She has an amazing way with dogs and simplifies things for their owners. If you have smaller children, we highly recommend Liz. She has a way with making everyone in the house feel comfortable and included in the process. No more than Liz left our home we recommended her to other friends of ours.

“We hadn’t had a puppy in many years and decided to get two puppies! We were struggling to get the puppies to come to us while outside. I called Liz and she came for one on one training and in one session showed us how to get them to come. And it worked. She’s a lifesaver. Also, potty training has been hard with the two of them. She is always available to help. She explains on what to do and gives me a lot of encouragement. She is amazing and truly cares about you and your puppies success. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great person too. I highly recommend her, you will be very happy with Liz.”

“As first-time dog owners, we didn’t have a clue about how to train our new poodle, Zappa. Liz guided us every step of the way. She helped us with crate training, house training, basic commands like sit, come, and stay. She also helped us leash train Zappa. When we walk him now, people always compliment us on how well behaved he is. Best of all, Liz taught us about how to train him, so that we can continue to work on his behavior. Liz always followed up the training session with an email with a detailed summary of what we worked on and how to practice. She also gave us great tips on food, treat, and all the other things you need for a happy dog. Liz’s guidance contributed immensely to the success we’ve had making Zappa part of our family.”
