My name is Lizzie Bloemer and I am the owner here at Rogue Hounds Training Co. I have loved dogs all my life, and took an active roll in training our family pets. But it wasn't until 2014 that I started down my dog training journey. I was working a normal soul-sucking job when my roommate brought home a new dog named Rue. Rue was sweet and loving and full of life, but she was also terrified of str
angers. Over time, that fear started turning into aggression and she started biting and eventually had to be put to sleep. After I moved to Colorado, I was determined to learn more about dogs and dog behavior so that I could prevent something similar from happening again. I started out working at a veterinarian's office, where I was exposed to hundreds of different dog breeds, personalities and temperaments. Then I started an internship under Spencer Bowman at Prestige K9, where I learned not only advanced obedience training, but how to rehabilitate anxious dogs, manage aggression, and stop reactivity. Once I completed the internship, I stayed on with Prestige K9 and worked my way up to Head Trainer, all the while learning more and more from other trainers and from every dog I trained. I currently live in Colorado Springs with my husband Colin, our Catahoula Leopard Hound, Jason, and our cat, Benjamin. That is why I work with you to create a personalized training plan that suits you, your dog, and your lifestyle. I want to help you to create a lasting communication system with your dog that will not only help solve today's issues, but will give you the tools to address any future unwanted behaviors and create a loving bond between you and your dog. Whether your dog is aggressive, anxious, or just needs to learn some manners, I can help you reach your training goals.
