Lindsay Evans
Training with Lindsay uses science-based, positive reinforcement training methods.
We follow the LIMA principle: Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive method. The leading dog training organizations are in favor of this science-based, positive training approach:
-American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviorists (AVSAB)
-Society of Veterinary Behavior Technicians (SVBT)
-Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT)
-Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT)
-International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC)
-Pet Professional Guild (PPG)
Lindsay graduated from the only school in the country that offers a Bachelor of Science in Canine Behavior, Bergin University of Canine Studies. Upon graduation, she worked on the Behavior Team at an animal shelter in Missouri, then moved on to training Service Dogs in San Diego. Along with Lindsay’s degree, she has had thousands of hours of hands-on training experience, is Fear Free Certified, an AKC CGC evaluator, an AKC Fit Dog Instructor, and keeps up-to-date on current research by attending continuing education seminars.
We are passionate about teaching dogs to behave for their pet parents. Our favorite part about training is when a new skill clicks for a dog, and seeing the training process advance from there. We love seeing the smile on clients’ faces after seeing their dog make progress, after they thought it would be impossible. When we work with you and your pup, you’ll see positive results after the first session. Instructions are easy to follow and are broken down in small steps, to set you and your dog up for success. If you’re looking to have a dog that you enjoy living with and taking on adventures, start by reaching out to us! We want to help you feel the relief of being able to live harmoniously with your dog.
“Lindsay was an amazing trainer! She really took time to understand the root of our dog’s reactivity, then tailored the training program to our dog and our lifestyle. Our dog has come so far in the few weeks we have worked with Lindsay. She is also super supportive of us as owners, encouraging us to keep working with our dog and giving us tips for keeping things moving forward after our training with Lindsay is completed. She has our strongest endorsement!” -Heather C.
“Lindsay is an amazing trainer, helping our 2 pups and us to have a happy life! Would highly recommend.” -Laura G.
“Lindsay helped us make tremendous progress over four individual sessions. Our dog is much more relaxed and comfortable when on a leash, and demonstrates less anxiety overall. We’re starting with group sessions soon!” -Nada S.
“Highly recommend! I’ve brought my pup through almost two full rounds of group training sessions (12 total) and just recently started private training sessions with Lindsay. In just a short amount of time, I am already seeing huge improvements with my dogs noise reactivity, anxiety, and fear. Additionally, in group and private lessons Lindsay gives you specific tricks, and homework to practice with your dog. This has both increased my dog’s overall confidence, manners, and it is easier for him to relax. Lindsay’s training style has been a perfect fit for myself and my dog. She is patient, and goes at whichever pace is best for you and your dog. She is always positive, and encouraging throughout training sessions (private and group). I’m excited to continue private lessons with Lindsay, thank you so much!” -Payton S.
“Highly recommend working with Lindsay! We attended group sessions that were very productive and enjoyable. We enjoyed the class structure and how we learned new skills and built upon them over the course of a few weeks. Lindsay explained and demonstrated each skill set which was very helpful. She also went around individually and took the time to provide feedback and tips on each skill that we did. She did a great job with balancing the group as a whole as well as one-on-one. Being in a group setting was very beneficial for my dog as he was able to learn to remain focused in the distraction of other people, dogs, and in a new setting. We learned multiple real-life skills throughout class and received many tips on how to maintain this behavior outside of class. Lindsay has a lot of valuable knowledge and is very passionate about what she does!” -Shannon S.
