Who We Are
Cool Dog Training, Inc. was founded in 2001. We pride ourselves on being professional trainers and are members of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers where an on-going education is essential to success.

Lynne
Dog trainer and behaviorist, Lynne Sorrentino is the instructor for classes and holds private sessions for special needs, such as aggression. Her role as an educator is aimed at helping people understand their pets and teaching how to get a calm, well mannered dog. Cool Dog Training was founded in 2001 and focuses on working with families and their dogs bringing them together for better lives. As with many good dog trainers, they learn from other good dog trainers... and Lynne has studied under some of the best: notably Patricia McConnell, PhD, Dr. Ian Dunbar, Trish King, Donna Duford, Karen Pryor and John Rogerson. As an active member of Association of Pet Dog Trainers, her education is a continuing commitment. She lives in Temecula, California, with her Vizsla, Deogi and her Doberman Pincher, Stella.

Rachel
Rachel Petricka oversees our Day Care Services where her superb skills in reading a dog's body language and play signals makes playtime safe and fun for your dog. Rachel has been with Cool Dog Training, Inc. for two years. Her broad experience with dogs includes raising four puppies for Canine Support Teams, an organization which trains service dogs for people with disabilities. She raised each puppy until it was one and a half years old, taking them out in public and teaching them basic obedience. These dogs are now assisting their disabled owners reliably. In her spare time, Rachel has a pet-sitting and dog-walking business, Rachel's Pet Services. She takes care of pets at their own homes as well as welcoming them into her home while their owners are away. She is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, and is studying to become a puppy trainer. Rachel has two dogs - Molly, a Chocolate Lab and Sadie, a Golden Retriever.
