Testimonials
“Elizabeth is by far the best dog trainer in the Tallahassee area. What sets Elizabeth apart is that she focuses her training on actually developing your dog. She develops the inner drive and motivation of your dog so that it genuinely “wants” and is “excited” to learn. This foundational work is truly remarkable because your dog will become extremely intrinsically driven which leads to sustainable and long-lasting results.”
– Charlie Velazquez
“Elizabeth helped our rescue golden-doodle gain confidence through play and not only helped us bond with him but we are gaining his trust through the process. He walks on his leash FANTASTIC now and listens to our commands- before it was hard to communicate with him but she has taught Bear ( and us ) so much!”
– Paige Baker
“DogSpeak gave me the ability to have an adventurous life with my dog. My dog was a rescue and I had no knowledge of her history or upbringing so I was cautious when it came to training. We had made great progress on our own but we were lacking in a few areas such as lunging at dogs, pulling on the leash while walking, coming when called and she was a major flight risk. Elizabeth gave us the ability to overcome all this and build trust between my dog and I and I am so thankful.”
– Lukey Luke
About the Trainer
DogSpeak is a dog training and boarding business located on a 13-acre sheep ranch in Tallahassee, FL, founded by Elizabeth Snyder. They offer personalized training programs using Training Without Conflict (TWC) methods, which focus on building a dog’s intrinsic motivation through play, praise, and positive engagement. Services include private coaching, group classes, board-and-train programs, and in-home homeschooling. Their facility provides climate-controlled boarding options with daily one-on-one exercise and enrichment. DogSpeak emphasizes coaching owners alongside training dogs to strengthen the human-dog bond, with programs tailored for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs of all breeds, including reactive, fearful, or high-drive dogs.
Their unique advantage is the rural, spacious environment that allows for real-world socialization and distraction-based training, unlike traditional indoor facilities. They also offer specialized programs for leash reactivity, recall, separation anxiety, and obedience, with many clients reporting dramatic improvements in behavior and confidence. Elizabeth is a certified TWC trainer and actively participates in dog sports like IGP and AKC obedience.
