We are groupies in Stephanie Lubianski's dog training classes where we have had great fun training our Great Pyrenees Rescue dog.  We keep taking more classes with her, not because our dog is a failure, but because it has been so great for Milo.  He loves it.  When we adopted Milo, he was about 1.5 years old.  It was pretty obvious that Milo had not experienced much socialization in his life.  He was afraid of nearly everyone except my husband and I. And Stephanie.  He loved her from the first day he met her.  Stephanie guided us through so many experiences and with her help, Milo has blossomed into a wonderful, smart, obedient, confident, playful, and loving dog.  Her classes are creative and fun for all.  We highly recommend Stephanie as a great trainer for your dog.

We have been pet owners for most of our lives and have been to several dog trainers over the years. 

 

Stephanie has incorporated her experience as a larger animal trainer and has transferred that knowledge to domesticated pets.  She is empathetic and truly cares about the success of training and the relationship between you and your dog.   She goes above and beyond the norm and we highly recommend Stephanie and her positive training techniques.

I have been a certified, positive reinforcement (P+) trainer in Bellville for a very long time. When I decided to retire, I was worried that the people who wanted and needed dog training would have to resort to shock collar board and train places or no training at all. Then I met Stephanie Lubianski! Another P+ trainer here in Bellville?!! Fantastic!!

​

Stephanie’s background in zoo animal training and her vast personal menagerie have give her tremendous insight as to how animals behave and think. Her bonds with her own animals and her clients’ animals are amazing. She is patient, caring and able to teach her clients how to bond with their dogs to allow better relationships and more desirable behavior from both the human and pet side of the equation. I have learned so much from her, that I am now back training again under Stephanie’s direction.

 

Training has come a long way from the leash jerks, prong collar and choke collar days. Stephanie stays well informed on the new positive reinforcement techniques by attending webinars and conferences and talking to other P+ trainers. She has fabulous ideas on how to provide enrichment for dogs (and other animals as well). She shows people how to provide mental and physical activities that provide pets with well-rounded, happy lives. One of her favorite sayings is “A tired dog is a happy dog”.

I hope Stephanie and A Better Way Training is here for a very long time!
