My husband and I decided after our youngest of three turned 11, that it was time to get a puppy and we went big – a Great Dane. Because of her size, we wanted to make sure she was well trained and while my husband and I both had dogs as children, we had never trained a dog ourselves so we knew we needed help.

Lisa was recommended to us by our vet but I had also been reading her article in Hyde Park Living for years. Zelda warmed up to her immediately. With Lisa’s guidance, Zelda quickly learned to sit, lay down, focus attention, and come when called. We are now teaching her some outdoor games and walking without pulling. Lisa has been great with teaching us to recognize Zelda’s cues and our youngest has taken much pride in the skills he can now train Zelda to do. Lisa has been a pleasure to work with and she is one of Zelda’s favorite people.
