont want your dog on the couchs and beds, I will help teach you how to train them to stay off of them. But if you want to snuggle them on your cozy surfaces; I am all for that; as my dog is a couch dog too!!!
*If you do not do the work I teach you, the dog will not become trained. *
I will supply you the materials you need on the very first day as well as supply you with the information that it will take for you to train your pup on your own!
If you have a brand new puppy, I will sit down with you and explain to you everything that goes on, what to expect and how to take care of them; from food; to potty training; to teething; to vet care. With rescues, and dogs who develop anxiety or emotional difficulties; I will spend hours in a quiet room silent playing different treat games with your dog. I will do whatever is needed to help your animal.
I pride myself on my patience, persistance, and my love of all of your animals as if they were my own.
I am happy to use zoom with clients! I send them everything they need in the mail before we begin so that they do not have to worry about anything!
I have been vaccinated and have had my booster. If their are young children in the house I am very careful to keep myself sanitized and keep my mask on.
