      Bobby Lynn was absolutely amazing to work with. We had tried other programs and trainers with no positive results. We have a one year old golden retriever and Bobby Lynn is like a magical dog whisperer. We now have a very well behaved and happy doggy. Incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We can not recommend her program enough. If you are serious about having your dog professionally trained then look no further. Worth every penny. Thank you again Bobby Lynn.

      BobbiLynn is a real professional who cares about the dogs she trains and the families who provide for them. She is professional and focused and takes a genuine interest in the well-being of the pets. She did a great job with our new puppy, a Westie named Angus, and also allowed our older Westie to grab some of the attention, too. We learned a lot and so did both of our dogs. We highly recommend her.

      We are so glad we found Bobbi-Lynn on Yelp. My wife and I are first time dog owners and have an 11 week old golden retriever. We really wanted to do in person lessons but due to Covid-19 we had to do virtual lessons and are very glad we did. We had our puppy for 2 weeks before reaching out to her, we wish we would have called her the first day we got our little pup. She has taught us invaluable things that we know will last a lifetime. She is very friendly, calm and extremely knowledgeable. We had a lot of questions and she answered every one of them.

      We didn't know how to prevent nipping and biting and this was becoming an issue for us. She taught us over video training lessons what to do and it has been a life changer. After the first virtual class we didn't think it could get better but we have had two more virtual classes with her and it's making a huge difference in our training. She gives simple concise write ups after each lesson with is very helpful to refer to. We would recommend these virtual classes to anyone who is looking to train their puppy/dog. Thank you Bobbi-Lynn, we look forward to more classes!

      Riley is an amazing person! I called her for training sessions, although she didn't have time to train my puppy but she introduced me an amazing trainer. She told me what kind of trainers I should look for, and just from her suggestions I could tell she really cares about dogs. No wonder she has so many good reviews. People only care about money nowadays, it's really hard to find a person who cares about your dog as much as you do!
      Thank you Riley.

      Bobbi-Lynn was my first dog, Chunk's trainer over 13 years ago. Now during quarantine days, I recently got a new puppy; a baby bulldog named Bertha. I reached out to Bobbi-Lynn once again and found that our virtual zoom sessions have been just as affective and helpful. She is like my dog therapist! Seriously, after every session I feel better, my dog feels better, improvements are seen..even though we are doing things remotely! Thank you Bobbi-lynn for your continous support and guidance through these very important stages of Bertha's life.

      She is amazing at solving behavioral problems for dogs. My one year old pup was still not fully potty-trained despite efforts by myself and my household. Bobbi-Lynn came up with an ingenious solution to the problem and he's been perfect ever since! She helped with various other aspects of his behavior as well. I highly recommend her.

      Bobbi-Lynn is such a talented dog trainer, and a wonderful person! We were stressed to the max with a 4 month old Goldendoodle and called Bobbi-Lynn to come help. She showed up and listened to our concerns, then began the process of teaching us how to positively train our pup. She showed us various techniques, then left us with handouts to follow in her absence. She made herself available by email in between our training sessions when questions came up, and never made us feel bad if we didn't necessarily follow the training guidelines (we are slow learners!). She was gentle and loving with our pup, and really cared about integrating him into our family as one of our greatest challenges was our young kids and the dog. She even worked with our 4 year old to teach her certain techniques! I would highly recommend her if you need any kind of help with your dog, she is talented and fantastic!

      Bobbi Lynn is an incredible dog trainer. We found her on yelp through her great reviews and she worked wonders on our stubborn husky puppy. She taught our Madex many many things and he is so knowledgeable and obedient because of Bobbi Lynn's training. Everyone always compliments us on his great behavior and we always tell them our trainer is to thank. Thank you Bobbi Lynn for not only training Madex but giving us the knowledge and tools we need to reinforce your training throughout Madex's life.

      I cannot speak highly enough about Bobbie-Lynn and her training with our dog (17 months). She is exceptional with our entire family - including my 12 & 13 year olds in the lessons. She has taught us how to reward behavior and encourage our husky/collie/pit mix to respond positively. I highly recommend her!!!

      This review is a long time in coming... I had Bobbie-Lynn come out and help with my German Shepherd - who was older and picking up some bad habits. I interviewed a few other trainers and honestly when one of them walked through the door, i thought my dog was going to attack and kill him. When Bobbie-Lynn showed up, Scout immediately took to her. She was a wonderful trainer - not only with the dog , but with us - since frankly we needed to be trained as well - in terms of how to work with Scout and be consistent with him. She taught us a lot of useful tips about how to control his barking and getting into trouble when he was left alone. i highly recommend her! We will be calling her again ourselves!
