Dear Leah, Thank you so much for your great training classes for Sparky! Under
your tutelage, it was rewarding to see how far we and Sparky came from the
first class to the last! You made the training fun, and it was good for Sparky and
for us. We appreciated your expertise and enjoyed your kind and gentle, yet
firm, manner. We are happy for the certification of your dogs and your moving to
Alabama, and at the same time sad to see you go. We’d like to stay in contact
with you. We wish you all the best in your new endeavors. Again, thank you for
the wonderful experience of being in your class.

Leah was wonderful in helping us bridge the gap between human and dog, and to help us
understand how to communicate with our dog to get quick and positive results. Leah gave
personal attention to each of us, evaluating our dog's strengths and weaknesses so that
she could perform the required behaviors. Leah was well prepared for our course, with
study sheets and class materials, and always available for questions. We have now been
to 3 levels of training, and Leah was the most prepared and made our classes most
enjoyable.

Hi Leah, Gaby and I are sorry to see you go, but you must be VERY excited about
your new adventure, now you just have to listen "in Southern", I think dogs bark
Southern! And do they have BIG hair there? HA, Gaby would fit RIGHT in! Keep
in touch and I love keeping you updated as you were her FIRST teacher and we
appreciated ALL your kind help.

Dear Leah, Thank you so much for giving me such a good start with my dog Heidi. You
training techniques are wonderful. I have continued to use them and reuse them over and
over as necessary. She looks forward to "work time". Thanks to you I have a good
dog/human foundation to keep with me forever. I am proud of Heidi. She has been kind
and gentle, yet protective from the moment I got her. I know your training techniques are
what made her an even better dog. You are a very gifted lady.
I wish to report that Heidi also talks now....well at least to us she does. Every morning we
have a talk fest. I say I Love You over and over and she says it back to me. Of course it
sounds more like this...
I ruvvvvvroooooooo. But she really does have the sound of it down pat. It’s great!

Hi Leah - I thought you'd like to know that I have continued Ty’s specialty
training. Ty can do everything we learned from you even better than before and
at a distance. He's backing up, head down, raising his foot, and can be sent to a
mark. The thing I liked about your training was that you explained what and why
we were doing something and how the dog would react. You taught us step by
step and emphasized going in small steps. I'll keep you up to date.
Thanks Leah - great training!

I highly recommend Leah for first time puppy owners (like I was). Her
knowledge, experience and hands-on training were invaluable to me. I got my
mini-dachshund, Ginger, at seven weeks old and even though I had read a
million dog books, it was not until Leah came to my home and worked with me &
Ginger in our own environment that everything clicked. Leah was very patient
and also very flexible. She taught me and Ginger all the basic commands like
"sit" and "stay" but also showed me practical things like how to put on Ginger's
harness and apply her flea medication. No matter how many times I asked her a
question, she was very open to teaching us and would send me additional
information via e-mail on whatever topic we were working on that week. I would
highly recommend Leah and wish she was still here in L.A.!
Take care, Wendy & Ginger

Hi Leah, I wanted to thank you for being so wonderful with Sadie, my yellow lab. Your trick
class was amazing. You took your time with my little spaz of a dog. You were so gentle and
kind with her. At the time I took your class Sadie was afraid of strangers and was afraid of the
big warehouse where you taught your class. You sat back and taught me how to teach her
the tricks that I wanted her to learn. You got down on your hand and knees, sat with patience
until she gained your trust. You played ball with her and just became her friend.
I remember you asking me if you could test her for something. Sure I said. You got down on
the floor with a scratch box and her tennis ball. Later you told me how great she would be in
Narcotics Detection. I did not have a clue at the time what that would lead to. Now Sadie is a
"Nationally Certified Narcotics Detection Dog". I have you to thank. I also had the pleasure of
being in the class with you and two of your beautiful dogs, training up North with you. What
an experience...it was so much fun. I really think this has made an amazing difference in her
self esteem... now she is a handful :-)
You even kept me informed about dock jumping, knowing I was interested in that with her.
You told me of my first dock jumping event and now she has been dock jumping for a year.
I have you to thank for so much. You will truly be missed here in So Cal. I would highly
recommend you to anyone who wants to train with you...you’re the best.
Thank you again,

