Dear Lindy,
Thank you for all you have taught Carly and our family! We could not have done it without you. You are, by far, the best dog trainer ever!
We had the unfortunate experience of working a trainer in the past who not only did not teach us much of anything useful, but also did not seem to even enjoy what she was doing. You have it all: knowl
Many thanks,

Dear Lindy,
We just had to thank you for helping us train our 10 month old collie
"Dasher". He was such a stubborn dog and set in his ways. Then you came
along. You taught us dog language in the sense of the word. You were
able to get him to listen from the start. We were amazed then and still
remain amazed today. It's been almost five years since we first started
training with you and he is still very well behaved and looks to us for
commands and approval. We recently moved away from Florida and settled
in a nice suburban neighborhood. Everybody has dogs. Occasionally we
will come across a dog with bad manners and people always ask us "How do
you get your dog to listen to you"? We just smile and say we had him
trained by the "best trainer in Florida". Dasher is now a big brother to
our new four month old Golden-doodle "Dixie". Our Collie is so well
trained that when we train our Golden-doodle our Collie follows every
command too. Our lives are so much more structured because of the
management of the dogs. We think of you often when there is a
situation and ask ourselves "What would Lindy do? Thanks again for all
your help.

"In order to really enjoy a dog,
one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi human. The point of it is
to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." ~Edward

Dog people, no doubt, love their dog(s). The key to any successful
relationship, human or canine, is learning the skill of communication
and understanding. Once this is accomplished, one will enjoy the
benefits of a unified home environment, delightful “field trips” and
bragging rights.
Lindy
Nolan has provided me with the required tools to be successful in my
communication and training skills with Mack, my Labrador Retriever.
There are various training methods; however, Lindy demonstrates that
positive reinforcement is the essential tool in the training process.
Her classes are well structured and keeps everybody, both dog and human,
on their toes. She provides the guidance and knowledge to achieve any
goal you might want to reach with your canine friend.
Lindy clarifies, “you must first, train the trainer.” Mack and I
followed the techniques Lindy demonstrated with her dog, Murphy during
class. We practiced our homework assignments regularly. Mack and I have
successfully completed two classes and are currently working on our
third class, ecstatic with the results. Mack is a social dog who we
proudly take everywhere, confident in his social skills and manners.
Everyone who comes in contact with him will comment on his well behaved
manner, his knowledge base and eagerness to please, astonished he is
still a puppy. Mack and I have a loving, balanced and
understanding relationship, one which will last an eternity. Thanks
Lindy! Debbie and Mack

Adamczyk and Marley
Being the owner of an extremely misunderstood breed, having a
well-mannered dog was of the up most importance to me. So when we
brought our boy Marley home, the first thing on the agenda was signing
him up for puppy classes. Long before we brought him home I was
researching training methods, and decided that the positive
reinforcement style of training was going to be a lot more fun than
traditional jerk and pull.
So I called up Lindy and now Marley is well on his way to passing his
CGC test. He is a gentleman in the making and I’m thrilled with how
quickly he’s learning. The best part is that he loves it too. As soon as
he sees the clicker, the wheels start turning in his blocky little head;
“Do you want me to sit? Or lie down? How about if I go over to my mat?
Rollover? Give you five? Maybe you want me to pick up that pen for you?”
He loves working for the “click” and I love having a puppy that throws
behaviors at me.
Lindy is truly fantastic; she really helps you build up the behavior in
easily obtainable steps, and makes it fun! Her classes are enjoyable as
she brings energy to them that get both the dogs and owners motivated.
She has great assortment of training tips, games, and pointers to help
you along the way- and her weekly homework assignments make sure that
you stay on track. Her dog Murphy puts Lassie to shame and is a shining
example of Lindy’s commitment to dogs and training. She is truly a great
trainer and an invaluable resource for anyone who owns a dog.
Thanks for everything Lindy!

We have a puppy that is a Wheaton Mix that we got from the shelter. We
signed up for Puppy Training through the community classes at a high
school. After two classes we quit because it was very aggressive and
forceful training, ie, choke chains, intimidation, etc.
Our vet recommended Lindy and we called and signed up for Puppy
Kindergarten. What A Difference!!
The knowledge and experience that Lindy and her staff had was awesome!
Everything was explained in detail regarding the different commands and
disciplines and why they worked and how they made sense.
That is extremely important when training a dog. With our previous dog
of 14 yrs. we had used Canine Counselors and others for training and
thought that was good, but now we know the difference.
The positive approach that Lindy uses is practical, loving and long
lasting and most of all it WORKS!
Lindy's dedication and passion is very obvious from the moment you meet
her. Our puppy is EXTREMELY stubborn and has had so much success using
Lindy's methods. Lindy Nolan Dog Obedience, Inc. is the place to bring
your puppy/dog for the BEST Education that will serve you well in your
relationship with your "best friend".
Linda & Mike Bowman and Brodie too!
