Meet Our Director
Lynn Eckhardt, Director & Lead Instructor
My name is Lynn Eckhardt and I'm a LIMA method trainer. I've been training dogs since 2017.
I began studying canine psychology around this time, having attended seminars such as "Exploring Canine Attachment Behavior" hosted by Lauren Thiekle and "Canine Intelligent Disobedience and Cognition" hosted by Barbara Handelman and ken McCort as well as completing Alexa Diaz's workshop through K9 Training Institute. I've also completed canine training and behavioral courses such as "Advanced Canine Body Language" through the International School for Canine Psychology and Behavior, "Dog training Careers- Professional Dog Trainer" through Udemy Courses as well as completing the Free Free Certification Program through Fear Free and having been recognized as a Fear Free Professional. I've been recognized through the American Kennel Club as a Certified Evaluator as well as being a Registered Professional through the International Association of Canine Professionals.
This and more has led me to where I am now- able to help dogs and their owners with technique backed by experience or education. Having trained or aided in the training of an abundance of service dogs including several of my own over the years, my program is now happy to provide pre-trained dogs to aid those needing them. Aside from our dogs' total cost being less than half the average across the US and offering payment plans with no interest, we are even in connection with programs who assist with covering funding for these dogs to make them as accessible to those who need them as possible.
My team and I welcome you to join us in our never-ending journey of learning and improvement where we value kindness and understanding first and foremost- to our human and canine friends alike.
