29 five-star Google reviews and counting — here are a few, in their own words.
“She was always on time and jumped right into what we needed. She was wonderful to our whole family… even after we finished private sessions, she still checks in on us!”
— Holly A.“My dog was so aggressive towards strangers she was difficult to work with safely. Lynne cracked the secret to calming her aggression. You can stop reading and just call Lynne — she's well worth every penny.”
— Heather“We received Gunner at 4 months old, and after a couple of incidents we perceived as aggression toward other dogs, I was heartbroken and ready to send him back to the breeder. Lynne came to our house and immediately showed us Gunner was not an aggressive dog at all — she explained why he was acting this way and what we needed to do. Gunner has since earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate and now loves playing with children, dogs, and adults alike. If not for Lynne I would not have my wonderful friend and companion Gunner.”
— Mike and Debbie O'Keefe“I am so happy that I found Lynne when I first got my Fila Brasileiro puppy Lily. Filas are a very large and unique breed that can be a lot for many people to handle. Lynne's approach is the perfect balance of a gentle hand with firm boundaries, and she tailors techniques to suit each individual dog and handler. People are amazed when they see how well my 145-pound dog behaves. I always tell them she did not come this way — I was fortunate to find a great trainer!”
— Mike“We were gifted with a 5-month Brittany spaniel that was so wild and free spirited we were beside ourselves. Thanks to Lynne, her love of dogs, her patience, and her understanding of our dog's personality, we have an excellent foundation to work with. We had instant results, saw a big difference just after the first two classes! Thank you Lynne for helping Dixie and us!”
— Doug and Jeanette Moore“Stormy Lee was adopted from the shelter and was VERY skittish — she had failed her first Canine Good Citizen test because of shying away from the evaluator. With Lynne's help and a few sessions, she passed her CGC test with flying colors and is becoming more social every day. Lynne works wonders with shy dogs!”
— Raymond and Kathy Smith“We adopted a 4-year-old Airedale that was reactive and lunged at anyone or any animal that walked by our house. Thanks to Lynne, our dog has settled down, walks way better on a leash, and even has a couple of cat friends. We recommend Lynne to anyone who might have an issue, large or small.”
— Vicki Feldt“Lynne has been amazing training my German Shepherd, and she gives 110 percent every single time.”
— Heather“Lynne is amazing with dogs! I have learned so many skills from her. If there is something I want to teach my dog, she gives me pointers and tips to make it happen. She comes up with new things to challenge him at every lesson and I can tell he enjoys his training classes. I have the well-behaved dog I always wanted and I'm comfortable taking him into most any situation. She really can make good dogs better.”
— Linda Morgan“Patience, knowledge and her incredible ability to communicate with the handler and dog is amazing. We were gifted with a 6 month old, unsocialized Brittany spaniel. Oh boy! Our wild heathen pup became an incredible dog, thanks to Lynne. There was not an exact one-size-fits-all method.”
— Jeanette Smith“Even in a group class setting, she individualized our training for what each dog needed. She would create a plan specialized for the dog. She was always available to help with any problems, staying after class to try new techniques, offer advice, troubleshoot any problems. Lynne really cared about me and my dog.”
— Karen Kolesar“Lynne is a highly skilled and experienced trainer with two of the most difficult-to-obtain certifications and decades of experience.”
— Sarina Samson“Very professional, and really knows what she is doing! Great with dogs!”
— Mindy Record“We started out with online lessons only, since I was very nervous to have my pup around other pups or people at first. After a few lessons, my dog and I gained enough confidence and obedience to feel great about being around others at in-person training sessions. I would highly recommend giving online obedience sessions a try — they let my dog and me build up our skill levels in our own comfortable, low-stress home environment.”
— Laura Chynoweth“Lynne is hands down the best and most qualified dog trainer in the Uintah Basin. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she's also one of the kindest and sweetest people I've ever met! Every single time, there's a night and day difference in the dogs she works with. You can see the confidence and calm she brings out in them. I cannot recommend her enough!”
— Lindsy Jolley“Great trainer! Has helped my dog become more confident and much better behaved in general. Great at pushing dogs out of their comfort zone to try new things without pushing them too far. The field trips out in public have been great for my German shepherd!”
