Behavior Relief

Support for dogs with fear, aggression, anxiety and other behavior issues

I get it. Sharing your life (and heart) with a fearful, anxious and/or reactive dog with big feelings about some aspect of life is not only stressful for your dog, it is stressful for you too…and your relationship. I have lived it with my maltipoo, Dawson. Anti-anxiety medications have been a part of my dog’s since he was young. There have been lots of challenges. It has been a huge energy drainer (for both of us). My past has included many tears and many more questions. But our experience together has taught me so very much as my dog’s caregiver, his companion, and his teacher. Having Dawson in my life has given me a much deeper sense of understanding and empathy for dog parents living with a fearful, anxious or reactive dog.

Today, Dawson is living a very fulfilled life. That gives me so much joy.

Know this. Whether your dog experiences aggression, anxiety, fear, or other behavioral issues, there is hope. I’d like to help you see that.

Behavior relief is about so much more than dog training.

In coaching and collaborating with you as your dog’s caregiver, trainer and friend; we will look at the whole picture. Learning experience. Environment. Genetics. Your dog’s unique self.

Every dog and every relationship is unique. And so is the behavior modification plan for how to support you and your beloved pet. However, with every dog and every relationship, my goal is to support positive change (and quality of life) in the kindest, most humane way.

Testimonials

I had tried different ways to train Augie, but it was not until Lisa walked through our door that our problems were solved.

(dog training for aggressive behaviors) I’m so grateful for Lisa. Our toy poodle, Augie, was very anxious and acting out in aggression. I had tried different ways to train Augie, but it was not until Lisa walked through our door that our problems were solved. Lisa took the time to listen and ask questions about… Read more “I had tried different ways to train Augie, but it was not until Lisa walked through our door that our problems were solved.”

I highly recommend Lisa as a patient, skilled trainer and dog behavior expert.

(puppy training) We adopted Auggie our 8-week-old Aussiedoodle in March, 2021. We were big fans of positive reinforcement training and Lisa was exactly the type of trainer were seeking. At first Auggie was shy and wouldn’t even let Lisa get close enough to walk her. Lisa helped train and provide the skills to my wife… Read more “I highly recommend Lisa as a patient, skilled trainer and dog behavior expert.”

We are on the right path now thanks to Lisa’s amazing guidance and support throughout the training process.

(dog training for fearful and anxious dog) After having a very traumatic experience at our first basic obedience class with another trainer, our vet recommended calling Lisa for our very anxious and fearful one year old cockapoo, Wesley. I am so glad I did! After my first phone call with Lisa, I went from feeling… Read more “We are on the right path now thanks to Lisa’s amazing guidance and support throughout the training process.”

Now our dog will actually solicit attention from the kinds of people she used to growl at, because of Lisa’s help.

(dog training for aggressive behaviors) I reached out to Lisa when my cockapoo Ginger began growling, lunging and snapping at kids, men (and other unknown people) and other dogs. At that time taking her on walks was very difficult. Taking her out in the community was even more difficult. Lisa’s force-free techniques boosted our confidence… Read more “Now our dog will actually solicit attention from the kinds of people she used to growl at, because of Lisa’s help.”

To say that Lisa is a dog trainer may not do justice to her talent, she is more of a pet and pet family psychologist.

(adolescent dog training for older adults) Our little Cockapoo puppy is one year old today. We are seniors and needed a little more life in our home. So we adopted Susie. She is everything we wanted and more. Like everything else, the more was a little more of a challenge than we expected. We asked… Read more “To say that Lisa is a dog trainer may not do justice to her talent, she is more of a pet and pet family psychologist.”

Lisa understands how to help people train their dogs in a gentle, humane way.

I have been thrilled to have a trainer to refer my patients to. It makes a world of difference to know that my patients will be working with a gentle, understanding trainer who can truly help them with their fears and anxieties. So many trainers resort to brute force and punishment, which only causes more… Read more “Lisa understands how to help people train their dogs in a gentle, humane way.”

We’ve worked with several trainers, and Lisa far exceeded the other trainers.

(dog training for anxious dog) Before working with Lisa, we were barely able to take our dog Lucy outside due to severe anxiety. After working with Lisa, Lucy is now much more relaxed and able to enjoy being outside. We’ve worked with several trainers, and Lisa far exceeded the other trainers we worked with in… Read more “We’ve worked with several trainers, and Lisa far exceeded the other trainers.”

Lisa has never let me down. Where others have failed, she has succeeded.

A problem pet owners sometimes have is getting their dog to listen and respond to their commands. Lisa has achieved tremendous results in correcting this problem with a number of my patients. I own an accredited AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) hospital in Kenwood, Ohio and have built my veterinary practice on an unwavering commitment… Read more “Lisa has never let me down. Where others have failed, she has succeeded.”

Lisa uses only positive reinforcements and she’s really good at it.

We looked at several different trainers to help us with our aggression challenge. Lisa uses only positive reinforcements and she’s really good at it. I thoroughly enjoyed every session with her. And Piper, our female JRT loves her. We could not be happier with our results. Our fur-family thanks you for all you do. ~Toni… Read more “Lisa uses only positive reinforcements and she’s really good at it.”

Lisa’s understanding of dogs really is very impressive.

We have three dogs, one who is very mellow, one that is kind of afraid of many things and one who can be a little aggressive. Lisa was very helpful in assisting us in how to work them individually and as a group, or pack I suppose would be the better word. I was always… Read more “Lisa’s understanding of dogs really is very impressive.”

I’d recommend Lisa to anyone who needs help understanding their dog better!

We enlisted Lisa’s help for our dog Alfie when we first adopted him. We thought we just needed basic obedience and leash training, but soon discovered Alfie was a very nervous and fearful dog. With Lisa’s help, we learned to identify when he was showing more subtle signs of fear and anxiety and she taught… Read more “I’d recommend Lisa to anyone who needs help understanding their dog better!”

We’ve made a lot of progress with Lisa’s help!

My vet recommended that I contact Lisa to help me deal with my newly rescued dog’s separation anxiety. After talking with other trainers about their methods and experience, I decided to work with Lisa. I’m very happy I did. She gave me a lot of really helpful techniques and advice. I’m still working on getting… Read more “We’ve made a lot of progress with Lisa’s help!”
