At Learning Dog Behavior & Enrichment Services, we help families across Livingston County build stronger relationships with their dogs. Our approach focuses on understanding behavior and creating calm, lasting connection for both dogs and their people.

Training That Builds Connection, Not Just Compliance
At Learning Dog Behavior & Enrichment Services, we believe the best results come from collaboration, not control. Our work goes beyond obedience to address the why behind your dog’s behavior—helping you meet their emotional, social, and biological needs in sustainable ways.
Whether you’re managing reactivity, fear, or frustration, we’ll guide you through calm, compassionate methods that strengthen trust and understanding between you and your dog.
