Dawn Lowery was a great student throughout the entire program at ABC. She was a pleasure to work with. Her Mentor Trainer said that Dawn was a great trainer and had outstanding drive. I know Dawn will be a great trainer and will go far in life. I wish her the best of luck with her business. Congrats! Azure Long Program Manager Certification Specialist Animal Behavior College “Dawn’s passion and love for dogs is obvious! She is always searching for the best and most up-to-date information in the dog training industry, which is a huge benefit to the dogs and families with whom we work.” -Michelle Douglas CPDT CDBC Vice President, Association of Pet Dog Trainers The Refined Canine, LLC (Mentor)

Good morning Dawn, We really thought that you were great; believe it or not; just the bit of information you were able to relay to us on Saturday has helped. We do not give her a treat until she has calmed down; so I do turn away as you said from her until she is not jumping and she knows now after I first turn that she has to sit; so without telling her to sit she knows now that if she wants a treat she has to behave and sit; working so far. Even on the couch; I put my hands across so they are not exposed and she is getting the idea; of course, she is still trying to bite a bit; but we feel that your visit was well worth it. Have a great week; and again, thanks for your help with Molly. Regards, Pat Kakalow   “We had Dawn help us with training our new Labradoodle puppy. As soon as Dawn arrived at our house she immediately took command of the situation and calmly began working with the puppy to settle her. I was amazed at how easy she made this look. She spent time with us and the puppy showing us what we had to do to correct the puppy’s behavior. We had specific things that we wanted to work on with the puppy and Dawn took the time to show us exactly what we were looking to learn. We had worked with a different dog trainer for our older dog with mixed results. Dawn took a much different approach with her professional knowledge of dogs and wanted to know what it was we were hoping to achieve rather then just have a set training schedule of things that didn’t necessarily apply to us. Dawn also made herself available to answer any questions we had via email and was always very quick to respond. We were VERY pleased with the results we got from having Dawn train our Labradoodle puppy. I would highly recommend Dawn’s services for anyone looking for a helpful, knowledgeable and personable dog trainer.” -Vince Scimeca   “We were impressed with Dawn’s gentle and friendly approach to dog training. She has a great deal of patience with both the dogs and their handlers making the classes low stress and enjoyable.” -Dorothy Turkosz

Again, I can’t thank you enough for the time you’ve spent with us. You’re a miracle worker … Dawn began working with our dog after several false-starts in attempting to train her. We had invested in every conceivable gadget (vibrating collars, remote trainers, etc) and nothing seemed to work. Our miniature schnauzer, Bella, is deaf. We spent countless hours on the internet and joined several deaf dog support groups looking for some guidance on how to train a deaf dog. Again, nothing seemed to work. In comes Dawn … after session one, Bella was sitting and laying down all by using sign language commands. After session two, Bella was able to ’stay’ and ‘come’, again using sign language. After Bella’s final session with Dawn she is learning not to jump on people and not to react when someone comes to the door. Dawn has demonstrated a unique sense of understanding of Bella. She has taken what seemed to be an impossible situation and completely turned it around. We are thankful that we were able to work with Dawn. Bella is now a well-trained dog which will ensure her safety. We highly recommend Dawn and would be happy to speak with anyone in need of a reference. Jane & Larry Biagini

Dawn, Thank you for taking the time to meet with me, my husband Tom and our boxer, Piper, last week. In just the one hour, you really helped us to better communicate with her and we are definitely making progress. Please keep me informed of your upcoming class offerings, as we are very interested in attending. Thanks again and happy holidays. Erika Kean
