Winnabow K9 Board & Train, LLC

We can’t recommend Lora enough! This is actually the second time we’ve sent a dog to her, and she continues to exceed all expectations. Winston’s on- and off-leash training has been incredible, and it’s clear how knowledgeable and skilled she is. Lora is not only highly professional, but also genuinely caring—she treats every dog with love and attention, making their experience safe, fun, and effective. Her friendly and approachable service makes the entire process seamless, and she’s the only trainer we confidently refer our friends and family to. If you want results, care, and a trainer who truly understands dogs, Lora is the one!

Lora was amazing with my 2 Frenchies!! I had aggressive issues with one of the girls against the other. Before deciding to rehome one of them we decided on training. It was the best decision!! She was very patient with Penelope (aggressive one). And worked on the tools that would help her get along with her sister. We then sent Ruby after Penelope's training was done for a shorter time to work with Ruby's issues. We now have the calmest, obedient and loving Frenchies!! Lora also worked with us and taught us the tools needed to continue reinforcing positive behavior. My heart is full ♥️

Lora has a one-on-one approach to in home dog training. Lora takes the time to get to know each dogs’ personality and work on the owners goals. She explained the 3 week training process well and we knew what to expect. Our family saw results with another dog Lora trained and had no doubts in Lora’s abilities. Our 6 month old 60 pound male dog spent 3 weeks with Lora and we are extremely happy with his progress. Our older female dog is also pleased the puppy has much better manners.

I adopted my dog, Gizmo, from Pitt Friends, when he was a baby. He had a few training sessions, but nothing really seemed to stick. Fast-forward two years, and I found myself with an adult dog with barely any manners. He was fine with me, but throw another adult in the mix and he would become a ball of chaos- jumping on people, barking nonstop for attention. He walked fine on a leash, but was easily distracted by people and other animals. He was wild at the vet, often refused to come to me when called, and was showing some destructive behaviors in the backyard. I was totally at my wits end. It was my fault I had not gotten him adequate training before now, but something had to give and knew he was not going to grow out if it. Pitt Friends recommended Lora and I gave her a call. She spent at least 30 minutes talking with me to learn about what wanted Gizmo to get from training. She explained her methods and how the three week training would proceed. I immediately felt comfortable with her and set up a plan. During the three week board and train, she was in constant communication. I got reports and videos every other day, and she also communicated when he developed a little skin irritation. I truly felt she loved on him like he was her own dog. In the videos, I was amazed by Gizmo's transformation from basket case to calm, focused boy. Since coming home, he has shown off his skills at home and in public. It warms my heart when strangers comment how well mannered he is and it is all thanks to Lora and Winnabow. I highly recommend her if you are struggling with dog behaviors. You will not be disappointed!

You won’t regret using Lora for training! We sent our two dogs for her two week stay away camp. The prime reason’s being: confidence for a scared dog, not barking/jumping on people and making walks easier. She MASTERED these for our two dogs! 3 KEY THINGS Lora did that we loved: 1. Video/photo’s every 2-3 days 2. 2 hour training for you/your family after the training weeks 3. She genuinely just loved on our dogs while they were there. - our dogs came back wanting to get pets from Lora, and even in our house wanting her attention. That shows she took care of them!! They weren’t treated like “animals” but pets. 10/10 we loved using her and you will too!!
