Canine Movement Lab

If you're looking for a dog trainer, absolutely look no further. Leah is the BEST. We called everywhere to help us with our shepherd/husky mix, and almost everywhere in the area was very old school in their training methods. Leah actually took the time to sit down and observe and understand our dogs behavior in order to move forward with the correct training methods. She talked with us to help understand the "why" of the behavior and showed us how to work with him in between the training sessions. She answered any and all questions we had before and after the session and checked in afterwards. She truly cares about your animals and the companionship you have with them and I cannot say enough good things about her and her company.

I recently enjoyed working with Leah Lykos as my dog trainer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From our first interaction, Leah's passion for animals and her expertise in dog training was evident. Leah takes a holistic approach to training, focusing on obedience, understanding canine behavior, and building a strong bond between dog and owner. She tailored our training sessions to meet our dog's specific needs, Olivia, who had a few behavioral challenges, including shyness, lack of confidence, and anxiety around new environments. What I appreciated most about Leah was her patience and positive reinforcement methods. She taught me effective techniques that empowered me to communicate better with my dog. These techniques led to immediate improvements in Olivia's behavior, making our training sessions enjoyable rather than a chore. Within just a few sessions, my dog became more confident and responsive to commands. Leah also provided valuable resources and guidance for continuing our training at home, ensuring we could reinforce the lessons learned during our sessions. Her knowledge of dog behavior is impressive; she always took the time to explain why certain behaviors occur and how to address them. Beyond her training skills, Leah is incredibly personable and approachable. She creates an inviting atmosphere where the dogs and their owners feel comfortable. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of each dog she works with. Leah Lykos is an outstanding dog trainer who goes above and beyond for her clients. Whether you have a puppy in need of basic obedience training or an older dog with behavioral issues, Leah is the one to call. Leah, Thank you!

After meeting Leah I knew I wouldn’t have to worry about her watching Koda since I could tell she really understood and cares about dogs. He is 10 and this is the first vacation I’ve had where I haven’t worried about him behaving the entire time which was a nice change. I will definitely be bringing him back to her when we go on another trip. Leah watched our German shepherd for 6 nights while we are out of town this past week. He doesn’t like other dogs, has terrible separation anxiety and fear aggression so it’s hard for us to find somewhere to board him. We did a trial daycare day with Leah to make sure he did ok before I booked the days of my trip. I really appreciated that she wanted to make sure he was comfortable before just having me pay to hold the dates. While we were on our trip I got daily photos of Koda who was having a blast in her doggy pool. When we went to pick him up and he came out of her house he was very calm before noticing us and going wild so I think he really was content with her.
