Testimonials
“After we finished our training with Liz, he was obedient, had a calm demeanor, no longer pulling on the leash, and we left with the skills and knowledge that we were lacking to properly communicate with our pup.”
– The Clesi Family
“I went from avoiding walking all three of my goldens at once to actually looking forward to taking them out. Liz also gave me advice on some other issues I had with him even after I had completed my training with her, so the help doesn’t stop after you complete your training session.”
– Brenda & Finn
“Liz is an absolute godsend! Our littermate pomeranian pups were reactive, anxious and highly unmanageable. After daily training with Liz, the boys were able to walk on leash without pulling or barking… and overall were just more chill. I don’t know how you train a dog to just chill, but she did it.”
– Alex & Sophie
