"Lorraine at Love Up Pup has not only been an incredible dog trainer but I cannot believe how much I have learned about my dog and our relationship. She helps you look into why dogs do what they do so that you can better understand everything she brings to the training sessions. I can now read and understand my dog and I feel so much more connected to her. My anxiety has gone down and my excitement and confidence around being with her, walking and training her has gone way up.

 

Lorraine explains everything is such a way that you can really understand. And her follow up is so thorough, her love and care for the people and dogs she works with is palpable. Lorraine is a "dog person" but she is also a "human person". She has kids and a family and she truly understands what is realistic and achievable for busy folks with jobs, family or whatever you have going on. She just gets it, she makes it work for your life. Dog training can feel so overwhelming and like a huge commitment to see even a little success. Lorraine knows how to work with your individual needs and she knows how to help both you and your dog be successful. She makes training your dog simple so you can pop in and train with just a few minutes a day.

 

My pup has learned how to loose leash walk, wait at the door, quiet her anxious barking and to stop jumping on people. In addition she's learned so many cool tricks, more than I can name here. We practice it all almost everyday and I hardly have more than a few minutes a day for training. It works. Lorraine's programs work. I am so grateful for her well of wisdom about dogs and training and her overall realistic approach. She has been an incredible support for me, my dog and our family. Thank you so much, Lorraine."

"Lorraine excels as a dog trainer for two primary reasons-- she has extraordinary people skills combined with great familiarity of dogs' personalities and related behaviors. Lorriane was so attentive to the behavioral issues identified by me, listened patiently and offered a range of perspectives. She observed my 5 year old dog, Louis and came up with a variety of techniques to both redirect some troublesome behaviors while also enriching Louis' daily life with appropriate toys, games and rewards. In the process, I experienced such a growing love and appreciation for Louis that deepened my relationship with him. So, not only did some troublesome behaviors change, but my bond with Louis intensified. It just doesn't get any better in being lucky enough to have had Lorraine's cadre of skills-- not just with Louis but in building a trusting relationship with me. I am eternally grateful and recommend her services without reservation."

"I am so grateful for Lorraine and how much she has taught me about positive reinforcement and training with my dogs! My 95-lb golden retriever used to be difficult to walk; he would pull so much that it wasn't enjoyable for either of us. Within 2-3 sessions with Lorraine, he was a different dog! She also has helped with my other female golden, who is high energy, and somewhat of a spaz (but very sweet). Lorraine has been helping to teach me about the importance of enrichment and keeping her busy, so she doesn't get herself into trouble. Two different dogs, with two VERY different personalities, but I feel like we are making such great progress with the training!"
