About Loren Kearney
With more than 7 years of experience, Loren enjoys the challenge of working with dogs as individuals. Different dogs may require different approaches, and that variety encourages Loren to think creatively and adapt training to the dog in front of them.
A particularly rewarding part of training for Loren is watching dogs develop mentally and build confidence. When working with dogs that are fearful, timid, or unsure, Loren focuses on providing clear guidance, appropriate support, and consistent expectations while helping owners understand how to continue that work.
Loren’s professional background includes OLK9 Certification and approval as an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. Continuing education includes participation in a Michael Ellis OLK9 Training Seminar, coursework in behavior modification through Stratford Career Institute, and other educational opportunities related to dog training.
Through private lessons and Board and Train programs, Loren focuses on practical obedience, communication, and behavior while adapting the training process to each dog’s individual needs.
Loren’s Training Philosophy
Loren believes in working with the dog in front of you rather than applying exactly the same approach to every dog. Sometimes a dog needs clear coaching and direction, while at other times an uncertain dog may need additional encouragement and support. Consistency, persistence, and teamwork remain central throughout the process.
Training Tip From Loren: “Work the dog in front of you. Be a coach when the dog needs coaching and a best friend when the dog is unsure of itself. Be consistent, persistent, and enthusiastic with your breaks. Teamwork makes the dream work!”
