My Life Unleashed Dog Training & Animal Assisted Therapy

Lisa Lior Lima, owner of My Life Unleashed, is without a doubt, the best dog trainer that you can find. Lisa’s love for dogs is evident in her compassionate but direct approach in training. Murphy, our Golden Retriever, immediately bonded with Lisa and the chemistry between the two was incredible to watch. Murphy went through the AKC Good Citizen Class and because of Lisa’s training, his obedience and skill level far surpassed any training we could do on our own. Lisa has a way of communicating with dogs that does not intimidate them and they are eager to respond in a positive way. Lisa has now trained Murphy to be a service dog and the transformation in him is incredible. When out in public, we receive numerous compliments from people on how well-trained Murphy is in his service dog techniques. Thank you Lisa for guiding and creating a dog that has a passion for service work. Not only is Lisa great with dogs, she has a warm, friendly and fun personality and is flexible with training in her facility, out in a public area or in your home. Through Lisa’s training, you are able to have a more pleasant, fun and meaningful relationship with your dog. If you have a dog that needs training of any kind, I highly recommend Lisa with My Life Unleashed. She is the best!

Lisa employs a balanced training style, a perfect fit for Harbor, my Newfoundland/Komondor mix. Not reliably food motivated, Harbor loves to work and help however possible. As a hybrid livestock guardian and water rescue dog, Harbor thinks creatively for himself, solving problems as a partnership with people at best and as an independent if he believes necessary. To successfully acquire skills, Harbor needs both positive reinforcement and clear boundaries, both of which Lisa provides excellently, conveying confines without a heavy hand. She’s talented and intuitive with dogs, but also refined. Rather than leaning on raw talent and intuition, Lisa clearly works to educate herself continuously. With a broad foundation of experience, she practically hones her skills to teach and communicate with dogs and their people. Her imaginative and inventive approach to dog training pairs well with good listening, accurate observation and critical thinking skills, ensuring success for all parties involved. Not only is Lisa excellent as a professional, she’s also just good people. She’s kind, embracing people and their dogs with warmth. She’s respectful and treats people with dignity, assuming competence. She attends to folks with both deference and clarity. Lisa is generous. Setting people and dogs up for success with everything in her power, she sent Harbor home with all the physical and informational resources he and I needed to succeed as a team, asking for nothing in return. Caring and driven, pleasant, personable, professional and a joy to work with, Lisa is worth her weight in gold.
