Testimonials

“I’ve been bringing our dog here since we got him as a puppy. He’s about 10 months old now and I intend to continue training with him for as long as possible. We started with puppy kindergarten, moved on to beginner’s obedience, and are now taking Agility. Attending training at My Dog Training Center has created such a great bond between my dog and I. We look forward to it every week. I continue to learn so much about myself and my dog at every stage of our development together. I cannot say enough great things about Lisa. She is so informative, helps with any challenges we are having, tailors the classes to the attendees, and makes every single second of the class fun and exciting. Whether you are looking to train and socialize your new puppy, iron out any unwanted behaviors, work on obedience, or just have an amazing time bonding with your dog, My Dog Training Center is the place to go!”
– Client

“Over 30 years of training the dogs I’ve owned, Lisa is by far the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. She’s smart, humorous, and boy does she know her business. She tailors the class to what you and your dog need and leaves time every session for questions. It was just so refreshing to find a trainer who doesn’t do cookie cutter, rote classes. Thanks, Lisa!”
– Client

“Lisa is by far the best trainer Ive come across! She helped us set an excellent foundation with our puppy, who has since grown into a wonderful companion. Lisa also has great attention to detail needed to individualize training and offers courses designed to increase in difficulty as your dog learns. I’d give 10 stars if I could!”
