Meet Your Trainer

Lea Taylor, KPA, CTP

After obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree from Kent State University with a major in Zoology and a minor in Psychology, Lea turned her attention to care and development of family pets.  She has been training since 2018 and became certified in training when completing her KPA-CTP in 2019.  She is fascinated by behavior and is passionate about training for behavior modification through positive methods.  She strives to provide training which is effective, but also enjoyable for dogs and their handlers.

There are only a handful of people in the world that need no words to communicate with animals. Lea is one of them. Our beagle needs a challenge and Lea offers her one in a locing supporting enviroment. Woodsy leaves Oak Heart, happy, tired and trained. She loves Lea and we do too.
