Lisa has been an absolute blessing to my relationship with not only my dogs, but also with my fiancé and myself. We reached out to Lisa when my fiancé adopted our second dog, whose reactivity meant we couldn’t take outside of the house without risking the removal of our shoulders from their sockets. I have never had an anxious animal.

Day one of Lisa visiting our home, she pulled out many positive reinforcement approaches to to dog training. I have never seen animals more happy and engaged than my dogs were while training with Lisa. I didn’t even know our new dog’s tail could wag like that!

I cried after Lisa left that first time. I and threw out my pronged collar after that. Input Lisa’s training and output the most joyful & confident version of your dog who loves listening to you more than chasing squirrels… instead of the repressed obedience that I now recognize comes with punitive training styles.

Lisa is like a dream therapist/translator for dogs and their people, who will help you learn how to communicate better to create a happier & healthier relationship. And despite Lisa’s many years of experience, she is always continuing her education as a trainer; every time I talk to her I feel like she has just returned from some new seminar or received another certification.

On top of her dedication to her career, she’s also a grade A human being who always comes from a place of kindness with the people she interacts with as well as with their animals. If whoever is reading this is someone who considers their relationship with animals to be integral to their personal identity— know that investing in Lisa is not just investing in your animal companion, but it is also investing in you!
