Introduction: 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 I awesome. She has helped my dog over the course of a month learn to sit, lay down, stay, and we are still working with her to drop things she isn't suppose to have. My lil pup knew nothing haha. Now she is more well behaved and just a better dog over all. We are going to continue to work with her and I anticipate that over the next month she will get everything down perfectly. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for help training their animals. Plus she comes to you and does not charge an arm and a leg. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lisa has been great! My plans changed and we found we needed to find a new home for our pups. Without having even made it to our first training session she offered to help me find them a better home by offering one free training session to the adopters. She's gone above and beyond any expectations. Though I never got to see her training in action her devotion to making sure pets have good loving homes is amazing and love is all you need when it comes to fur babies. I can't thank her or sing her praises enough!

Very helpful getting our overly energetic Lab-Shepherd mix puppy to listen. We are a work in progress as owners but L&S Pets has been very patient and fun to work with.

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.
