Those who truly love their dogs do not want to scare or hurt them! - I’ve known Lisa for over 10 years. From our first meeting it was obvious that her dogs came first and I always respected her for that! She made it her mission to learn as much as possible in order to be the best dog Mom ever, which led to her mentoring with Greg and I and eventually completing the Canine Correspondence Studies Professional Dog Training & Behaviour Therapy Career Course and earning her certification. She has successfully completed the course and logged over 550 hours of practical hands-on experience. Lisa understands the importance of using only 100% scientifically proven and positive techniques in order to speed up the learning process and changing unwanted behaviours while putting your dog’s experience and happiness first. When you hire a professional to help you train your dog or change unwanted behaviours you want someone who understands how much you love your dog and that although you want change, you also want your dog’s temperament and emotional wellbeing protected, because those who truly love their dogs do not want to scare or hurt them. When you have the privilege of working with Lisa you will know that like her own dogs, you and your dogs will be her top priority, she will love your dog as much as you do, and you’ll get results! There are very few people whom I trust with my own dogs and Lisa is one of them. Norma Jeanne Laurette, Published Author, Owner, Author & Head Trainer – CCS – Canine Correspondence Studies, Former Owner Of Puppy Power Kitchener, Co-Founder & Co-Owner – ACTT – Applied Canine Therapy & Training, Founder & Chair – IPDTA – International Positive Dog Training Association

To say I’m pleased with what you taught me is an understatement! - Hi my new friend! For the last three weeks I have been composing a thank you for your help with my girl. I will give you a run down of our successes and they have been many thanks to your advice. Reacting to men on walks. Jenny loves her treats. When a man comes into view as we are walking she will stop and look towards the man then look to me for a treat. Yesterday she went right up to one of our male friends and nudged his hand for a pet. She used to hide from him. Our walks take longer now because as you advised I let her top and smell everything. Since learning from you how to read her body language there have been no accidents in the house. I was walking in the park and had Jenny on a long leash and we ran into a couple friends with their dogs. I gave the leash to my sister and went to say hello to the dogs. They were excited to see me, barking, jumping up at me. I’m proud to say that Jenny just sat beside my sister and looked at her then me. She didn’t bark or try to run away from her. I think she’s doing fantastic. To say I’m pleased with what you taught me is an understatement. So THANK YOU! Thanks again I’ll keep you posted and will definitely recommend you to anyone needing help. Betty & Jenny

Lisa Worked Her Magic! - We are beyond grateful to have had Lisa work with us and our Havanese puppy, Wally. We started with the 4 - 1 hour sessions Training Package and then we dropped Wally off at her place for one week during the daytimes so she could imprint him and socialize him with her 3 beautiful Pointers who were very gently with little Wally. Lisa worked her magic on our puppy and even our 4 year old daughter LOL because mostly, dog training is about training the owners! We each had our own shortcomings in training Wally and she picked up on them and gave us each specific techniques to follow through with. We felt it was a great combination to have her come over and meet the pup (we did so the day we got him and she had critical tips on what do with him right off the bat) and our family a few times and then send him to her house for training - he felt very comfortable being dropped off. Wally absolutely loves her! Lisa was extremely responsive when we needed her for extra advice and provided lots of background info for us look over. Five Stars all around. Well worth the money.

Lisa Really Knows Her Stuff! - Highly recommend this positive dog trainer! Lisa really knows her stuff! Do not hesitate to call. Colleen H

Lisa Is An Excellent Dog Trainer! -  Lisa is an excellent dog trainer! She took our 10 week old puppy, Fred, on relatively short notice for imprint training. We had been having some specific issues with separation anxiety and nipping and have a (human) baby in the house so the biting and barking was going to be difficult for our family and we were stumped on how to train Fred out of those issues. Our puppy spent a week with Lisa and he improved substantially on the issues and picked up some new skills! We were able to watch the progress as she posts live videos on the Living Better Facebook group, and get all our questions answered in weekly chats with other puppy parents. And she provided us with a helpful report at the end of his progress and how we could continue the training. The whole experience was really excellent! It’s clear Lisa is knowledgeable and passionate about good relationships between dogs and their families. Anastasia Vogt
