About Canine Centric

What they offer

Canine Centric was founded in 2013 to help dogs and their owners understand each other. Every program begins with a new client consultation in your home, where the trainer observes your dog's behavior in its everyday environment, evaluates temperament and discusses your goals. Packages combine the consultation with private training sessions for hands-on coaching.

The trainer

Lea has worked professionally with dogs since 2006, earned a certificate in training and behavior in 2013, is an AKC Canine Good Citizen and UKC SPOT evaluator, and teaches classes through SIRIUS Puppy & Dog Training.

Approach

Training focuses on clear communication, practical skills and strong relationships, so owners can keep working with their dogs long after sessions end.
