My labradoodle, Kitsya, started off-leash trips to the beach with Llyr and the pack when she was 6 months old and loved every minute of the eight years of weekday daily trips to the beach and later to a ranch. She came home happy and tired (she is a bit obsessive about the ball) and the next day would wait patiently for Llyr's van to pull up. Also, Llyr was also the only person that I trusted to leave my dog to when I had to go on one- to two-week trips every year. My dog was welcomed into Llyr's family and I never had to worry about her wellbeing. Llyr is a great person and clearly loves the dogs that they takes care of. I highly recommend them..

If you are looking for a compassionate and completely reliable professional friend to help you with your dog, look no further than Llyr. We had a small beagle puppy, Ziggy, who had a knack for waking our neighborhood with her howls and had severe separation anxiety....We were at a loss! Llyr came into our lives and we instantly knew our lives were changed. For 6 years, Llyr came to our home while we were out working, took Ziggy out for hours, and dropped her off tired and ready to rest....but it doesn't stop there. Through the hikes, Llyr trained Ziggy to be independent, get along with other dogs and run around off leash (and come back!) and if you know a beagle's nose, you know that off leash recall is no easy task. I cannot recommend Llyr's services enough! Llyr is professional and will truly love your pup as much as you do. We moved away and over time got new puppies and with every new family member, I think to myself ‘If only Llyr was here...’ I cannot recommend their services more...A true dog expert!

I cannot recommend Llyr enough for all your dog training and walking needs. They walked both of our dogs for over 10 years and our pups were the better for it. Any training issue or behavioral problems were quickly addressed by Llyr- whether on walks, or through advising us. Our rescue pup, June Bug, especially benefited from daily walks with them. June Bug’s recall could not have been better and we know it is because of Llyr. They have such a special touch with dogs that is hard to accurately describe in words. Your beloved furry loved will be in the best hands with Llyr.

Llyr's ability with dogs is truly unparalleled. Working with Llyr has brought harmony back to our home. Mika is happier, healthier and a more love-able version of her former self. We saw amazing improvement after just 4 training sessions! We are so grateful! With sincere gratitude,

As educators ourselves, we know a good teacher when we see one. That’s Llyr, a trainer and a teacher, an observer and a listener, offering us the right mix of skills to be effective trainers and teachers for Odin.

Having raised 4 puppies and taken each of them to puppy classes, by far, Llyr has been the best trainer. Their appreciation for the puppies and the humans is evident in all ways. Their calm approach, steady belief in the dogs, support of us as we make it through the beginning year has been immeasurably helpful.
This is the first time I have raised a pup on my own and I found myself looking forward to those Sundays and the way Llyr would set me on course again, all the while acknowledging the challenges. Llyr believes in the dog’s intelligence and our growing ability to see and experience the joy in the special relationship between human and canine.
