Want calmer greetings at the door, a more confident dog, less reactivity, or the right start with a new puppy?

Whoever your dog is

Puppy, doodle, purebred — whatever you've got, we'll meet them where they are.

You don't need to explain or apologize for your dog before we start. Whatever's going on, we've likely seen it before, and we'll always be honest with you about what's realistic.

Let's Talk About Your Dog

Every breed. Every age. Real experience.

  • Their reactivity or aggression has you genuinely worried — learn about behavior modification
  • You've tried everything and nothing is working
What you're hoping for
  • You have a new puppy and want to start things off right — learn about puppy training
  • You want a polite, well-mannered family dog who walks nicely and behaves when guests arrive
  • You want to do more with your dog because it's fun — advanced obedience, tricks, sports, adventures together

We've helped thousands of dogs and their owners work through issues and develop better relationships with their dogs — and we can help yours too.

Let's Talk About Your Dog
Dog training session in the Uintah Basin
Since 1985

Not guessing. Knowing.

Anyone can love dogs, and almost anyone can teach a sit or a shake. What you need is someone who knows exactly what to do when your specific dog is struggling.

From fearful shelter dogs to Hollywood film sets to celebrity clients in Beverly Hills — that depth of experience means when your dog is in front of us, we're not guessing. We adapt when something isn't clicking, and we hold certifications from IACP and NADOI to prove it.

"She was always on time and jumped right into what we needed. She was wonderful to our whole family… even after we finished private sessions, she still checks in on us!"
— Holly A.
"My dog was so aggressive towards strangers she was difficult to work with safely. Lynne cracked the secret to calming her aggression. You can stop reading and just call Lynne — she's well worth every penny."
— Heather
"If not for Lynne I would not have my wonderful friend and companion Gunner. I would highly recommend Blazing Trails K9 Academy."
— Mike and Debbie O'Keefe
"We adopted a wonderful dog from a shelter who had issues with trust, guarding, and attacking anyone who entered our home. Working with Lynne has greatly improved his behavior — we can safely let people in our home again, and he actually likes working for her now."
— Heidy
