Dog training is more than teaching commands. It is about understanding your dog, helping your dog understand you, and building the skills and confidence to navigate everyday life together.
Direction for Dogs helps you find your way through puppyhood, behavior challenges, everyday manners, and beyond with personalized training designed for real life.
Hi, I’m Lori.
I am a Certified Dog Trainer, Pet Grief Specialist, and the owner of Direction for Dogs. I truly care about the dogs and people I work with, and I take the time to understand what is going on so you can receive the best guidance that works for both you and your dog.
I want to help you build a stronger connection, communicate better, and thrive together. I am also very proud to be an American Kennel Club Approved Evaluator and the 2026 Main Line Today's BEST DOG TRAINER.
Let's Work Together!
