Absolute Angel Dog Training Absolute Angel Dog Training specializes in hands-on dog obedience training services around Lynchburg, Virginia. Nice To Meet You!

Let us help you achieve in having that well-mannered dog you’ve always envisioned. I’m Laura Pezzulo, Owner Of Absolute Angel Dog Training. 🐾

I discovered my passion for dog training during my career as a law enforcement officer. With years of experience assisting K-9 handlers, I learned a variety of techniques and tips that have allowed me to hone my dog training skills. I’ve proudly trained Luna, my German Shepherd, in search and rescue, working one-on-one with Jocelyn Stohl, a Vermont State Police Lieutenant (Ret.) and the Drone Program Manager with the New England K-9 Search and Rescue. In addition to Luna, my late Rottweiler mix Raja was trained and successfully passed the Canine Good Citizen test upon our first attempt. Her canine good citizen certification allowed us to visit schools and nursing homes on our own, where many of the people that we would encounter would refer to her as an “absolute angel.”

Absolute Angel Dog Training was born out of my passion to provide one-on-one dog training services in my community. It’s my mission to assist all dog owners residing in the Amherst and Lynchburg areas and beyond in relieving their frustration and anxiety of dog ownership through hands-on and in-person training. Through my business Absolute Angel Dog Training, I’m a strong advocate of least intrusive, minimally aversive (LIMA) training. I believe in providing professional dog training and education in a positive manner that will help bridge the owner/dog relationship. I also understand every dog and situation is different and will adjust training methods to best suit your needs when necessary. I’m proudly certified through the International School of Certified Dog Trainers, am a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, and a graduate of Dr. Ian Dunbar’s SIRIUS Dog Trainer Academy. No matter the issues you might be facing with your dog, the size of your dog, or the breed of your dog, I’m confident I will be able to help. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

“This training was ESSENTIAL and it has made my life 10x easier.”

Pico’s owner contacted me shortly before leaving for school. She needed her puppy ready for campus life with three roommates, and she didn’t have a lot of time.

Six lessons later, every one of her goals was met.

Every plan I create is built around the dog, the household, and the timeline. For Pico, that meant comfort first (since he was a puppy just starting out in life), then the skills he needed most, with progress checks along the way so the owner knew how to train her dog.

Update: With the help of another FB group, the owner was identified. The dogs were safely returned a little after midnight. 🙂

These boys wandered right up to my carport last night. Guess they saw my dog training yard sign and knew they’d be safe coming here. 🙂 Please share and help me locate their owner! Both males, are safe overnight in my fenced in yard.

Had a GREAT time in Cape May, NJ visiting with my parents. This was Scooter's first time at the ocean and I captured perhaps my most favorite picture of us together. (I have lots of "favorites") ♥🐾♥ Show me your favorite pics of you with your dog!

Rules to camping with your dog:
1. Always ensure your dog has all the room they need on your cot. Their comfort is of the utmost importance. Not yours. I demonstrate this in the pic below. If you look closely, you can see how I have expertly placed my legs like toothpicks to the left side, allowing Scooter to sprawl out as much as he wants. It does not matter that you brought a nice, squishy pad and thick comforter for your dog to sleep on. You just merely provided them with options.

2. Your dog’s bladder comfort is also of utmost importance. Once they have sufficiently emptied themselves, and sniffed around the entire area, only then is it your turn.

3. And finally, if you haven’t guessed, your dog MUST ALWAYS have their meals before you can even THINK about preparing yours.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way ☺️❤️🐾❤️

Scooter writes: I’m 14 years old. But retirement does not mean sitting around eating snacks all day. 😒

So I do my exercises to keep these old muscles strong, my balance steady, and my legs working so I can keep doing important things on my own.

You know… like walking around the house. Going potty outside. Investigating the kitchen. Camping.

I may be an old man, but I’ve still got places to go!

Your senior dog is capable of so much more than you probably realize! Scooter has been on a 5 month journey doing mobility exercises recommended by his wonderful veterinarian at Oak Hill Veterinary Care & Pet Resort. I put together this quick video to demonstrate his progress.

If you need help implementing similar exercises at home that your vet has recommended for your dog, I am happy to help! I can even bring my equipment to you! 😃
