Question on Google
I have a problem with my puppy, sometimes it seems like she gets the idea that she's gonna do what she wants to do, when she wants to do it and absolutely refuses to obey any commands I give her. (At least the ones I have made an attempt to teach)

That sounds like a typical pup. Busy and easily distracted. Always make certain your pup truly understands what you want before doing any type of correction. We would be happy to help with one of our highly successful In-home Training Programs.

There is a service dog trainer. I'm have done some group classes with her and from what I have picked up from other conversation I think she would want to meet you and your pup. You can visit their website for for information and contacts https://spotdogtraining.com

As I considered using Lisa for my in-home puppy training I contemplated whether to "save money" by having her show ME how do the training or go with my gut and let the professional take over. As a business owner, I try to surround myself with good people and time is extremely valuable to me so I went with my gut--- turned out to be the best decision I made! As I opened the door for our first visit, my anxiety increased wondering how my 2 little puppies would react to this stranger. My little girl - Hershey - can be quite the diva and as Lisa politely asked how potty training was going, we watched as she squatted in front of us going to the bathroom just to show us who was boss! My little boy - Wrangler- is afraid of his own shadow and wouldn't even come close - and when he finally did, he tried to nip at her held out hand! Lisa didn't miss a beat. She quickly corrected Hershey and unzipped her fleece jacket and snuggled Wrangler inside. Within less than one week, potty training was going dramatically better and after that first visit, Wrangler was on board 100% Lisa had absolutely no problem allowing me to sit in on each visit, politely answering all my questions. I watched in amazement as slowly both puppies learned her commands. She taught them to sit, stay, come and walk politely next to me but more importantly Lisa has taught ME to be a better mama to my babies by creating an environment of love, safety, structure and security. Instead of constantly saying "no" or yelling at them to be quiet, she has taught me to reward their good behavior, be consistent and make training fun! Are they perfect? Absolutely not but Lisa has also taught me that training is a life long process and hopefully given me the tools to continue what she started. What a wonderful gift to be able to watch your dogs thrive and get excited when they hear the word YES!! As we wrapped up our last visit today, I am a little sad realizing how much my babies will miss their new found friend. Thank you Lisa for everything you have done for me, Hershey and Wrangler.

If you’re looking for a wonderful holiday gift for yourself, a family member, or friend, look to Lisa at On The Spot dog training. My dog is extremely friendly, but was jumping on almost everyone we met. I started to feel embarrassed that I hadn’t mastered this behavior. Lisa walked by my side (literally) every step of the way. She was happy to go to many locations to teach me how to help my dog greet people politely. We walked through several stores together and by the end of our time, my dog was not jumping on anyone. I enjoyed Lisa’s calm and friendly demeanor was much appreciated as she was teaching me how I could be a better trainer. She gave thorough instructions and several pointers along the way. Anytime I asked her a question unrelated to not jumping, Lisa was happy to give me an answer. Now, I have the best relationship with my dog I could ever expect! This was the most beneficial gift I have ever given myself! I can even now call Lisa a good friend. You won’t regret your decision when you choose On the Spot dog training.
