“I’ve done group classes and private training with Liana. I could go on and on about how skilled and effective she is as a trainer/teacher. But what I appreciate the most is her optimism and encouragement. Training a puppy is not for the faint of heart. Many times I was at the end of my rope, and Liana always left me feeling re-energized and confident that my dog and I could succeed at basic training.”

“I recently finished Liana’s puppy training course and was blown away by her patience and expertise. She’s the kind of trainer who not only teaches your dog but also empowers you as a pet owner.
Liana’s ability to break down complex dog behaviors into simple, actionable steps is truly impressive. She always takes the time to answer questions, offer personalized advice, and create a fun and engaging learning environment for both pup and human. My pup has become a much happier, more well-behaved dog thanks to Liana’s guidance. We can’t wait to see what we’ll learn in the next level class! If you’re looking for a dog trainer who truly cares about your furry friend and their well-being, Liana is your go-to!”

“Liana worked wonders on our very anxious herding dog, Bunny. Our walks have improved so much, and Bunny is even letting little kids come up to her for pets now! Liana gave us the tools to help Bunny ourselves with all of the issues we came to her with: pulling on walks, growling at other dogs, fear of children and even walking past playgrounds, and freaking out when animals are on TV. We’re so grateful to Liana for her help!”
UPDATE: “Cosmo and I just finished a four week virtual canine fitness class with Liana and Shannon (K9 Adventure Training), and we had the best time! Cosmo is a senior dog, and learning techniques to keep him healthy and fit for as long as I have him was rewarding and fun for both of us. Liana and Shannon gave clear instructions, and spent time coaching each class participant on how to execute exercises with their particular dog.
I met Liana when she evaluated my dog Cosmo for his Canine Good Citizen certification, and have continued working with her to refine his obedience skills and get him ready for the Urban CGC certification. She’s kind, patient, and very clear in her instructions, and she’s really helped me figure out how to keep Cosmo engaged during our training sessions. Cosmo has struggled in the past with duration and focus in training sessions, but I feel like we’ve already made great progress toward our next goals after just a couple of group classes and a private lesson.”
