Meet Leah
I am the founder of LMK Canines. I have been studying animal behavior, both wild and domestic, for eight years and counting and have a passion for training canines and parrots. I hold an associates degree in Fish and Wildlife Technology and a bachelor's degree in Wildlife Management from the State University of New York at Cobleskill. I am an approved AKC CGC Evaluator.
I have lived with canines for 30 years, usually no less than 2 at a time. I have spent 5 years studying Canine Training and Management towards becoming a Certified Professional. I focus on high-quality work and helping people to better connect with the pets and animals that they love.
I have two dogs Stark & Rogue, who are the lights of my life. Our goal is to help you to better understand, communicate and connect with your canine companion.

After the first lesson there was already a huge improvment. Elvis was learning to walk by my side and not run off every time a person or dog walked passed us. She was also learning basic commands like stay and come which before I would of never thought possible. Elvis is now a regualr at dog beach and one of the best behaved dogs there!

The trainers are incredibly patient and knowledgeable, using positive reinforcement techniques that really work. They also took the time to teach me how to reinforce the training at home, which has made a world of difference.

_"I can’t believe the transformation I’ve seen in my dog, Rocky, after working with Dog Trainer! Before training, Rocky struggled with basic commands, leash pulling, and barking at strangers. After just a few sessions, I noticed significant improvements. He’s now so much more responsive to commands, walks calmly by my side, and is much better behaved around new people.
