About

We care about the pet and the owner it is more than just a job we could be salvaging the relationship and we take that very seriously. The satisfaction of seeing the clients face the first time the pet does what the ower has been working towards. And seeing the dog so happy to have connected in that way with their owner.

Lisa is fantastic. She changed the life of my pup Mandy. I had 2 Boston terriers Penny age 7 and Bev age 5. I adopted Penny in Southern Ca and brought her with me when we moved to Ohio to be near my son. Penny had a great friend in Ca and was lonely so we adopted Bev from the Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue group. We were all so happy. Then Penny had a grand mal seizure on February 13, 2025 and went to heaven. We were a close family and Bev and I were deeply saddened. After month of grief I decided to adopted a new pup for Bev & me. I contacted the Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue and they had a list of dogs to adopt. Each dog had a story. Mandy had lived her life at an amish puppy mill. I felt immediate compassion for her so we adopted her. We drove to Dayton and brought Many home on March 9.She was so scared. The first week she just ate her food. As the weeks went by she was still so scared. I asked for advise from MWBTR, which they gave me, time & patience. I talked to them each day. They did not know any trainers in Columbus. I looked on the net and found Thumbtack and saw a listing for L & S. I contacted Lisa and gave her the history. She responded quickly and came over a few days later. Mandy was still so scared she would not let me pick her up, but Lisa was so calm she had Mandy in her arms by the end of the day. Lisa gave me homework and came each week. Mandy started to get a little less scared each week as Lisa gained her confidence. Each week Lisa taught me how to gain Mandy’s trust. Then we took Mandy to the dog park and Mandy had such a good time. We were so happy. Lisa knew how make Mandy calm. Two days later Lisa taught Mandy how to walk with a leash. The next day I took Mandy for a walk. Lisa saved a sad pup’s life. Mandy has started to trust me. Lisa is always on time. The one hour sessions were perfect for Mandy. Bev liked Lisa too. Lisa taught me how to use Bev to make Mandy feel loved. I am so happy to have found Lisa. She is an answer to my prayers.

Lisa gave us valuable tools to work with our dogs. They made sense and were very effective. The best part? She didn’t drag the training on with multiple sessions. We met with her twice and we were good to go!

Although I have zero professional dog training experience, I do have a human/animal psychology degree, so I know which schools of thought work best and which are pseudoscience and Lisa uses the best current method available called operant conditioning, or positive reinforcement. It sounds simple, but without professional help it can be hard to figure out what exercises to use when you want to remove unwanted behaviors instead of just training your dog to do tricks. It can also be difficult to phase out treat use once a behavior is mastered (since no one wants to need perpetual treats to achieve good behavior). Lisa makes all that guesswork easy by giving you training exercise "homework" each week customized to your dog's behavioral needs, which will lead to newly shaped desirable behaviors to replace undesirable ones. You can tell she is really passionate about what she does. She doesn't judge or try to correct what you find acceptable behavior in your own dog as some trainers will (i.e. allowing dogs on furniture) but she instead listens to YOUR behavioral goals for your dog and helps get you there. Last but not least, her price is the best I've seen for her amazing skill level. To compare, I sent my dog to a training center for just a week, and it was $750 for him to come back with sit, stay, lay down, and heel which are great commands, but at that price Lisa could have come to my house 13 times. Plus, they used a prong collar on unwanted behaviors that we're still using as management only (even in the house which I fear will cause injury) which is why we called Lisa. We're already on a path to no leash indoors with a 6 month old goldendoodle.
