At For Keeps Pet Training, Andrea Loomis offers more than just training—she provides understanding, support, and solutions for pet owners facing behavioral challenges. She knows that fear, anxiety, and unwanted behaviors often can’t be fully addressed in routine vet visits or group classes, and that struggling pet owners can feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and alone.
Andrea’s mission is to change that.
Whether you're laying the groundwork with basic life skills, navigating complex behavior issues, preparing for cooperative veterinary care, or improving your pet’s handling and husbandry, Andrea brings the expertise and empathy to help you succeed. She tailors each plan to meet the unique needs of both pet and owner, always offering clear guidance, compassion, and a judgment-free space to voice concerns.
Andrea recognizes how behavior struggles can strain relationships, finances, and the vital bond between people and their pets. That’s why she leads with kindness, respects your privacy, and stands beside you as both a coach and advocate—so you and your pet can thrive together.

What Is Positive Reinforcement Dog Training?
Positive Reinforcement training is a science-based, humane approach that focuses on rewarding the behaviors we want to see more of—instead of punishing the ones we don’t. It’s built on the simple principle that behaviors followed by positive outcomes are more likely to be repeated.
At For Keeps Pet Training, we use Positive Reinforcement methods to help your dog learn in a way that’s both effective and enjoyable. Whether it’s a treat, praise, toys, or play, we find what motivates your dog and use that to build trust, confidence, and lasting behavior change.
