A Pawsitive Approach

I am a certified trainer. I graduated with honors from The Animal Behavioral College I am trained in using positive reinforcement techniques to train you and your companion. Although I am finished with college I continue to learn so I can give you and your dog the very best training has to offer. I have always shared my life with dog's.  They are a true passion for me. I am a positive reinforcement trainer which simply means Do No Harm. My training technique is to train with kindness and compassion.  I feel that dog's are family member's and deserve to be trained humanely.  This training package is for behavioral issues. It will always require a consult so that I have the opportunity to observe your and your dog. From this consult we will come up with a training plan if I feel that I am the right trainer for you. This training relies heavily on focus and establishing a good relationship between you and your dog.

I have worked with multiple trainers, and Lisa has by far been the most helpful. My reactive dog was struggling with anxiety and fear aggression, and I was struggling to feel confident guiding him through those difficult emotions. Lisa is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. She takes the time to understand your dog's unique needs and tailors her approach to ensure the best possible outcome. With her guidance and techniques, both my dog and I have made tremendous progress. I am so grateful for her help and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to improve their dog's well-being and strengthen their bond with their companion. Finding the right trainer for a dog who has behavior quirks can be hard, but Lisa delivered a training program that went far beyond the basics and truly addressed my needs.

Lisa did an excellent job with our miniature schnauzer Max. She gave us the tools to continue with his training. There’s been a noticeable improvement. I especially appreciated her positive training techniques which emphasized rewards. She is a dedicated and patient trainer. I highly recommend her.

Lisa was super helpful with all the tips and tricks that she gave. My two dogs really learned a lot and are getting better as the days go on! Highly recommend her for all training needs!

Lisa was a pleasure to work with! She was extremely confident while working with our pup, who was so receptive to the obedience training. The best part was the convenience of her coming to our home when it best suited our busy schedule! We could feel the love she had for our puppy and her job each session! That alone, makes the world of difference when choosing a trainer that is a proper fit for your dog AND your family. We couldn’t be happier with our now, well trained puppy and would highly recommend A Pawsitive Approach!
