At Power Pups, we believe training is more than a transaction — it’s a relationship. We’re here to help you and your dog not just reach your goals, but to grow, evolve, and thrive together over time. Our clients stay with us because they know they have a trusted partner, every step of the way.
How it works
Getting started is easy! First, click below to fill out our quick information form or sign up for a discovery call, to tell us about your dog, your goals, and what you’re hoping to achieve. We will chat about your dog and answer any questions you may have either through email or on the phone. Through these conversations, we can get to know each other and make sure we’re the right fit.
Before beginning any training program, we start with an Initial Consultation to meet you and your dog, discuss your goals, and create a personalized training plan and implement a management plan to prevent unwanted behaviors. The consultation fee is $200 — and if you choose to move forward with a training package, that $200 will be credited toward your package price. Think of it as an investment in getting your dog started on the right path!
Once you choose the training package that fits your needs, whether you’re starting with a new puppy, working through behavior challenges, or aiming for advanced skills, we’ll be with you every step of the way!
We believe training is a partnership — and we’re excited to start this journey with you!

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!
