Common Ground Dog Training - Carmel, NY

Linda is the best! She has worked with two of my dogs, and the results were fantastic. My Simon was a tough one and without Linda's help I would be pulling my hair out. Common Ground has worked with me and my dogs both privately and in Group classes (which are a lot of fun). Having the dogs trained to this level with Linda has made them a real pleasure.

Linda was truly my saving grace. I was a little gun shy about getting another dog. I had a bad experience with a previous dog who had clearly been bred too close, before I got my current puppy. Linda came over, put my new puppy through a series of tests, and put my mind totally at ease. She reassured me my puppy was fine and agreed to work with me in some basic training techniques. I saw progress immediately. Linda has a special talent and a year later, I have a great dog to prove it!! Thanks again.

I have known Linda for over 32 years. I have watched her develop from a person who has always had a deep love and respect for animals and their integrity as living individual beings, to an extremely competent, successfully experienced, totally committed professional . Her devotion to her craft and her abilities are incomparable and time tested . She is honest, sincere, and absolutely a rare combination of skill and performance due to her intelligence, experience, and love of her work. She has boarded, and trained my precious (and hard headed) Golden Retriever "Ranger" on many occasions.
