In-Home Puppy Training That actually WorkS

We use only humane, science-based, positive reinforcement methods — no harsh tools or methods; no shock collars, no prongs!

Give your puppy the best start with Born to Be's Puppy Prodigy Program!

Training begins in the home as early as 8 weeks — even before full vaccinations — so your puppy can start building manners, confidence, and healthy habits right from the start! Puppies learn best during these early weeks, making it easier to set them up for a lifetime of good behavior.

If your puppy is older, don’t worry - it's never too late! I create custom training programs for every puppy, focusing on preventing future behavior problems. The program guides your puppy through each critical stage of early development and includes:

Weekly one-on-one training sessions

Guided homework and practice exercises

Our hands-on Puppy Progress Planner (see below!)

Exclusive access to online courses

Ongoing support via email or text

"Leah has done wonders with our wild puppy. She is spot on with understanding our puppy and also training us. Only thing is we don’t get the treats lol. Our Ellie is better all around. We have a few more sessions but each one has been very beneficial. She is very caring and keeps in touch with us between sessions. Answers texts quickly and offers a lot of encouragement. Would recommend her for any dog."

Amber Paschal

"Leah’s direction with our rescue pup Marceline has been invaluable. She taught us from square one how to read a dog's body language, what techniques are effective and which aren’t with our specific dog, and gives us constant support. Without Leah’s direction and her positive training methods - I’m sure Marci would be a completely different dog. I could not recommend this company highly enough!"

"Kona's trainer, Leah and Born to Be Dog Training are fabulous!! Leah has been training my puppy for the last 5 months and has taught both of us so much. Leah is very patient and knowledgeable and I am so happy to have found her. I plan to continue learning and integrating her techniques throughout Kona's future. Every time we have a session, he waits for her at the door. Kona knows her car and cannot wait to give her his kisses. I highly recommend Leah for all your dog training needs. Leah is part of our family now and we admire her so much!"

"I can’t say enough good things about Leah! She’s been such a positive influence on both me and my dog. From the very first session, Leah was calm, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does. She really took the time to understand my dog’s personality and behavior instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Within just a few sessions, I started to notice real progress — my dog is more focused, calmer on walks, and actually enjoys the training process now. Leah always makes sure I feel confident continuing the exercises at home and gives great feedback without judgment.

If you’re looking for someone who’s not only knowledgeable but also kind, consistent, and genuinely cares about your dog’s success, Leah is the one! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a trainer who truly makes a difference."

Cris Eggers

"Leah's expertise and insights have helped us understand and work with our puppy's challenging behavior. When we started training with her, our dog was jumping and nipping, guarding chew toys and other objects, and barking and lunging at other dogs when we walked. We were on the verge of giving up. She assessed him and our home and gave us tips on how to help him manage his impulses and how to better communicate with him so that he could understand what we wanted. He has an almost-perfect recall now. He walks calmly on the leash. He responds to the command, "sit" when he starts to jump. He is a more relaxed and cooperative member of our household now.

What an amazing transformation!

We work with Leah primarily via video which has been surprisingly effective. I highly recommend Born to Be Dog Training."

Carole Paley

"Leah is truly remarkable. Three weeks ago I brought home a sweet 5 month old Sheltie. This puppy had no clue about walking, potty training, or coming when called. When I tried to take him for a walk he sat down shaking and refused to move. I found Leah online and she is a miracle worker. From the moment she came in I felt her gentle connection with my puppy. Using positive reinforcement and rewards she encouraged him to let her put on the leash and step outside. By the time our first session was done, he was visibly less anxious.

The next day, using the approach and techniques Leah had taught me, I was able to take my pup outside and go for a short walk. Each day he is becoming more confident and more interactive.
I attribute a great deal of this to the insights I gained from Leah, and will certainly call her again as needed. I recommend Leah without hesitation to anyone who needs some guidance in training their dog 🐾"

DISCLAIMER: Behavior modification is a collaborative process that depends on the consistent implementation of training techniques by the owner. While we specialize in fostering positive behavioral changes, no trainer can guarantee specific outcomes or "cure" a dog's behavior. As behavior is influenced by numerous factors, including environment and individual circumstances, the dog's behavior remains the responsibility of the owner.
