Lindsey has been Jerry's full-time dog walker since January of 2017, and the only thing I can say is I wish I found her sooner! She has gone above and beyond in caring for Jerry, is responsible and reliable, and clearly has a passion for her work. To give you some background, I initially hired a walker in December of 2016 through a reputable on-line website (background checks, walker reviews, etc.). The walker seemed great when I met her and got along well with Jerry. As time went on, I noticed some changes in his behavior (he was getting into more mischief in the evening time) and he had an accident in his crate (which he had NEVER done before - he's fully house trained). Some days when I arrived at home, Jerry would be crying to go outside to relieve himself, and it became pretty apparent that he wasn't being given the opportunity to do so during his mid-day visits. One morning, a neighbor approached me and asked if I hired a special type of trainer, as she noticed the walker was handling Jerry in a very rough manner and would barely walk him down the street. This news combined with his behavioral changes led me to pursue other options immediately, and I'm glad I did! I found Lindsey through a local search, and learned through some neighbors that she has an excellent reputation as a dog trainer in the neighborhood. After I met her, I was overwhelmed with relief. She has been nothing but great with Jerry, and it's been very comforting knowing that someone who truly cares about him is with him every day. She goes beyond her job description; Lindsey makes herself accessible and provides me with detailed feedback every day so I know how Jerry is doing and what we need to work on together, or if he's acting unusual on a particular day. I like to think I'm a relatively well-informed dog owner, and I did quite a bit of research before adopting Jerry. It was relieving to know that Lindsey uses positive reinforcement training, which is now widely known to be the most effective and humane training methodology for canines. Through speaking to Lindsey, I'm confident all of her staff members follow her training ideology and provide the same level of professionalism that she does. On top of noticeable improvements in his general behavior (he is usually passed out when I come home, so I know he was well exercised!), I've gotten excellent feedback from neighbors that have seen Lindsey working with Jerry. Lindsey engages Jerry during the walk by talking to him and giving him her full attention; it is not strictly a "chore" to her as it is for many others. Whether you are looking for effective training, a reliable walker, or a place to board your pup (yes, she offers this too!), there is no one I would recommend more highly than Lindsey. You will not find a more caring, professional, and reliable person. Thank you Lindsey! -Ben & Jerry read more

I've been a client with Lindsey for a while now, and I must say her recent "victim" attitude, poor judge of character, and her inability to communicate with her clients is extremely sickening. I have been trying to schedule an appointment for a walk for a while now, my dog used to go to her daycare but she is no longer offering that service. After a week of trying I reached out and said that if she's going to continue to ignore me I will be going to a different company, a week later she responds with a rant about how people need to be more patient, we are still in the middle of a pandemic and a lot of people don't want to work, that all companies are having the same problem, and if I was to go to a different company She doubts they would be taking on new clients. She then complained about her current employees not stepping up to help out, she informed me that she is now doing the walks herself which she didn't have to do for years because she had employees to do that for her, she has been dealing with a migraine and stomach issues for weeks, she also has a lot of personal stuff going on and some days cannot find the motivation to keep going. Excuse me, but the last time I checked I was a client not your therapist, not your friend, not your mother. You look extremely unprofessional when you complain about your personal life to your clients. It also says a lot about the kind of boss, and person, you are when you comment on your employees work ethic; these are the people that we are allowing into OUR houses to take care of OUR pets, and you're telling us all of their bad qualities? You look absolutely ridiculous, extremely unprofessional, and no one is going to give you sympathy. Grow up and do your damn job! read more

My family and I just moved to the area and I was looking for pet care services when I came across this posting. I'm honestly glad I did because when I asked my neighbors who they recommended they said "Lindsey". But after reading these reviews, and doing my own research I have come to find that not using her is probably the best decision I ever made. One review on here said that she only posts five star reviews, and I've come to the conclusion that that's correct. On here all of the bad reviews are all hidden, and the good reviews she does have are all a couple years old. I then found her website and her social media, on her Facebook page all she has is five star reviews, and the most recent one is from 2018. On her website again it's nothing but five star reviews and it's all from the same five or six people. I also had the misfortune of dealing with her office manager, according to her Facebook the girls name is Nina. Nina only works 3 days a week, and apparently is in charge of office work, walking, and training... So how exactly is she supposed to deal with new clients? When she finally did answer the phone, after 4 days of attempts, she was extremely rude and short when answering my questions. This did not make me feel comfortable at all about having these people in my house, around my family, and especially our pets. Again I have not used her services, but after these reviews and the experience I have dealing with her office manager I will not be using them ever. read more

I broke my ankle last April and my biggest problem (besides of course the ankle) was what to do about walking my two dogs (11 years old and 3 years old). Enter Lindsey to the rescue! Lindsey was new to the area, but based on the wonderful references from her clients in Florida I decided to place the care of my pups in her hands. 3 times a day for 4 months, Lindsey showed up at my house without fail! Texting me when on her way and texting me afterward to let me know how "successful" the walk was. After a couple of weeks I was able to go back to work, so Lindsey had total access to my house. She is responsible, trustworthy, personable, reliable and loves everything dog! Now that I am mobile, Lindsey is still my go-to person for helping me out with the sporadic walk or for a couple of days out of town. My dogs took to her immediately as did I. So will you. read more

