Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.
What payment plans do you offer for someone interested in service dog training?
For service dog training, you can start with a $1,500 deposit to kick off the process under a service dog contract. Flexible payment plans are available to help spread out the cost, so it's easier to manage. You’ll need to settle the full payment before the certification is given, but you can discuss customized options if your dog requires some extra hands-on training time. This approach aims to make the investment more manageable while ensuring your dog gets the best training possible.
Yes we do. We have a great service dog program if you’re looking for full blown service dog training. We also have an ESA program if you’re just looking for a well behaved companion to assist you in your home.

We are so happy with Lola and Zen Dog Training. We’ve been uncomfortable with our e-collar ever since we got it - the advice we received, even the instructions that come with it, established what seemed like an almost adversarial relationship with us and our dog, and it wasn’t working. Lola’s approach is nothing radical, but she makes it makes sense. We’re all on the same team now! The difference was instant, and things have only improved from there. Lola is knowledgable and skilled - not just at training dogs, but also training their humans. Our boy has also made great strides in his skills and manners, and his goofy, energetic personality continues to shine. You need to do the work, but Lola will guide you expertly and she’s great at answering your questions and addressing any issues that arise.

Our dog Franklin completed the board and train program with Lola and it has been a night and day difference. Before training Franklin would bark nonstop and would teethe on our hands relentlessly when trying to pet him. Now he sits politely on his bed, doesn’t really bark, and lets us pet him without issue. Lola is a great trainer and I would highly recommend her to anybody who is looking for correction of their dog’s behavior. We are very grateful!

Lola has been absolutely amazing working with our reactive dog! We brought in our two dogs who had started fighting & she did everything in her power to help us control them. Since then our puppy is listening like there’s no tomorrow & working on being able to co-exist with our other dog. Our puppy is a completely different dog than who she was 4 months ago & we couldn’t do it without Lola! We can take her out in public without her barking & growling at other people. She’s so calm & collected now! We can’t thank her enough!!

Coco and I are currently in our training experience. Lola is exceptional at watching a dog and knowing just what is needed. When looking for a trainer I wanted to be trained right along with Coco and I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience. Each week we make great progress due to the coaching we receive from Lola.
I highly recommend Zen Dog Training for any type of training that you and your dog may need.
