How it works
Click below for an option to pick a time for a free discovery call that will normally last 15 to 20 minutes. We will discuss your needs for your dog and how we can meet those needs!
Once a package or consultation has been purchased and scheduled, I will let you know what you need ahead of our appointment. Handouts will be provided to work on throughout the week and questions may be answered via email before the next session. You will be provided with training gear free of charge! This will include treats, a treat pouch, and a clicker. We want to set up our clients and their dogs for success!!
Day training while you are at work or away or even if you are home but don’t want to be as involved in the training, is available! These sessions begin with a consultation to discuss training goals, management options, and how the training will work. Training sessions with the dog occur 3 times per week for 3 weeks. Videos will be provided. There will be 3 sessions, once per week, with you to discuss how things are going and to hand the reigns to you so you can be a part of the learning process. Two follow up sessions are included in the package. All of this for only $1900!

Liz is amazing at breaking training down into small steps. She is also good at offering options based on how your particular dog learns. For example, I was trying to teach Trooper to side-step towards me by watching training videos and following steps shown on the videos. None of it was working for Trooper. Liz watched what I was doing and from there was able to break it down into small individual movements based on how Trooper would best learn. We worked on one movement at a time and within a few weeks, Trooper was side-stepping like a champ!
Patience was my biggest challenge. I want Trooper to learn tricks and techniques without breaking them down into small individual pieces. Liz taught me to practice one small step at a time and reward and celebrate before moving to the next. This has made a tremendous difference for both Trooper and me.
Liz understands and is knowledgeable about so many aspects of dog training, from obedience, exercise, trick training, freestyle, agility, rally, scent, etc. She uses all of this knowledge when training. For instance, one of our moves in freestyle is backing up. Lately, Trooper didn’t seem to enjoy backing up like he did in the past. Liz suggested that we work on some strength training for his back leg muscles and showed me some exercises. It seems to be working!