I have known Lindsey for about 8 years. I met her at PetSmart in Pensacola, FL, before she started her own business. I have been to many training classes that she taught and have been impressed with each one. It is clear that she has a passion for this work and it shows in her love of the dogs! After my pup, Jack, was attacked at the store, he developed lots of fear and some aggression. With two children at home, it was imperative that we get Jack feeling safe and confident! Lindsey was wonderful and patient through Jack's hardheadedness! She helped me guide my scared puppy into a confident, loving companion. And now 8 years later...I swear, Jack is the best dog! I have several friends that have also used Lindsey and I have never heard a negative thing about her. Lindsey comes highly recommended! read more

We met Lindsey through a friend here in Pensacola, Fl. We were more than satisfied with her services...we were blown away! She was always flexible with appointments, very knowledgeable, willing to answer questions any time, and most of all, truly exuded a passion and love for what she does. At the time we had two very poorly trained dogs and with her gentle encouragement, we saw great improvement! Any lack of success with our dogs was solely on our part (it's harder for us humans to learn than it is the animals). We were very sad to see her go, but we are so glad that she is happily back in business there in NY. She's a great support even from many miles away :) Don't hesitate to book services from Lindsey, I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

I'm so happy that I was referred to Lindsey after I brought home my new golden retriever puppy Hunter a year ago. Lindsey has helped tremendously with training Hunter so that he is a well behaved addition to our family... She has helped him develop an understanding of commands, listening, proper walking etc... Lindsey has saved me when I can't find enough time to walk him and is always ready , willing and able to help! She is constantly juggling her schedule to fit us in when we ask which is usually at the last minute! She is trustworthy, reliable and has full access to our home. Your family and dogs will truly benefit from her many years of experience with dogs and loving kindness towards them! read more

We recently moved house and have been working with Lindsey and her team for about a month. We have three rambunctious Brittany Spaniels and Lindsey has been providing dog walking services for us during the day. Lindsey and her team are kind, reliable, professional and consistent. Lindsey's background as a dog trainer is also very helpful, as one of our boys is still adjusting to the move and she has been helping us ground him. Lindsey is also training our youngest pup to not pull on the leash. We are delighted to be working with Lindsey's Dog Training and Walking Services and recommend her as an asset and a great addition to any doggy families. read more

I'm updating my review because the dog I first wrote about has passed away. We adopted another dog a few months later, a 5 month old Thai street dog. Lindsey came asap and has worked with us for the past 2 months. It was terrific to see her train a puppy rather than teaching an older dog. She is an amazing trainer. She's patient and confident, and my dog loved her immediately. Lindsey makes the training sessions fun and we look forward to our appointments with her. She's dedicated to her work and it shows. I have recommended her to many of my friends and they all feel as confident in her as I do. After one consultation, they have hired her. read more

This is my ever first Yelp review! I can't say enough about the service at Linsey's Dog Training & Walking Services! Lindsey and her staff are extremely professional and reliable. They've responded immediately to any request or last minute "emergency" I've had whether it be that I'm running home late due to a work obligation or just a general question on how I should get my puppy to relax when I leave for work. I trusted her right away and knew I made the right choice. I highly recommend Lindsey's Dig Training &Walking Servies to everyone who has a busy schedule and wants their furry friend cared for by people who truly love them. read more

Lindsey is "as good as it gets" and more!!!!! Lindsey trained my 100 lb GSD, Cesar. Cesar loves Lindsey and would be waiting at the door for her each week. Lindsey also worked with my JRT on the "bolting out the front door" issue. I love to watch Lindsey work with animals, they respond to naturally to her. I also had the pleasure of working with Lindsey at PetSmart years ago. There I would get to watch her different classes and how dogs of all breeds were putty in her hands. I have watch her take the most troubled dog and turn him into a perfect partner. Lindsey is truly the best out there. You will not be disappointed. read more

I wish YELP had a 100 Star rating! Lindsey and her crew have been taking care of my dogs for the past 4 years! I am also lucky enough to have Lindsey and her husband has neighbors! Lindsey, and all of her employees, ALWAYS go above and beyond for me and my dogs!!! Lindsey even dropped everything and sat with me the day I had to put my 12 year old dog down! I can't say enough positive things about the level of professionalism and dedication to the well being and happiness my dogs, and I, have received from Lindsey's Dog Training & Walking Service! read more

Lindsey was an absolute life saver for me and Fuzzy (a very kind old gent who knew Lindsey in his twilight years). I definitely would not have left the old guy with just anyone but she came so highly recommended by my neighbor that I had to see who this dog whisperer was! Lindsey is so patient, kind and loving with animals (both with dogs AND cats) that I can only sing her praises. She handled my very Sr. dog so well that I only looked forward to times she would walk and feed him! She's the best! read more

Lindsey came highly recommended for training. She quickly figured out the root cause of our dogs issues and had them under control almost immediately. Since then we've hired Lindsey as a dog walker 5 days per week and could not be happier. (That's our Great Dane Charlie in the photos with Lindsey). Lindsey shows just as much love and attention to our dog as we do and Charlie loves her for it. read more

The BEST dog walking and training service I've ever had. Completely changed my dog into an obedient sweet boy who still loves to have fun but am no longer concerned about his safety. All their dog walkers are excellent and trained exceptionally well to handle any and all dogs. I can not recommend this company enough. They are truly the best dog training and walking company out there. read more
