Introduction:

My name is Dawn Looney. I am a dog trainer in Auburn,AL who focuses on reactivity in dogs but also handles basic/advanced obedience and solving problem behaviors! I am working towards the CBATI-KA certification.

My methods are 99.9% positive reinforcement! However, I will use/allow owners to use tools (prong collars, e-collars, etc.) as long as they can show me that they understand how to use it properly and that their dog understands what it means.

I offer home training (where training will occur in the clients home with the client working their dog) or public training (where the clients dog, client and the trainer) go to a public space and train.

Feel free to message me on Facebook, via phone, or via email if you have questions or would like a consultation!
