FirstBarkI have a reactive dog that has been to 2 trainers before Lola at Zen. From the very first meeting she was trying different ways to help him. 4 sessions of training and it’s a game changer. I don’t have to avoid seeing other dogs anymore, he’s a different dog to walk. After thousands of dollars in training, finally we have real progress. Thanks Lola!!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

Highly recommend Lola and Zen Dog Training! She has been an incredible resource and is willing to truly go above and beyond to give us all the resources we need. I'm so thankful we found Zen Dog Training. We've already seen great results for our puppy!

Lola has been amazing with our Giant Schnauzer Roy! I saw an immediate improvement within one week of working with her. She’s very patient and provided all the necessary tools for our pup to be a better companion! I first described Roy as a maniac but now he’s calmer and is following commands. I’m not afraid to take him out in public. She has boosted my confidence as a pet owner and taught me how to handle my giant.
My dog loves her
Lola did such amazing work with our dog Piper. Piper is a black lab and had so much energy that she didn’t know what to do with prior to her board and train session with Lola. After we got her back, Piper was so incredibly well behaved. I can actually have her in the same room with me when I work from home now. Thank you so much Zen dog training!
