About
Greetings,
I am a clinical psychologist and animal behaviorist. I have been working with dogs (as well as horses) for 30+ years. I specialize in training all obedience skills and cues, raising you and your dogs IQ, extinguishing aggressive and destructive behaviors and socializing your animal and you. I work with all aspects including appropriate exercise regiments for your dog, nutrition, aggressive dogs, dogs who have taken charge, non-socialized dogs, traumatized dogs, fear based dogs and much more.
Appropriate goals: your animal to be able to be comfortable in the house, good with visitors and with your partner and children, able to walk safely and obediently on the streets and at dog parks, and more.
I teach responsible dog ownership and effective leadership. I have rehabilitated and trained dozens and dozens of American Pitbull Terriers, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, as well as small and medium breed dogs. I live in Stamford Connecticut for the next 6 to 18 months. My permanent home is in San Diego, California and my vehicle is there. So I will need to Uber to you. I will train your dog and you and your family so that the training "takes". I can create an hourly rate or a fixed rate for a special program tailor made to you and your dog’s needs. I look forward to hearing from you if you are genuinely interested in change. Sooner is better! I look forward to the possibilities. Remember, challenges are learning opportunities! Sincerely Dr. Lisa
It is important to understand that in order for the dog to be trained, its humans and all significant people in household must be trained as well. My rates are flexible.
I am passionate about humane training, responsible dog ownership and making sure our dogs are ambassadors of the breeds so stereotyped. I am a dedicated and deeply caring person with a variety of ways to work creatively; depending on the situation and household. I look forward to working with you. Call me for a free consultation.
I am on a 6-18 month stay here on the east coast until mid June. I do not have a car out here as I am from the west coast. I can Uber to you, or you can come to me in stamford.
I practice Covid safety and have had 2 vaccinations and a booster and wear a mask.

Hired on Thumbtack
I went on a search for the perfect trainer for my new rescue dog Roxy and my older dog Lola. Lola had some aggression issues towards Roxy when it came certain areas in our home. Lisa is beyond great! She will go above and beyond for your pets. She stayed almost 2 hours for the first session! Ensuring she would leave us with something we could keep working on with the dogs that would be effective! Her expertise gave us some sort of control on what was going on with their behavior immediately! She made sure to teach not only me but my boyfriend and my roommate so we were all on the same page. She gave us immediate tools that worked and had our alpha Chihuahua sit stay and respect us instead of feel out of control dominating us. She had her sit stay on the ground instead of dominating the bed and attacking her new foster. And a lot of other tips and help.. With a little consistency I see positive behavior in the future.
She has also been very helpful with follow up if I address her with a concern after you have your first session. Lisa will help in every way she can! Looking forward to scheduling our next training session to work on some basic commands with Roxy! I highly recommend Lisa.
