“The new methods Lisa showed us to help with Zia's behavior problems were fun for Zia and easy for us. We enjoy practicing the commands and games Lisa taught us, and Zia loves it as well and is learning at the same time so it's a win-win!! . . . Also, Zia loved her!” — Deidra and Ashley S.

“It has now been two months and there has been no discipline [used]. Thank you for that! She just listens. It’s the training you introduced us to that has built the basis.” — Jim K.

“We both learned to speak each other’s language better. . . I really liked that you took your time with them (and me), and they really responded well to your kind and gentle approach. I learned that some things just take a little time :) And that they need clear and consistent instructions.” — Doris S.

“The minute Lisa walked in the door, Babe was mesmerized by the calming effect Lisa naturally exudes. I've never seen Babe so attentive and responsive to someone new. Lisa worked with Babe and me for just one hour. . . . Since our meeting, I have tried to consistently interact with Babe in a calming and positive manner and have used the redirection methods Lisa taught us. True to Lisa's assessment, Babe has responded very well to this approach and is much calmer and has become a better listener with much less rebellion.” — Carla N.

“Lisa is wonderful! She is enthusiastic, honest, and it is very clear that she loves her work. She also is adept and willing to try different methods if something doesn’t work, either for the puppies or for the humans.” — Judy B.
