Meet The Trainer

My name is Alexa Young

Lydia’s natural ability to work with dogs comes from her background competitively showing horses around the PNW, and a childhood growing up wild with her family’s Malamute, Keeshond, and Rough Collie. Lydia uses a balanced training approach to provide clear communication, so owners can gain a connection with their canine that brings harmony to their home. Lydia believes every opportunity is a training opportunity and has a goal to make training easy to incorporate into your everyday life.
