Dogs With Liz

Training begins with a consultation to assess the dog and set goals. Sessions are customized, one-on-one, and held in-home initially, progressing to field trips as needed. Handouts and homework are provided after each session to reinforce learning. Day training supplements private sessions while owners are away. Board & train combines boarding with daily training. No fixed curriculum—progress is paced to the dog’s individual needs, with ongoing support until owners feel confident.
