Paws Afoot

I cannot say enough positive things about Lise with Paws Afoot. I met her through a group training class at a local dog daycare. Then I asked if she willing to come work with me & my pup one on one. She excelled in both situations. She is calm, kind, patient, gracious, supportive and has a great sense of humor. My dog absolutely adores her! My dog is putty in her hands. And let’s be clear, my pup is a husky, which some say are some of the most difficult breeds to train. Lise makes it look easy. I am exceptionally grateful for her help and the excitement my pup has when she sees her. Lise is positive reinforcement and helped me learn, as the human (and the one that really needs the training), to be a better dog mom. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Lise for being the amazing human you are.

Fantastic Dog Trainer – Highly Recommend! 🐾 Working with Lise has been one of the best decisions we've made for our pup. From day one, she brought a calm, confident energy that immediately put both us and our dog at ease. Her knowledge, patience, and passion for animals really shine through in every session. Our puppy went from pulling on the leash, ignoring commands, and being overly excitable to walking calmly by our side and responding to cues like a pro. What really stood out was how Lise took the time to teach us as well — not just what to do, but why it works. It felt like we were part of a team working together to help our dog succeed. She tailored the training to our puppy's personality and needs, and always celebrated the little wins along the way. The positive, reward-based approach made a huge difference in our dog’s behavior — and our bond has never been stronger. Whether you’re dealing with behavioral issues or just want a well-mannered pup, I can’t recommend Lise enough. Professional, friendly, and truly effective! Thank you Lise!

My wife and I signed up for the PAWS AFOOT 6 week basic training classes with Lise. It was a really great experience with our mixed shepherd shelter dog 🐕 We learned all the basics: sit, stay, bed, heel, as well as how to walk nicely and wait at the door properly to go through a doorway. This amongst many other valuable skills as a dog owner were taught with ease and she always kept us interested with dog demo's and time to practice each skill. All 3 of us Daphne included are very grateful and better equipped to handle everyday life with a now well behaved dog. Couldn't have asked for more in 6 weeks 1 day a week. Great experience and would highly recommend. Thanks so much for everything Lise.
