Private lessons can be held at the client’s home or a chosen location, typically once a week, with email summaries and homework provided after each class. Puppy 911 is a one-time session covering teething, housebreaking, and crate training. Basic Manners covers commands like Sit, Stay, Down, Off, Leave it, Drop It, and Recall, customized to client needs.

Testimonials
“Lisa is a wonderful trainer. She has a very natural way with dogs, and my pup just loves her. She is very easy to schedule, and isn’t rigid about the length of classes. We enjoy working with her.”
– Nancy B.
“Lisa made herself available on the phone and with quick booking to help me get through the puppy stages. Her experience and natural abilities to connect with dogs and help guide their owners is outstanding, I would highly recommend working with her! Lisa helped me find my confidence using tips and tricks that worked with consistency and time. I truly enjoyed working with and getting to know Lisa, she is truly a wonderful trainer and human being! 5/5 stars and 10/10 recommend!!”
– Alison
“I cannot recommend Lisa enough, and do so often to my clients looking for a personal experience with training. She focuses on positive reinforcement and getting the whole family involved. She caters to your pet and as a terrier owner myself, she adjusted understanding they just aren’t the same as your average dog! My whole family enjoyed going to training and we all consider Lisa (and her boys) our friend.”
– Julia
