Meet your Dog Trainer
Loreanne Cowan – Head Trainer
This mother of four grown children grew up on a farm in southwest Kansas where the family housed no fewer than three outdoor dogs, seventeen farm cats, one indoor poodle, chickens, goats, and numerous pigs. In short, animals have always been a big part of Loreanne’s life.
Loreanne’s work as a vet tech led her to launch a career as a pet sitter with over sixty clients. It was only a matter of time before she decided to expand on her knowledge of dog behavior by becoming a certified canine behavior specialist through Canine Trade Group, as well as a Dog Bite Prevention Educator through DogNostics Career Center and an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.
Big Friendly Dog Training is dedicated to preventing bad habits and efficiently responding to challenging issues like aggression, anxiety, hyperactivity, and more. We are recommended by veterinarians and committed to result-based training solutions.

LIMA
Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (a.k.a. LIMA) dog training ensures humane practices while working to achieve training objectives.
Real World
Dog training is only effective if it works everywhere. We make sure to test your dog’s training in the real world, around multiple distractions, before graduating them from our program.
Reward-Based
The bond between a dog and its owner is vital when it comes to behavior modification. Your dog must trust you, and what better way to develop that trust than by rewarding your dog for its successes? We use a combination of positive reinforcement and balanced training techniques to achieve your dog training goals.
Puppies
This program is designed to help your new addition learn the ropes. Puppies aged 7 weeks and older will benefit from basic obedience, potty training, leash training, and more while owners learn to set effective boundaries.
Aggressive Dogs
Is your dog displaying aggressive behavior, like growling, lunging, leash reactivity, or freezing? If so, we can help identify your dog’s triggers, put them at ease, and put you back in control of your dog’s behavior.
Separation Anxiety
Big Friendly Dog Training builds your dog’s confidence on multiple levels so they feel safe and secure when left alone. Whether you have a dog or puppy, we’ll help you train your dog to be happy and well-behaved when you are gone.
Oklahoma City Dog Training
Big Friendly Dog Training offers the best dog training in Oklahoma City. We’ve helped dogs when other trainers couldn’t because we know every dog is different and each has it’s own specific needs. Our knowledge of multiple training methods, philosophies, and canine psychology allows us to not only train the dog, but also the dog owner so they continue to see success even when the training is complete.
Turn to us for separation anxiety, aggressive dog training, basic obedience, leash training, reliable recall, socialization, appropriate greeting behavior, puppy training, and more.
What Sets Us Apart?
Private, in-home dog training works faster and more effectively than alternative methods. During the in-home behavior consultation, your trainer will observe your dog’s behavior, find our your training needs, and establish training expectations. Then, they will develop a training program just for you and your dog. Your dog will work on improving behavior in comfortable surroundings.
Private dog training with a knowledgeable, professional Oklahoma City dog trainer is convenient, cost-effective, and the best decision you can make for your dog.
