I can’t say enough good things about Born to Be Dog Training and Leah! As a Deaf dog owner, it’s incredibly hard to find trainers who know ASL—and I was thrilled to find Leah. She made the entire experience accessible, respectful, and empowering for both me and my 8-month-old dog, Collie.Collie had been struggling with crate training and completely refused to go in.

I can’t say enough good things about Born to Be Dog Training and Leah! As a Deaf dog owner, it’s incredibly hard to find trainers who know ASL—and I was thrilled to find Leah. She made the entire experience accessible, respectful, and empowering for both me and my 8-month-old dog, Collie.Collie had been struggling with crate training and completely refused to go in. Leah worked with us patiently to find real solutions. She suspected that Collie might be developing separation anxiety and kindly suggested I contact a professional for support. That showed me how deeply she cares—not just about training but about overall well-being.Leah is friendly, kind, and incredibly understanding. She always takes the time to show clear examples and make sure I know exactly what to do. Her communication is clear, visual, and encouraging—perfect for Deaf dog owners like me. She makes you feel supported every step of the way.After finishing our first training package, I didn’t even hesitate to sign up for more. I would keep Leah as our trainer forever if I could! I’m truly grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone—especially Deaf dog owners—who want a trainer who understands, communicates clearly, and truly cares. Less

The dog training videos were helpful. The content was very visual, with clear and practical demonstrations that made it easy to understand and apply the techniques. I love that the videos were presented in American Sign language, which made them accessible and inclusive.

Leah was amazing and each session was very productive and informative! She really helped us understand dog body language, positive training techniques and set up protocols for us to have in place for different scenarios.

Leah’s direction with our rescue pup Marceline has been invaluable. She taught us from square one how to read a dogs body language, what techniques are effective and which aren’t with our specific dog, and gives us constant support. Without Leah’s direction and her positive training methods - I’m sure Marci would be a completely different dog. I could not recommend this company highly enough!... More

I chose the top package, where Bora got to be trained by her in total of 20 sessions. I loved watching how Bora thrived with a great trainer and how many things I've learned about what to do with dogs. Bora is now 7 months old and she's sooo good, thanks to Leah! I definitely will sign her up for more sessions.... More

Leah is the best. Our anxious dog is doing much better now. We really appreciate her skills and professionalism. She even goes beyond being a trainer. She cares and loves our dog and support us beyond her sessions. We needed her one time for an emergency vet visit and she was right there. She handles every client with love and deep concern for our welfare. She is family now.... More

Leah is very patient and knowledgeable and I am so happy to have found her. I plan to continue learning and integrating her techniques throughout Kona's future.

Leah is part of our family now and we admire her so much! Less

Leah's expertise and insights have helped us understand and work with our puppy's challenging behavior. When we started training with her, our dog was jumping and nipping, guarding chew toys and other objects, and barking and lunging at other dogs when we walked. We were on the verge of giving up. She assessed him and our home and gave us tips on how to help him manage his impulses and how to bet... More

Leah's expertise and insights have helped us understand and work with our puppy's challenging behavior. When we started training with her, our dog was jumping and nipping, guarding chew toys and other objects, and barking and lunging at other dogs when we walked. We were on the verge of giving up. She assessed him and our home and gave us tips on how to help him manage his impulses and how to better communicate with him so that he could understand what we wanted. He has an almost-perfect recall now. He walks calmly on the leash. He responds to the command, "sit" when he starts to jump. He is a more relaxed and cooperative member of our household now. What an amazing transformation! We work with Leah primarily via video which has been surprisingly effective. I highly recommend Born to Be Dog Training. Less

Leah is the most amazing and patient person I have ever met. She truly cares for each animal under her care and is able to create unique individualized plans for each of my dogs to address the most pressing issues. my big boy (115lbs of pitbull, sheperd,and rottweiler) is terrified of a muzzle but does not currently have the manners to be around other dogs.

Leah is the most amazing and patient person I have ever met. She truly cares for each animal under her care and is able to create unique individualized plans for each of my dogs to address the most pressing issues. my big boy (115lbs of pitbull, sheperd,and rottweiler) is terrified of a muzzle but does not currently have the manners to be around other dogs. Leah created a plan, and in a matter of a couple of weeks Orbit is now eating treats from next to the that he used to run from. She is an amazing advocate in your corner and will help you to re-imagine whay your life can be like with your furry kids. We tried another trainer, who told me to put down Orbit, we would never be able to rehabilitate him. in weeks, with hard work, I can see a future where my dogs can interact with my families pets and be in harmony. Leah, words can never express how grateful I am that I knew you and was able to bring you on board to help my furry family. it's like SuperNanny but for my furry friends! AMANDA AND SHANE Less

Leah’s training was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable of dog behaviors and training tactics for them - especially behavioral issues. Our dog is very reactive and she gave us very detailed, but easy to follow instructions on how to begin working with our dog. She had a timeline of progressive training to solve our reactivity issue and provided very clear direction and communication. She also followed up after our appointment via email and has been so SO helpful, kind, friendly, and creative on solving issues. Leah really cares about what’s best for both the owner and the dog and helps clients balance both realistic expectations and encouragement for improvement on a timeline that is comfortable and realistic for the dog. She provided many many resources like handouts, links, etc. and gave us (or informed us of) the right tools we needed to be successful. Her training was also cost effective and 100% worth it. Our dog can now go on walks with minor reaction and her intros to strangers are improving heavily. 10/10 would recommend. Less

Leah's approach to training is phenomenal. She helped explain how to read my dog's body language. She uses positive enforcement and love to teach your dog the desired behavior.
