Basil had no behavioral issues outside of those of a typical puppy but I knew that I wanted to jump ahead and get the training in early to mitigate any issues down the road. After training with Leila, Basil was like a completely different puppy. She knew all the basic commands, stopped picking up things off the ground, and walked on the leash without any issues.

I have an eight month old, HYPER by nature, West Highland Terrier who i adored but was unsure I could keep because she needed so much monitoring. In walked Leila, with her gentle, calm, and strong constitution and Josie capitulated within about two minutes. I actually started crying because the relief was overwhelming. I could not recommend another trainer more effusively!

We love Leila at K-9 Harmony! She’s worked with our dog, Ginger, since she was a puppy. Leila’s approach emphasizes good manners and she has a great way of explaining to us how to reinforce good habits at home!
