Hi, I'm Lorraine.
I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a graduate of the prestigious Victoria Stilwell Academy. As the owner of Love Up Pup, LLC, I offer individualized support to families who want to enhance their lives with their pups using positive reinforcement training. I am also an instructor of puppy and family dog classes at a prominent Humane Society.
I hold a Master's Degree in Social Welfare from UCLA, a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from UCI, and have coached humans professionally in higher education and health and human services at a national level.
I’m also a Master of Kung Fu San Soo and an expert in communicating kindly and clearly through body language — the language our dogs understand best.
As an avid lover of dogs (and people), I feel that all of these experiences blend together to help me bridge understanding across species.
