I cannot say enough good things about Lisa with Gentle Dog Training. I have one doodle who was struggling with manners, pulling on walks, and overall listening, and within just TWO visits I saw a complete change in my dog. By the last few sessions, we were confidently meeting in public places like the park, the dog beach, and even going on long neighborhood walks with a calm, well-behaved dog I could truly enjoy. Lisa’s approach is gentle, loving, and incredibly effective. She explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and made me feel confident working with my dog. The transformation honestly exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend Gentle Dog Training to anyone wanting real results with kindness and understanding.”
Lisa trained our wonderful dog Bucky! This was the best money I ever spent. Lisa was great to work with and so incredibly talented. Everything she had me do with my dog just makes sense and turned our dog into the best family dog ever!
Thank you for the great experience. My dog is so much easier to handle with the training she received here. It's hard to put our fur babies in the hands of others, but Lisa and Mike know what they are doing. I felt safe and secure leaving her in their hands. Great Job and so far so good.
Highly recommend. Lisa trained two of my personal pups. In addition, she trained our police department comfort dog. Prior to GDT we had always trained on our own over the years… what a difference with Lisa… wish we would have had GDT years ago!!!
