As far as I’m aware Leone is the only positive canine behaviourist in the Wanaka area, which is something that’s really important to me when training my own dogs. We are currently attending her puppy preschool classes (and did so with our now 4 year old dog). The classes are really well run and organised with plenty of play/socialisation opportunities, but this is structured so the pups don’t get overwhelmed. Leone explains really well how dogs learn which definitely helps with that early training.We also had Leone come to our home for a private consult, which was fantastic as it allowed us to focus on a couple of issues and get a really in depth understanding of how to move forward with training our puppy.

Leone, as I have discovered, is a mine of information when it comes to training and stimulating a dogs brain.I have participated in lessons she has held whereby she has assisted in training my dog, and others, to sniff out various objects which are hidden from the dogs sight.I found that not only did my dog, Molly, enjoy this activity but so did I. It also gave Molly a much needed outlet for her natural exuberance and tired her.She not only has been helpful with these games to play but also sorted out minor problems we have encountered when out walking Molly and meeting other dogs......addressing some of our fears.I highly recommend Leone to anyone looking for solutions to problems or for ideas on how to engage with their furchild.She's the best.

Very professional, experienced dog trainer who goes above and beyond to solve individual dog issues.

Leone was our local trainer when we fostered a pup for K9MD recently. She trained (us mostly) with kindness, focus and obvious experience and expertise. Leone gave concise, workable and successful solutions to challenges when they came up. Her puppy classes were fun and informative for us and the pups. Thanks Leone.
