Lorenzo's Dog Training Team was founded in 1987. In that time we have trained thousands of dogs and trainers across the country. Our team of educated and experienced trainers have worked with all breeds of dogs and all kinds of clients. Our specialty is communication between owners and their dogs. Developing that communication is a special and rewarding process.
For decades, Lorenzo's Dog Training Team has been located in the quiet suburb of Garfield Heights, Ohio. Our 3,200 square-foot indoor training and boarding facility includes a quarter acre of outdoor training space along with indoor heated and air-conditioned runs. Our pet friendly facility uses a specialized air filtration system that has been designed for our dog's needs. Every aspect of our facility was created with your pet's well being in mind. We pride ourselves on the quality of our facilities and staff.
Over the past twenty years, our client base has grown dramatically. As a result, our team has seen extraordinary growth as well. Lorenzo's Dog Training Team is now placing trainers all over the country by recruiting, boarding, and training qualifying candidates.
We also offer many services including behavior modification, puppy training, obedience training, boarding, consultation, group classes and specialty training like security, protection, scent detection, and many other useful skills. We also sell trained puppies as well.

Our Process
Evaluate
We begin our training programs with a personal evaluation. We perform a one on one evaluation of your pet's needs. We use the opportunity to hear your story and carefully observe your dog's behavior. It is particularly important for our trainer to observe your dog's interaction with you and other family members. A proper evaluation is a critical first step to achieving serious results.
Unlike pet store training, we do not offer group classes prior to our basic obedience courses. Our custom tailored coursework will address the issues identified during the personal evaluation. During the recommended training program sessions, you and your dog will learn new ways to interact with each other. The result is a mutually rewarding and effective relationship between owner and pet.
Educate
Dogs are not always fully responsible for their undesirable behavior. Often times owners unknowingly use improper techniques that ends up creating unnecessary stress. We educate dog owners during the training process so they can address their own behavior and modify their actions to correct the situation.
Communicate
Successful dog training programs require effective and consistent communication. Dog owners are taught to communicate to their dogs which behaviors are desirable and which ones are incorrect. Dogs are pack animals and are highly social, so they respond well to classic conditioning.
Desired behaviors are reinforced through positive influence and physical praise. Incorrect behaviors are not ignored, which teaches dogs to try other behaviors to elicit praise.
Patience is crucial for successful training. We teach owners the importance of communicating patiently with their dogs. We also teach owners how to understand and interpret their dog's communication.
Dogs that are stressed, overly excited, nervous, or fearful may not properly respond to training. If dog owners are unable to recognize these emotions in their dogs, they may become frustrated or impatient, which only complicates the training process.
We recommend beginning training with your puppy as soon as eight weeks of age. And we also offer training for any and all types of dogs, we can handle any special case or condition specific to your dog. There is always time for your dog to learn training principles as well as human social skills.
