Lea has been teaching dog
obedience in the Coachella Valley
for 28 years. Her training program
is based on "Mutual Respect
Conditioning". Her motivation to
teach comes from her desire to
prevent unwanted behavior and to
help dogs obtain social skills for
living in any environment.
Prior to teaching obedience, Lea
spent 10 years helping dogs find
new homes. These dogs required
training and confidence building in
order to be placed. In addition,
she apprenticed with a reputable
trainer for 3 years. She has 6 years
experience with the County Sheriff
Department's Search and Rescue
Division. She and her
specialty-trained dog "Montana"
are certified and dedicated to
assisting in the search for missing
persons.
Lea believes that doing agility
allows you to build a solid bond
with your dog. Working together
in agility provides exercise, mental
stimulation and is just great fun for
you and your pet.