Leah's abilities and personality made learning easy for both me
and my dog. To be a great dog trainer, you not only have to be
good with dogs, you have to be an even better people trainer
and she is that. If you can't make the people understand the
steps, you won't ever be able to achieve the desired results
with the dog. She simplified the steps so that learning complex
behaviors was easy to understand and duplicate. Chip and I
have since worked with another trainer and one thing I noticed
was that Leah was able to keep a group class of 5 dogs working
and motivated all at the same time. Other trainers seem to work
only one dog at a time, while the others sit and wait to learn the
new behavior, and my dog, as well as the others, would get
bored and completely disinterested when it became their turn to
perform. I'm sorry that you won't be around to see the amazing
progress Chip has made. Your techniques were easy for me to
apply to other tricks and behaviors that I wanted him to learn.
He loves to perform and learn anything new, which comes from
enjoying the training in your beginning classes. Thanks for all
your help and best of luck.

Where does one begin to write about the greatest dog trainer in the United States?
Leah not only has an encylopedic knowledge of all things canine, but an uncanny
ability to relate to both dogs and to their owners, and to convey to each how to
relate better to the other. Leah quickly became a friend to everyone in the class,
and was (and is still) always available for questions even after the course was over.
She has a calm, soothing demeanor, while still having the unmistakable air of a true
professional who is at the top of her game. Before enrolling in the course I was
having a difficult time with a crazy young Irish Terrier named Cullen. By the end of
the course Cullen was a new dog - still fun and loving, but now pridefully obedient
and eager to please. I strongly urge anyone and everyone who has a dog to call
Leah and discuss how she can make both the dog's life and the owner's life better.

Before I met Leah I was completely FRUSTRATED with this deaf pit bull puppy that I
found. I wasn't sure on how to train a dog because my Boston terrier was
completely spoiled. I thought I was doomed to be miserable with my new dog, but
then Leah came and worked with us. She taught me how to use hand signals and
facial expressions to communicate with Gigi. She was patient and always available
to answer my questions. The training sessions with Leah gave me the skills and
confidence that I needed to work with my special needs puppy. Now, I love my Gigi
to death. Thanks again for everything! I wish you were going to be here for some
follow up training to get me through her "teenage" years.

Before we completed the training program Shepherd, my Great Pyrenees
puppy, became anxious every time I left home and would not walk properly
on his leash. Now he is able to rest very comfortably in his crate and enjoys
multiple walks throughout the day. Also, I have a better understanding of
the unique temperament and health considerations of this breed. As a new
puppy owner, this has been especially helpful. Several of my friends and
neighbors have commented on how well Shep behaves, and I attribute much
of this to what we have learned during our time with Flint-Hill K-9 Training.

When I and my fiance first decided to take Pepper to a dog trainer, we were very
nervous and scared about leaving "our baby" for training. In the car, we had made
a pact that if we didn't feel comfortable with the trainer we would go. Immediately,
when we met Leah, we both looked at each other and nodded in approval. She
made us feel that Pepper was as important to her as he was to us. In addition to
being a great trainer, she is also a great person. Her thorough explanations and
guidance has made Pepper better than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you so much Leah. Wish you were here!!

Romeo has turned out to be everthing I wanted in a dog and more. Thank
you so much for helping me to find my perfect companion! I'm so glad you
went with me to the Doberman Rescue to guide me to the right dog. I
would have been overwhelmed without your help. You also gave Romeo
and me the perfect foundation to build from in the few private sessions we
had before you left.
I've continued with training by enrolling in a group class. I thought this
would help reinforce what we knew but also put Romeo in a social setting
for practice. We are almost at the end of our 8 week session and the
instructor last week referred to Romeo as the validictorian of the class! I
had to assure the other students that Romeo had the advantage of coming
to the class with prior training. Thanks again!

Dear Leah, Speaking for the pack of girls with the pack of dogs, I just wanted
to write you a note to thank you for everything that you did to help us out with
the three dogs. Life is really so much better for all of us now. I definitely know
they are not perfect, but I also know that the things that are wrong involve us
not being consistent, and not that we have bad dogs. I always have and will
love Roscoe, but he is truly a joy to be around now. I had all three of them
here by myself for a couple of days this week, and they are just so good. We
had a great walk this weekend and it is a joy to just walk with them next to me
without a fight or a struggle. And as for "PLACE" ... that is my favorite
command in the world!!! Thanks so much for teaching us to be good dog
owners. I will continue to recommend you to everyone. If there is anything we
can ever do for you, please just let us know.
Thanks, Jeannie

Leah, Thank you so much for all your patience with us as we muddled through
our training classes with Cody. I am so pleased with the results we have
received with your guidance to help Cody be a good responsive dog. Manners
are important along with her behavior. I think she will be a happier dog with
order in her life and we certainly will be happier owners. It would not have
been so pleasant without your teaching us how to be good dog owners. We
will continue to strive for a happy, well behaved dog! We all three thank you
again. Wishing you well with many more happy dogs that will get to know you.