— Melanie Thul“After a horrible outing with my dog (jumping, pulling, and even losing a shoe), I sought out Lynne. I worked with her through private lessons and attended some group sessions for socialization. A year later I returned to the place where my journey began, the vet checkup, and I can't even begin to state what a difference this training meant for my relationship with my dog. Is my dog perfect? No. But I do have the tools to work through trying situations and he is much more manageable.”
— Michelle Bain“I'm so grateful to be able to train with Lynne! There's nothing that me or my dogs look forward to most in a week than our group classes. She's seriously helped me understand my dog and my own way of communicating so much more. I get to meet the coolest people and do the things that most people overlook with their dogs — dog-friendly stores, walks down Main Street, demonstrations at the Lapoint Corn Maze, all behaved. And if I need anything, Lynne has her Trainer in Your Pocket program and I can ask questions and send a video any time!”
— MacKenzy Studios“I got my first dog last year, the cutest little husky, and she was so stubborn and an absolute terrorizer. I called Lynne and a year later she is the best and sweetest dog I could've asked for. She didn't just come in and train my dog and give her to me — she trained me how to train my dog, so when she wasn't around I still knew what to do. She is always available to message if you have any new problems or just questions about training.”
— Brendon Hicken“Lynn has been amazing with helping my super nervous dog calm down and relax around people. She's understanding and takes time to work with you as well as your dog, and sees all her customers as individuals, not just a job. I appreciate my friendship with Lynn and my dog who doesn't run from my family and friends anymore.”
— Kade Smith“We were at our wits end with our bloodhound — guarding his food and bed, problems with our kids, just unpredictable. Then we found Lynn! We were able to use her Trainer in Your Pocket system so she could really see his behaviors and help us understand his triggers. Lynn was like a translator between us and our dog when we weren't speaking the same language. She really knows how to bring out the best in a dog.”
— Samantha Pike“Lynne was amazing help with our 1 year old pup! She went from chewing up everything and being so naughty to a well behaved loveable dog in just 6 sessions! We were so impressed with Lynne's work, communication, and dedication!”
— Jacklyn Beers“I think the best part of having Lynn as a trainer is that she cares about the dog and is willing to look for new solutions if something isn't working. We finished all of our sessions and I can't wait to get more!”
— AnnDee Tracy“Lynne helped me so much with my dogs that didn't always get along. The virtual classes were amazing! We did two in-person classes to help with the progress. I thought I might have to remove one of my dogs — so thankful for finding an amazing trainer!”
— Mary S.“I have personally seen you take what seems like an uncontrollable puppy to an adult dog, and 20 minutes later it's like watching a professional dog show! Outstanding work. You almost have a psychic bond with every dog you come across! The people get trained too by one heck of a trainer!”
— Kristen Oldham“I did an online consultation with Lynne via Messenger. She listened to my concerns — cared about my personal frustrations as well as caring for the needs of my dog. She gave me some practical advice, and I would 100% recommend Lynne for your dog training needs.”
— Marsha Petitt“Lynn is absolutely AMAZING! She helped us with our 3 month old puppy. Working with her twice a month for 5 months, we've been so impressed with Lynn. She has given us the foundation to continue to train our puppy. We loved her and so did our sweet pup!”
— Jessica Thompson“We got a dog from the Roosevelt shelter that was absolutely terrified of all human beings. After nearly a year of frustration with no progress, the shelter recommended Blazing Trails. Lynne was able to do a video consult, and just through the phone she saw everything about his personality. After following her advice, we had him walking with us on a leash in less than 2 hours. His personality has changed drastically — all from one video call.”
— Brent Brighton“Lynn is amazing at understanding canine behavior! She is kind and professional. She truly loves her clients, you see it in how she handles them. She helped us learn how to instill confidence in our one pup, and helped us effectively teach our other pup manners. If you have a dog that is struggling with behaviors, definitely reach out to her!”
— Leandra Dalton“We found the amazing Lynne after our German Shepherd puppy started showing aggressive behavior toward people. With Lynne's guidance and support throughout the years, we have an amazing dog who has eased my anxiety and helped me feel safe again. She also helped us through a video call session when introducing our dog to a new rescue puppy while we no longer lived in the same state — one video session and everything was worked out! I wouldn't trust anyone else with training my dogs.”
