After almost 20 years working in television, I wanted to spend more time with the most important things in my life - my dogs, Gidget & Collin. In doing so, I discovered my true passion in life and started "No Place Like Home", a Professional Pet Sitting business.

I quickly realized I needed to expand my portfolio and enrolled in ABC to become a trainer. Both my dogs were holy terrors when they were puppies and now I know why. After graduating with honors from ABC, I incorporated Dog Training into my business portfolio.

Having a true understanding of dogs has made my life and business so much more fullfilling.

Profile: Arrow Dog & Puppy Training

I'm Lori Barnabe, founder of Arrow Dog and Puppy Training. I started Arrow for dogs and puppies of all backgrounds, but I have a particular interest in special needs shelter dogs. During my years as a County Animal Control Officer and later a Registered Veterinary Technician for a Municipal Animal Shelter, I saw first hand what led former guardians to turn their dogs over to public agencies. I also learned what kind of treatment could turn a dog’s behavior around and get them a second chance at becoming the lovable companions dogs want to be. My goal is to ensure that each dog who attends class at Arrow becomes a cherished and permanent member of their family, and a source of pride for its guardians.

With that goal in mind, before the actual training sessions begin, I develope an individual program for each student; a program that recognizes and considers a dog’s whole environment; physical, emotional, and spiritual. I like to think of this as a “Whole-istic” approach.

To learn more about this approach to good dog behavior, please contact me for a free in-home consultation.

Home is where the dog is

I offer private sessions. The sessions vary from basic obedience to teaching those with disabilities how to train their dogs to be more "helpful". This is a type of Service Dog Training. I have found that many of my clients get more when they have the undivided attention. The success also seems greater. I will be going into the clients' homes and running these sessions.

Profile: In the last 10 years I have fostered over 25 dogs in order to rehabilitate them with: socialization skills, medical issues, and behavioral problems. I provide private basic & behavioral training; group classes; adoption assistance.

I believe that (all) dogs have the ability to overcome behavioral/training issues as long as their master/owner/guardian has the time and patience to learn what exactly their dog needs/wants from them.
