Introduction

Hey Dog Parents, I'm Lynsey. And I believe your dog should be part of your active lifestyle. I get it dog moms and dads. You got a dog to be part of your active lifestyle. Whether that means weekends hiking in the woods, sipping craft beer at your local brewery, or a quiet weekend snuggling on the couch, your dog should be your partner in crime. I also know what it's like to be unable to do anything with your dog. It hurts your heart and soul when you cannot share your lifestyle with your pup. It's heartbreaking. But it doesn't need to be that way. I help dog parents achieve their dream dog through dog training to transform any dog into a well-behaved and balanced family member. When you post your job on Thumbtack, if you do not put in any details about your dog and what you need help with, we will not contact you. Give us much detail as possible so that a pro will reach out to help you get started in solving your issues. A quick note on scheduling training: We're currently booking into June 2024 for our Doggy Boot Camp Board & Train Programs. If you need help now, give us a call. Lynsey will come out to your home to get you started in the training process before your pup comes to us to learn!

Lynsey did such an amazing job with my dog Otis! He was very reactive and not a very good listener before his time with Lynsey, and now he is such a gentleman! He has his same goofy personality, but is able to behave himself and listen so well now! She really cares for the dogs in her program and obviously wants the best for them during and after their training. Could not thank Lynsey enough for all of her help with Otis!!

Sunshine K9 Training's reply

Otis sure was a sassy, spunky dude, as many corgis are! Thank you so much for trusting me with his training. He made such an amazing turn around and is another great example of how smaller dogs can be well-behaved just like the big guys!

Marty did a 3 week board and train with Lynsey almost 2 years ago and I cant say enough about the lasting changes we saw in Marty! She helped transform Marty into the well behaved dog he is today. She worked with him (and us) on commands and being able to remain calm and listen in chaos (3 young active kids in our family). Highly recommend Lynsey and Sunshine Training!

Sunshine K9 Training's reply

Oh little Marty! I loved working with your family! Thanks so much for sharing your experience! So many people think that little dogs can't be trained, but he did amazing! I'm ecstatic to hear that nearly 2 years later he's still a well-behaved gentleman. Proud of you for keeping up with the training with such a busy household. You're amazing, Jessica!

My dog, Lucius, is like a new dog after his training program with Lynsey and Sunshine K9 Training. I can take him places, do things with him, and he gets to be apart of the family even outside of the house. Public access was a huge portion of what I wanted out of the program, and I must say; it wasn't cheap, but money very well spent.

Sunshine K9 Training's reply

We love that you're able to take him places! Proud of you for following through with training! :) Thanks for sharing your experience!

Lynsey trained my dog Soot this time last year. When we found Lynsey Soot was destroying everything my mother touched - phones, remote controls, books, you name it he destroyed it to the point that I was going to return Soot to the shelter. Since then Soot is a completely different dog - well behaved (most of the time) not destroying anything. It was definitely worth the investment to have Lynsey train Soot (and us). I highly recommend Lynsey if your dog (and you) needs some new guidance.

Hey Suzanne, thanks so much for sharing your experience! I loved working with you and your crazy boy, Soot. ❤️ If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Lynsey is awesome! Our Aussie had already been trained on an e-collar in another state. After we moved, Charlie was not too interested in listening anymore so we had Lynsey come for a few private sessions and weve also used her for boarding. She uses the e-collar a little differently than our previous trainer. Her way of doing it really smoothed out his rough edges. Now the family is happy againand a whole lot calmer! Highly recommend!!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been working with dogs since I was 16 years old. I've worked for several county animal service units and animal shelters and continue to volunteer to help dogs in our community. I've owned Sunshine K9 Training since March of 2019 and have been helping owners solve serious dog problems ever since. I have shadowed world renowned dog trainers and am forever learning as dogs have so much to teach us. I am an AKC Canine Good Citizen and S.T.A.R. Puppy evaluator. I have also received a certification in the utilization of Herm Sprenger prong collars. While working in the Atlanta area, I went through the licensing process to be able to board & train dogs in my home. We adhere to all state and county permitting processes and welcome questions about our Standard Operating Procedures regarding cleaning, temperatures, emergency situations, and record keeping. For any questions regarding this information, please don't hesitate to ask.
