My name is Lauren Flanagan. I train in Northern Virginia. I recently made a dog training video. I have always loved animals and am so blessed to train, walk, and take care of them every day!

My name is April and I am the owner and operator of Core Canine. I obtained my dog training certification through Animal Behavior College. My love of dogs brought me to volunteer with rescues and shelters. I realized, through these volunteer efforts, that behavior is the #1 reason owners surrender their dogs. I decided the best way to prevent dogs from being surrendered was to become a trainer myself. I work with dogs on fundamental obedience and behavior issues, helping them to be better members of their families. I’ve worked with dogs from shelters & rescues and with purebred dogs from breeders. I am passionate about dog training and believe that every dog deserves to reach their full potential. My goal is to work with you and your dog, every step of the way, to find the best possible solutions in creating a solid relationship between you both.

I am a certified dog trainer & honor graduate of Animal Behavior College. I’ve been around dogs since I was small, often trying to slip strays home. At present, I have a Siberian Husky & a Boxer. Training my own dogs, working with experienced mentors, & volunteering at the local animal shelter has given me plenty of valuable experience. Upon completion of the excellent studies offered by Animal Behavior College I was excited to have graduated with honors & become part of their alumni. Now fortunate to be able to offer one-on-one private training in dog obedience and problem-solving, my goal is to help build strong bonds of mutual love & respect between owners and dogs, & of course to get you going on the right paw!
