“We rescued Brutus in February of 2022 when he was 1 year old. He’s such a good boy and we are so lucky to have him! Brutus has exhibited some anxious behaviors such as excessive whining, acting shy, fear of raised surfaces, and barking at strangers. He’s also a jumper on people he likes! As happy as he had been for the year we’ve had him, I knew the anxiety was uncomfortable.
Lisa has been so wonderful for him, she’s had a huge impact on our lives already! Together, we have found a method that helps to deter jumping and helped him feel more comfortable while I put on his harness. He overcame his fear of stepping onto surfaces during our first training session with Lisa—it was amazing! She taught me the importance of enrichment. I also had no idea that “learning to turn himself off” was something we could teach him, but it’s such a great thing to help settle his anxious self. I’m so thankful for Lisa and can’t wait for our next training session!”

“Lisa is incredible. I got my dog when he was almost 2 and so while he new some basic commands, there was really some trust and bonding we both needed. While Lisa helped Teddy with some basic skills, the best part is how attentive Teddy is to me and how willing he his to learn something new.
I get compliments on his demeanor everywhere we go. From knowing how to sit if he wants to be pet and not jump to not begging at the dinner table and so much more, Teddy has learned so much.
Even more impressive is I learned so much too. I highly recommend Lisa. It is worth every penny of the investment.”

“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 both knowledge about our dog’s behavior, and in Lisa’s positive reinforcement approaches. Lisa would regularly check in with us, corresponded with advice over email, and she did some Zoom calls with us – all in addition to the training sessions. Lisa really went above and beyond, and she genuinely cared for our dog Lucy. I cannot recommend Lisa enough!”

“We started working with Lisa when we first got our puppy Reggie, who is a Corgi. She was recommended to us by our veterinarian who had concerns that our puppy may have behavioral issues. From when we started working with Lisa to now – we have seen such a huge shift with our sweet pup. We’ve learned how to help him thrive, behave and have fun all at once! We also have two young toddlers – so we’ve learned how to have our pup and kiddos interaction with each other safely while still having fun (they are now the best of friends). However, the best result that came from Lisa is when our vet had to keep Reggie for a day following our trainings. When we came to pick him up – the vet said Reggie was the light of their day and that every person who interacted with him just absolutely adored him and kept going back to love on him. No doubt, thanks to Lisa! If you are reading this – I would highly recommend connecting with Lisa in any capacity you can – you won’t regret it!”

“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 together, built a stronger connection outdoors, and improved my ability to read Ginger’s body language, and have more fun. Lisa is patient and insightful…and knows the best gear and enrichment toys. I have had so many ah-ha moments. Ginger seems so much happier. She can relax when people come to our home, and now she will actually go up to and solicit attention from the kinds of people she used to growl at. It is wonderful that I can take her for walks and she can come with us on family outings. Thank you Lisa!”
