Lou is an amazing dog trainer.

She is very patient and used multiple ways to help our stubborn Husky, Duke. We needed help with muzzle training with Duke so that we can go on the metro with him and have piece of mind when going to the vet. We were very hesitant at first to have him wear a muzzle because of the stigma that comes with it — he must be a bad dog or had a bad encounter because he is wearing one. We wanted to associate that the muzzle is a good thing.

In the beginning of the session, he was getting frustrated and so we changed course and tried a more relaxing laying down method with him. What I love about Lou is she understands that one size does not fit all and every dog is unique. We checked in with her about his progress with the muzzle and she was able to course correct and give feedback. He is so comfortable with the muzzle he even fell asleep on top of me with it on.

Now it’s the fun toy that he gets a ton of treats for wearing! We have also done group walks with Lou and thoroughly enjoyed them. We had 10 dogs together – all different sizes and breeds and by the end of the session they were all friends. They were so calm and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was amazing to see so many dogs getting along on leash and the instruction to the owners was very helpful and insightful. Hope to do more group walks soon!

Highly recommend her!
