Risa and her team is amazing. She helped us with our puppy. She teaches us how to understand our dog better. Her training sessions have helped us a lot with training. Our puppy follows our rules so well now, after Risa's training. She has cool and simple tricks for us to communicate with our puppy easily. I would highly recommend her for dog training.

Would recommend to anyone that will listen - Risa has an amazing ability to read dogs and people. She was kind and patient and within our first session we had already made amazing progress as a family. Highly recommended!

Life changing!!!! I absolutely love Risa, the trainer & owner of George & Friends dog training. First off let me say what a beautiful soul this woman has. She's so caring, loving, understanding, patient, knowledgeable, and FUN! She instantly feels like that best friend/family type. She's just so great! I contacted her one day after a very unsuccessful training session with another company. Feeling defeating and like our puppy would never learn anything, I reached out in a panic. She not only contacted me right away but took her time to speak with me over the phone to get a feel of our puppy, my other dogs, my household, and me! She took detailed notes and reassured me all will be okay. The very next day we started our first lesson. Risa showed up on time, treats in hand & ready to go! We learned so much on just the first session alone. She teaches not only your dog, but you as well. She will also help you go over your household to make adjustments if necessary. I have been working with Risa for only about a month now, but it feels like we've had so many more lessons just based on how much my dog has learned! Risa is always a text, phone call, or email away. Her schedule is very flexible, and there's always an available time slot for you. Her scheduling system is also super easy and helpful!! Cannot recommend her enough. Don't even hesitate, book her right away!! She’s the best in town!
We worked with George & Friends to help with our corgis behavioral issues. Risa help Finn with his confidence and manners. We are now able to take him everywhere we go with no issues! Thank you for helping shape our little guy! He is a much happier corgi and excited to learn new things.
Very knowledgeable. Her instruction really worked. She really cares.
