  • “Bridget and Life unleashed have absolutely changed our lives!"

    I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog trainer! Even if you live thousands of miles away from them! Best decision I have ever made for myself and my dogs!

  • “I really can’t praise Bridget enough.”

    She is an extraordinary trainer, in addition to being a kind, generous and caring person. She has so much knowledge, and an incredible rapport with dogs. Her work uses a balanced, practical approach, and she tailors what she teaches to the individuality of the dog and the issues at hand, as well as the people involved. We are so grateful to have met her.

  • "We decided to do training sessions where Bridget came to our house once a week and trained Oakley, as well as TRAINED US! "

    I cannot be more pleased, and because of this, we lead an active lifestyle where our dogs are welcome to travel and play and socialize with others very well! We are grateful to have this transition by experience with Bridget!!

  • "It has been the best money I have spent! You will not regret the money spent & time committed when working with Life Unleashed."

    I would like to HIGHLY recommend Shelby & Bridget with Life Unleashed. Both Shelby & Bridget are accessible and awesome communicators. Not only did they focus on Billie herself, but they really work with you as the owner to succeed as well. They work with you and your lifestyle to best reach your goals as the owner and I couldn't be happier with how it has turned out!

  • "I highly recommend Shelby and Life Unleashed!"

    We met Shelby 3 years ago when we adopted our very reactive guy, Filé. Shelby is fantastic! She worked with him (and us!) to correct his resource guarding, teach basic commands like come, place, and more. She’s been available to answer any and all of our questions over the years and has worked with us on refresher courses as well. Filé has boarded with Shelby on several occasions and always comes home happy, fulfilled, and a little more polished in his obedience.

  • "I cannot say enough great things about Life Unleashed New Orleans!!"

    Bridget was a god send to our home and our fur baby King. We started with at home visit trainings and both decided our guy needed a little extra help so we opted for the train and board and it was the best decision we made! Bridget was so knowledgeable and patient with both me and our dog not only did she train him but she taught me the skills to further keep him on track and continue to have an amazing time with each other. It has really been a huge game changer ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Life unleashed you definitely will not be disappointed!
