I started working with Leum shortly after we brought home Cedar, our new Aussie puppy. I was considering puppy classes, when a friend told me about StayWildDog Training. After some research I scheduled my "Discovery Call" with Leum. We started working on the fundamental skills in our home without the distractions of a puppy class. Working one-on-one with Leum gave me the opportunity to really focus on these skills in a safe environment while building a deeper connection and relationship with my puppy.More recently, Cedar has become reactive and I needed help navigating through this new behavior. I reached out to Leum again. He helped me to develop a plan with specific goals and strategies to prevent the reactivity and transform Cedar's emotional responses into positive ones. We are still working on that! I am noticing changes, little by little, and learning to read my dog so much better than I have before. When there is a setback and I feel discouraged, Leum in his positive manner, always offers encouragement.I appreciate that Leum uses science-based, fear-free approaches to modify behavior. His training is positive and respectful. He is patient, kind, attentive, accommodating, and always takes the time to answer questions. He is timely when sending session notes which are helpful for reviewing.Working with Leum is truly a partnership and I highly recommend him for anyone looking to work on fundamental skills, or challenging behaviors.

Leum has helped us transform our reactive cattle dog, Jake, to one who can now sit under the table at the brewery while we enjoy a beer. When he first came out no one could get within 10 feet of us without our dog reacting. He is now mostly comfortable with strangers coming up and talking with us at home and on the streets. I highly recommend Leum and StayWild to anyone that wants to build a better relationship with their dog. Less

Highly recommend Leum at Stay Wild Dog Training! My dog has made significant progress. He went from being completely reactive and not being able to go for walks, to walking every single day. Leum is very knowledgeable and has helped me communicate better with my dog and understand what he is trying to communicate. Overall has made a huge difference in behavior and relationship with my dog, in such a positive way! Less

Leum has been an excellent source of assistance and information for my three pups! He's helped from very early on with getting their foundations in as well as exercises as they've grown! And all of this has been done from across the country! I highly recommend him, whether you're local and can do in person (which I would in a heartbeat if I could!) OR you go for the Zoomies program and build with your pup from anywhere! Less

When I met Leum just a short while ago, my dog was in desperate need of trama training, she went from being my service dog. (Who i desperately need) She was beautifully behaved I could take her anywhere never had to worry about anything! Then a major trama happened and it changed her completely! She went from being my service dog, to having very aggressive reactive behavior towards other dogs she would literally take me out trying to attack any dog she could just smell she didnt even have to see it.... I broke my heart and sadly her behavior just kept escalating. There were many many tears and tons of frustration trying to figure out how to handle this! That was just over a year ago that the trama happened and she was just a witness. She just observed it, didn't happen directly to her, but the damage did I had no idea how big trama was in pets but it broke my family for a long time. Then I had heard about Mr. Leum, he came highly recommended to me! So I figured I would give him a chance, only after researching him, I got ahold of him. And let me tell you something... He is extremely good at what he does. I can now take my dog in the car. And and she can relax, she is no longer overly sensitive about everything we drive near, (keep in mind she had nearly caused a few accidents reacting to things while i drove so i started leaving her home 😪) she has learned to relax at home, she's way more playful now, She is way more content, i can see the healing with the help of Leum. She whitnessed this trama at ayear and five months old! If you are looking for somebody who can Help your pets feel more like themselves and get things back on track. Leum is definitely your man!!! I would highly recommend him to anybody. He is kind, compassionate, and logical. Very professional, friendly. And he has a deep passion for helping your pets. I can not thank him enough for what hes done for my girl. I'm actuially excited for her future now. All this work is paying off!!!!!! Yippie Thank you, Leum, you are amazing!!!! Less

Leum is a wonderful trainer! Stay Wild Dog Training has made all the difference for our family. Our pup is very anxious and Leum provided us with skills and ideas to help all of us work better together. It’s nice know that Leum is available when needed. Prices are reasonable and the training is exceptional! Less

Leum is not only deeply knowledgeable of dog care and training, he is also kind and very a attentive listener. We had so many questions each session, and he made efforts to address every one either with a demonstration or an emailed guide. Our lab/collie rescue Rainbow has high anxiety, energy and intelligence. Leum helped us identify the roots of her behaviors and offered us a plethora or means to help lower her stress and raise her confidence. I feel I have a much stringer bond with Rainbow now and a more clear language with both her and my husband. Thank you, Leum!! Less
