Lisa was so great with our pup, Jedda! She answered every question we had and made sure we knew how to continue making progress!

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

When I got my 8-week-old mini Aussie shepherd, I wanted to start his training as early as possible to head off behavior problems before they start. I am so glad I found Lisa! Having her come to my home was such a convenience, as I do not want to take my puppy outside the home more than necessary until he has all his immunizations. From the first week, working with Lisa was such a pleasure. She was so kind and patient—and persistent—with my puppy. By the second week he was very happy to see her again. Lisa has such a natural rapport with dogs. Her instincts are lightning fast and she gently corrects distraction and bad behavior in your dog before it can get out of control. But the most valuable thing about Lisa is how she coaches you into training your pup so you can continue on your own after every session. As she teaches your pup new commands, she clearly explains the What, the How, and the Why of everything, and answers your probing questions with ease and confidence. She will also point out common pitfalls to avoid. At the end of each session, she gives you homework sheets that explain everything that was gone over that day, just in case you need reminders. Bodhi has quickly learned sit, down, stand, come, leave it, drop it, stay, and others. Pro tip: use cheerios for training, like Lisa does! I was using Bodhi’s regular kibble for the first few weeks and wondered why he wasn’t performing as well for me as he was for her. Then I picked up a box of cheerios, and bam, it was suddenly like I was Lisa. :) I am already planning to use On The Spot again when Bodhi becomes an unruly adolescent. He’s going to need help with leash training, which we only just got started with today on our last session. I can’t wait to add on to Bodhi’s repertoire in a few months! Don’t look around at other trainers—just call On The Spot!
I was always told that Frenchies can’t be trained. Wow Lisa has proven that theory completely false. My little Sophie is so well behaved I get compliments all the time but most importantly I feel peace of mind regarding her safety. She used to dart out of the house as soon as given and open door chance. Also she comes when called!!!!! Best investment!
Lisa and her WONDERFUL help were not only beneficial for my "once feral" puppy but she is a true delight with whom to work. Absolutely recommend her and her company.
