About Auli Lovoi
Hello, I am Auli Lovoi. I was raised in Arizona where my love for dogs originated as I would train my dogs to jump through hoops in between homeschooling lessons. After graduating Highschool I worked at a dog boarding facility, where my love for working with dogs grew. Without any proper education on dog training, I thought the only way my young, excitable Labrador Retriever would listen and understand me was through shock and prong collars. I was horribly wrong, as this only made me more frustrated and my lab fearful. After years of no progress and more frustration I was able to find fear-free dog training was the only proper way to communicate with my dogs. I went on to earn my certification from Animal Behavior College, in January 2022, where I learned how to lovingly communicate with dogs. I am also dog CPR certification through ABC. The learning has not stopped for, the following year in June of 2023 I earned my Canine Good Citizen Evaluator credentials. I have also completed the dog aggression cases through Agression.com with Michael Shikashio CDBC, and I am now working towards my certification to be a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant. I volunteer my time training residents at the local humane society as well as opening my home to fosters in hopes of preparing them for their perfect furever home. Through every client and every class, I have the opportunity to learn more and become a better dog trainer. I can't wait to learn more about you and your canine companion.
Auli was highly recommended to me by a dedicated animal lover and professional in the field, during an emergency family situation that involved unexpectedly inheriting a dog. To say I was panicked about our canine addition to our family, who came with a traumatic past and some challenging behaviors, is probably putting it lightly, when I first reached out to Auli. To my disbelief, she offered to arrive at our home, for our very first training session, the very next day.
Auli has far exceeded all expectations!!! She’s extremely conscientious and absolutely dedicated to the dogs and families she works with, even to the point of making herself available between sessions via texts to troubleshoot unexpected challenges. In addition to our face-to-face home training sessions, she supplied us with a wealth of information, including educational handouts and internet links. Even though life happens, there’s no way you can forget the material covered in a session because Auli also supplies a weekly checklist of homework activities that enable progress to be made within your family, between sessions. Auli’s approach is non-judgmental with her human clients, as well as, 150% positive and non-intimidating for canine clients. All in all, Auli is highly knowledgeable, extremely compassionate, understanding, accommodating, and a real expert in the field!!
