FirstBarkLise is the best! I swear she loves my dog almost as much as I do. Our sweet 5 year old rescue dog came to us with very limited training and severe aggression toward other dogs. Lise trained me (a first-time dog momma) as well as my dog. She is absolutely professional, skilled, and reliable. I could go on... we're so glad we found her!

Lise was easy to get know from my first phone call to our last visit. She's patient and for me, she had no problems rearranging her curriculum to meet our needs. She helped me to understand how dogs learn and why she teaches the way she does. She was very encouraging to me and Memphis on every visit. If you're looking for a private trainer, I highly recommend Lise! She's worth every second of your time! We miss her already!
Lisa to the rescue! Our 9 month old Golden Retriever was chewing us out of house and home. Lisa showed us all the techniques we need to survive puppyhood with the household intact. She explains doggy behavior and helps you see why dogs behave the way they do. All this was in the comfort of our own home.
Lise was a great trainer for both of our puppies. She was very accommodating of our unique needs and worked with the different, rambunctious personalities of each of our dogs. She provided individualized and easy to follow instructions that produced results.
Lise was so wonderful to work with, and so friendly with us and both our dogs. We get compliments on our puppy, and what a good girl she is all the time, and it's all because of Lise. She was so great at explaining exactly what to do, and how to take each lesson to the next level…Read full reviewClose full review
Lise was so wonderful to work with, and so friendly with us and both our dogs. We get compliments on our puppy, and what a good girl she is all the time, and it's all because of Lise. She was so great at explaining exactly what to do, and how to take each lesson to the next level. I always knew what to do, and what was expected from me and the puppy before each session. Also she always provided me with printouts explaining everything we went over, and how to perform each task in case I forgot. We all look forward to working with Lise again in the future! I can't say it enough, she was absolutely amazing!
