ABOUT US

Leigh Pyron - Owner

Leigh is a certified professional dog trainer and a graduate of the Marin Humane Society’s Canine Behavior Academy. She uses her experience in the care and training of dogs to customize solutions for dog owners who want their canine companions to live full, happy, and healthy lives. Her philosophy encompasses the physical and mental well-being of dogs and she believes that a well-trained, well-exercised and well-nourished dog will be a balanced and enjoyable companion.

She believes in positive reinforcement dog training. This type of dog training creates lasting results and is an enjoyable process for both the dog and the owner. This method is based on rewarding the dog in positive ways to get the results you want. She not only enjoys working with puppies, adolescent dogs and adult dogs in basic training, but she also enjoys the challenges and rewards of working with a variety of common behavior issues.

In addition, Leigh is certified in Angelic Reiki, a high-vibrational energy healing modality that blends traditional Reiki with the divine energy of the Angelic Kingdom, acting as a conduit for Archangels and Ascended Masters to bring profound healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

She often uses this healing, energy moving process during her behavior and training sessions with owners and their dogs. She has incorporated it many times during a session when a dog appears to be uncomfortable in some way, such as showing signs of reactivity, insecurity or fearfulness, and especially when they are afraid of being around unfamiliar humans. Angelic Reiki assists in helping to put the dogs mind and body at easy allowing them to be more relaxed and present during the behavior and training session.

Leigh is also certified in Egyptian Sekhem Healing, an ancient energy therapy that channels powerful, divine “light energy” (Sekhem means “power”) through the practitioner to bring balance to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies, releasing blockages and promoting deep relaxation. Leigh also incorporates this healing, energy moving modality as needed during a behavior and training session.

Leigh has obtained her attunement and certification in Egyptian Sekhem Healing through Juliet Carrillo Sacred Soulful Journeys. Leigh has also traveled with Juliet to Egypt to complete her studies and training directly through the Ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools teachings, fully immersing herself in the advanced teachings of Sekhem Healing. She visited the many sacred temples and sites of Ancient Egypt.

She is also a practitioner in Animal Communication where she uses intuitive awareness and telepathy to exchange information, feelings, thoughts, and needs with animals. Developing a conscious connection, interpreting and receiving energetic messages, images, feelings, and thoughts from the animal, and relaying human intentions back, furthering mutual understanding. She incorporates these abilities to help clarify communication between the dog and the human, and to address behavioral issues, support animal well-being, and deepen the bond between the human and animal.

Leigh is always working on her skills and abilities to work in harmony with animals. She has additionally trained and studied the properties of Bach Flower Essences and frequently uses them to aid in rebalancing the emotional state of mind in puppies, adolescent and adult dogs. These emotional imbalances can be caused genetically or by a past or present physical and/or psychological trauma. She has seen amazing results when using the Bach Flower Remedies along with behavior and training modification techniques.

She has also participated in an intensive hands-on 5-Day working internship at Eden Mountain Vermont Lodge and Sled Dog Kennel with Sue Sternberg and Leslie Burgard. This workshop included extensive field research observing and studying the body language and interactive behavior amongst 35 working sled dogs, as well as assessing dogs through temperament testing, and learning how to interpret what is healthy play, risky play and dangerous, more aggressive play.

In addition to Leigh’s canine experience, she has also studied and worked with horses. She was herself the proud owner of a beautiful, Arabian horse named “Jessie.” She has studied with Ariana Strozzi, owner of SkyHorse Academy who uses horses to teach intuitive leadership skills and intuitive communication. These are wonderful skills that allow an individual to move and work with the animal intuitively and naturally, which is what positive reinforcement dog training is all about.

Leigh is very passionate about her work and is always concerned about the safety and well-being of your dog. She is licensed and insured and certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. Her professionalism, integrity and reliability will give you the peace of mind in knowing that your dog is safe while in her company.