When we brought Pip home from the pet store it didn’t take long for us to
realize that we had a handful of puppy. We had owned a Jack Russell terrier
before and liked a spunky dog but our new Jack-Rat terrier mix was the ultimate
in hyper activity. I honestly do not want to think of what Pip would be like now if
we had not called Leah for help. After 4 weeks of training, Pip has turned out to
be a wonderful pet and even though she still has plenty of spunk she is very
well behaved and we believe a happier puppy due to Leah’s help. Leah was
patient with Pip and our family as she taught us how to train our new puppy in
the basics from house breaking to loose leash training. Leah demonstrated a
real expertise and rapport when working with Pip that was fun to watch. She
also involved our whole family in each lesson so that each one of us could
benefit and continue working with Pip in the future. Thanks Leah for everything!

Leah, Thank you so much with all your help with my dog Jonah. You have truly
been a lifesaver for us. When I contacted you to help with Jonah he was
running our house. He was jumping on people and pretty much doing
whatever he wanted. You gave me the information I needed to see our
families role in making him into a wonderful member of our family. We now put
in the time and effort that is required of us to give him what he needs so he
will want to behave. You were always willing to listen to whatever my
problem was with him and give me suggestions and ideas to help. I am so
glad I found you. You truly have a special gift. Thank you for sharing it with
us.

Leah, I'm in Leah withdrawal already. I really looked forward to our training
sessions. You were a godsend to us. I think if we hadn't found you, we
would not have been able to keep our Misty girl. I'm going to try really hard
to keep up with the obedience training so that she can be the really sweet
dog she was meant to be. You are so good at what you do and enjoy it, it is
obvious. They say if you make what you love your work, you'll never have to
work again!

Our Golden Retriever Sunshine is seven months old and goes
everywhere that dogs are allowed with us. So many people ask us
who is training our dog that I never leave home without a supply of
Leah’s cards. Sunshine is the latest in a twenty five year succession
of Goldens in our lives, and at less than a year old she is better
behaved than all of the rest were as aged adults. Through one-on-
one training sessions with Leah we have learned that most of the
unacceptable behaviors our other dogs exhibited were more our faults
than theirs. Leah has taught us the correct ways to ask our dog to
do, or not to do, something with effective body language and voice.
We are better companions to both of our dogs because of Leah. My
only regret is that we didn’t have the benefit of her insight with every
one of the dogs we’ve been privileged to love. We consider training
our dog with Leah one of the best investments we’ve ever made and
look forward to many happy years with Sunshine.

Leah, We wish to express our gratitude for the attention you gave our
German Shepherd, Fuzz. He has done very well with the exercises you
prescribed during his puppy training course. When performed in front of his
vet, he stated how impressive that was for a dog his age. He is
progressing in his behavior and is doing good at loose leash walking. We
are looking forward to continuing his training with you. This was a very big
step for us, but you have made it enjoyable and a wonderful learning
experience for all of us.

Dear Leah, I had been extremely frustrated and concerned that I may
have to give up my 6 mo old boxer puppy Gypsy. We had gotten her
immediately after the death of our 4 yr old boxer Maggie who was very
timid. Gypsy was, to put it mildly, a "wild dog"- very physical, stubborn,
strong willed and wanted everything on her terms. I had tried the "normal"
training techniques starting with puppy class etc., but it didn't really seem
to work with her. You were really the only hope that we could come to
terms and all live peacefully in the same house. You helped me to
understand why I was getting nowhere with her and, on the very first day
we met, provided information about changes that we needed to make and
techniques that provided immediate results. Over the last six weeks you
have helped me through the rough times, when she was testing to see if I
would be consistent, and laughed along the way about her crazy antics.
She is going to continue pushing the limits, but you have provided me with
the tools I need to remain calm and be firm. To say thank you just doesn't
seem quite enough! But, THANK YOU on behalf of the Platz family.
