Introduction
I owe everything I am today to a runaway, abused, rescue dog named Snickers. He saved and changed my life!!! (RIP precious buddy! 2000-2014) I'm a certified AKC Evaluator and top pro dog trainer in Michigan. In my 20+ years of working with precious canines, I've trained hundreds of dogs for pet therapy and service dog work/tasks as well as those with anxiety and behavioral issues (aggression too). I treat every pup and dog as an individual, and work closely with my clients to listen and address their specific needs in each training session, whether private or group. I offer affordable training and educate the owner about their particular dog and situation, most dogs may just need one or two sessions, others may need more. Every dog is different and may need an entirely different method of training. I do what will work best for the owner and their dog. I do a full eval/assessment the very first visit and we begin training immediately and showing the owner what to do to help their dog/situation. I do book up quickly so please contact me right away with your best contact number if interested. I've worked with some of the most aggressive dogs and helped them to be retrained so the owner did not have to rehome or put them down. My job is very rewarding. Most of the time I see improvements right away and have a lot of happy clients. The dogs are happier too. Besides that I love dogs and learn from each new dog and client so I can continue the work I so love.

This is an excellent and compassionate trainer, who is assisting with my dog. She is not only training the dog, but is also assisting with other issues that affect my dog's behavior (i.e. other pets in the home). Every suggestion that has been made is absolutely effective and appreciated.

Lisa Freeman gives a very good mixture of behaviors for dog training at a very good price!! My Shi Tzu Bichon mix (Teddy) first started training with Lisa at 5 months of age (4 1/2 lbs) .and has already learned a great deal in only 3 sessions. She provides a well rounded class, giving exposure to a mixture of breeds so they can interact with one another in a safe setting.

Lisa has worked with our dog on aggression and obedience and he has made a great improvement! In such a short time (30 mins a session) she gave us the tools to train our dog and we will continue his training in our home.
Abuse Bites (AKA the Dog Lady)'s reply
Stephanie, Thanks so much! I really enjoyed working with you, your husband and Meatsy. What a great honor to be able to help families break aggressive behavior in their dogs so they can be a happy family again. Thanks for letting me be a part of that!
