Dog Training with Lisa I do Positive Reinforcement Dog Training, which is the reward system. I train in Montgomery County, Maryland, or over Skype.

~ More info in Pinned Post It's done with you, and whoever else may have contact with the dog in the home, to ensure the dog will work for all of you. It's done in the home env

ironment, as that's where the dog lives, and the dog must be trained where the problems originate. Also, the entire home environment and your lifestyle must be taken into consideration when developing a training plan. I don't time my sessions, or charge by the hour, as other trainers do. I charge by the session, not by the hour. This is especially important for the first session, which can take a couple of hours. During the first session, I need to see the environment the dog lives in, talk to you about your relationship with the dog and the problems you're having, and observe the dog with you. At that time you're also given a training plan to start with, and I show you how to do everything involved with it. What you learn to do then will build on other sessions, as the dog needs to go through a series of building blocks in his learning, in order to get to the point where he is fully reponsive of any commands you may give him, and is able to exhibit proper behaviors on his own. It's a process that depends on you maintaining consistancy in order for it to work. This is especially important for the first session, which can take a couple of hours, because we have so much to go over. I encourage you to call me along the way, should any problems arise between training sessions. There is no charge for phone consultations. My credentials are:

Veterinary Technician - over 25 years of continuing education with Michigan State University
My background in this field enables me to spot medical problems that may be causing negative behaviors

Dog Show Handler - I've shown dogs to their championships, and CD and CDX obedience titles

Rescue - I've done rescue both dog and cat rescue for over 25 years

Please don't hesitate to call if I can answer any other questions. Ask about my special package deal, as well as multiple dog discounts. I look foward to hearing back from you.

Congratulations to Louie, who recently graduated from "Dog Training With Lisa"!

I'm so proud of Louie for all he's accomplished, and I'm so proud of his mom and dad for working so hard to get him to this point.

On his last lesson, Louie proved just how far he'd come when he did an awesome job of doing his obedience off leash in a big baseball field at a park, and even when a maintenance worker walked through, that didn't deter Louie from following through on his dad's obedience command to "come". Louie ran to his dad when he told him to "come", and he did a perfect "sit" in front of his dad.

Good job, Louie!

Now the fun begins. Both Louie and Rodeo have graduated from "Dog Training With Lisa", and they'll be having a playdate together in a few weeks. I'll be there to join in the fun with their moms and dads, and I'm so looking forward to it.

Please welcome beautiful Miniature Schnauzer puppy, Molly, to "Dog Training With Lisa".

Molly is an overly energetic little girl with a lot of attitude. She's highly reactive, and can be bitey to people and dogs inside and outside. She's controlling her mom, and she's taken over and is running her home. She barks at everything, and also uses barking as part of her control issues. She just likes to bark...a lot.

Molly will be receiving behavioral modification for her control issues and reactivity, as well as learn obedience, and have leash work. Molly will be molded to fit into her family structure, and be able to accompany her mom to places calmly, quietly, and mannerly.

Welcome, Molly!

Please welcome cute little Josey back to "Dog Training With Lisa".

Josie had one lesson with me in the spring, and then her mom had to deal with family emergencies that kept Josey from finishing. Everything's ok now for them to move forward, and Josey and her mom will have their second lesson soon, and get back on track.

It will be nice to have Josey back in training. She's a smart little girl, who did well on her first lesson. She's receiving behavioral modification, obedience training, and leash work.

She's such a cutie!

Please welcome Lola, a two year old rescue Mini–Australian Shepherd, to "Dog Training With Lisa". Lola is highly reactive on a leash, and in her home when guests come in.

Lola will be receiving behavioral modification for her reactivity, and getting obedience and leash training.

I'm looking forward to meeting Lola this weekend.

Thank you to the veterinarian who recommended me to Lola's mom.

Cute little puppy, Louie, had his fourth lesson with "Dog Training With Lisa" today. He'll be graduating next week. He has something exciting to look forward to after he graduates. He'll be having a playdate with another recent "Dog Training With Lisa" graduate, adorable Border Collie x puppy, Rodeo.

Thank you, Rodeo's mom and dad, for the beautiful recommendation you wrote for my dog training services.

Training with your family, and watching Rodeo grow mentally, emotionally, and physically, while learning to fit in as a valued family member, provided me with many enjoyable, and heartwarming moments. It gives me great satisfaction as a dog trainer when everything comes together like this, everyone's so happy with the results, and the dog has become a well-rounded dog, who knows his place in the family and how to behave under all circumstances, so he can just relax and enjoy his life without stress.

Rodeo's a very intelligent little boy, and the sky's the limit in terms of what he can achieve. I'm looking forward to pictures of him when he grows up. And I'll try to be there for his first playdate with my dog training client, Louie. 😊

Squiggy, a four year old boxer x, had his first lesson with "Dog Training With Lisa" today, and he did an awesome job with his obedience.

In the videos, Squiggy's doing "Come with Sit", and "Stay with Sit", both perfectly.

Squiggy is highly aggressively reactive, both on a leash to other dogs, and in his home to human visitors. He's getting behavioral modification, and he's learning obedience and leash work. I expect him to do well with everything.

Good job, Squiggy!

Congratulations to Rodeo, on his graduation from "Dog Training With Lisa".

Cute little Rodeo, a Border Collie X rescue puppy, did great in training. He's a brilliant little boy, and was a pleasure to train. He has an awesome forever family that he now fits in perfectly with, thanks to training. I look forward to hearing about all the fun adventures they have together.
