Our trainer
Lyndsey Morgan, ABCDT
Certified dog trainer, founder of Obedient BLUE, and the reason a farm in Upperco fills with happy dogs every weekday morning.
As far back as I can remember, there have always been dogs in my life. At one point we had five of them, and I spent every spare minute with them. Their love and affection always gave me a sense of security. They were my therapy.
As I got older, I took on more of the handling, and training quickly became my thing. As much as I loved our dogs, the unruly behavior had to go. At 16 I got my first kennel job at Grandma's House for Pets, where I learned about dog care, dog behavior and working with dogs in group settings.
Then came Chance, our rescue hound mix: big, lovable, goofy, and the reason I took my first group obedience class. We learned so much together that he became my high school senior project on dog training in 2001.
In 2007 I graduated from Animal Behavior College as a certified dog trainer, and around the same time I became a first-time dog mom to an English yellow Lab named Blue. He was my Bluie, my Blueberry, and so much more. In his honor, I started Obedient BLUE, School for Dogs. Blue crossed the rainbow bridge in July 2022, but his memory lives on in everything we do here.
In Blue's honor, I will forever keep training dogs: helping them live their best lives, and keeping them in loving homes and out of shelters.
Our philosophy
Every dog is unique in the way they learn. We aim to make training fun, not fearful, while teaching all levels of obedience and behavior modification. Strong communication is the foundation of a strong relationship between you and your dog.
In memory of BLUE and CHANCE.
What people say
“My wife and I rescued our dog, Scooby, last May and around June we met Lyndsey at a "Pup and Play." I was immediately drawn to how much passion she had for training dogs. It was an easy decision after conversations with Lyndsey to train with her. Scooby's progress has been incredible.”
“As soon as we pull onto the drive he starts whining. Then he jumps out of the car, runs to the door and runs in to pick his crate. And he has certain crates that he likes! He has been going since a little puppy, and his confidence has grown so much.”
“I couldn't be happier with the dog training experience! Lyndsey was knowledgeable, patient, and truly cared about helping both me and my dog succeed. The techniques were easy to follow, and I saw a noticeable improvement in my dog's behavior.”
“I've worked with Lyndsey for 2 years, turning our high energy German Shepherd pup Whiskey into an amazing companion. I'm most grateful for the remote trainer lessons so I can take my boy on amazing hikes off-lead. Whiskey turns himself inside out with excitement when we make the turn into her facility.”
“From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. She takes the time to really understand each dog's unique personality and needs, tailoring her approach to bring out the best in them.”
“She listened to our problems, understood our budget constraints and scheduled an assessment so she could give us options. She taught us how to work with our dog and build on the training we had already done.”
