Paws Afoot

We had such a wonderful experience with Lise! She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our dog’s personality and specific needs and gave us practical tools that we could easily continue using at home. We saw such a positive difference in our dog’s behavior and confidence, and Lise made the entire training process enjoyable and stress-free. She was always encouraging and explained things in a way that made it easy for us to understand and apply. I highly recommend Lise to anyone looking for a dog trainer. She truly cares about the dogs she works with and their families, and we are so happy with the progress we’ve made!

Lisa was so great to work with. She doesn't just train your pup; she teaches you how to train your pup with detailed homework sheets, which are super helpful for implementing the training when she's not there. She was very flexible working with my partner's crazy work schedule, which made scheduling easier for us. Our pup, Charlie, loved Lisa and took to her positive training method very quickly. She's come a long way since we started with Lisa, and we're so grateful for her guidance!

I highly recommend Lise Lausiva of Paws Afoot. Lise is knowledgeable, patient, and exceptionally skilled at what she does. Her training approach is gentle, positive, and highly effective. I was amazed how much my dog learned and improved each session. It was so reassuring to see how much my dog really enjoyed being around Lise and was eager to accomplish each lesson. My Newfoundland immediately connected with her and was eager to learn. The progress we saw was remarkable, and the training methods were easy to understand. Lise was always so positive and supportive. I realized through her thoughtful explanation how my interactions and training helps my pup learn new skills and even address some challenges like politely greeting people calmly. I’ve had several dogs over the years and have worked with many trainers, and Lise is by far the best I’ve encountered. Lise helped me better understand canine behavior, communication, and training techniques in a way that has made me a more confident and effective in teaching my dog. If you’re looking for a trainer who combines expertise, patience, and genuine care for both dogs and their people, I cannot recommend Lise highly enough.
