Canine Movement Lab

We are so grateful for Leah Lykos! Our rescue dog came to us with some reactivity concerns and working with Leah has made such a difference. The lessons are fun and interactive, and she always makes sure we feel supported with follow-up emails, texts, and new video materials to practice. Leah is so knowledgeable and easy to communicate with, and we’ve learned so much along the way. It feels great to see our dog making progress and to feel more confident as owners too. Highly recommend!

We took our rescue dog to Leah for an initial evaluation, and it was hands-down one of the most helpful experiences we’ve had since bringing him home. Leah is not your average dog trainer - she has a deep understanding of dog psychology and nervous system regulation, and she approaches training with a level of insight and nuance that goes far beyond simple reward or punishment tactics. She spent time getting to know our dog, really observing his behavior and needs, and then gave us so much clarity around where to begin with his training. It was clear she truly sees each dog as an individual and tailors her approach to support their emotional and behavioral development. After the session, Leah followed up with a detailed email that included a personalized daily training plan, helpful activities, and a list of supplemental resources to support us moving forward. We left feeling much more confident - not just in our dog’s potential, but in our relationship with him and what’s possible. If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in helping you and your dog succeed, Leah is it. Highly recommend!

Leah’s Podcasts: “The Somatic Hound” are priceless, cutting edge, interviews with prominent experts on the mutuality of dog and owner. With over 20 years experience, Leah Lykos offers a unique approach to dog training and healing trauma for both dog and owner. Her expansive knowledge is a gift to anyone who ventures into her work. I highly recommend exploring her services and podcasts enthusiastically!!

Leah with Canine Movement Lab is organized, insightful, and clearly focused on helping one provide directed training for their puppy or dog based on canine drives and motivations. I am so happy to have found a dog trainer who I trust 100%. She has helped me with older dogs and also a very energetic foster puppy. She provides feedback, follow up videos, and is available for help or questions at any time.
