About Lehigh Valley Dog Training

Services

Founded by Gwenevere Marx, this school offers puppy training, socialization classes, behavioral modification and aggression rehabilitation (dog-to-dog and dog-to-human), off-leash training, field command and obedience, service dog training, and therapy dog certification. In-home sessions and group classes are both available, along with rehabilitation for rescued dogs and free follow-up classes for life.

Approach

The philosophy centers on teaching families to be 'Leader of the Pack.' The site is explicit that it does not use e-collars or shock collars.

Good to know

The business states it has operated since 1985 and lists a team of lead trainers. Gwenevere Marx is described as an animal behaviorist, and ADA service-dog certification is offered. The site cites media features and multiple local 'Readers' Choice' wins.
