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.

I miss Lola here in NW Arkansas! She was so wonderful with Lexie Oakley, my Creme Golden Retriever!
Lola is a fantastic dog trainer who cares about her clients and their dogs. She worked with my dog and I one-on-one to address behavior issues he previously had developed as a rescue dog. I appreciate all the information she imparts in person, through videos, and through social media. It has helped me tremendously and I feel a lot more confidence in handling my dog.

Lola (Zen Dog Training) has been such an effective, inspiring and encouraging partner in our rescue efforts at Phenom-A-Dog. No matter what temperament/behavior a dog is exhibiting, Lola manages to quickly and correctly evaluate the dog and prescribe a customized workable plan for the dog and the client. Money spent with Zen is never money wasted. I find that I always leave Lola with a better-behaved dog and having improved my abilities as a rescuer/trainer.
Lola is an amazing trainer. She has helped me learn the tools I need to raise my 5 month old shepherd puppy to be a successful dog. I can't wait to see how all her training goes.
