Greta is an 8 year old German Shepherd who loves squeaky toys, balls, kids, traveling, camping and hiking. Her best tricks are “leave it” and jumping through a hula-hoop. Greta is alert in the home and was very distracted on leash walks. Her mom and dad wanted her to have better recall for her safety. She is, sweet…

Dookie is a very sweet 4 year old black Lab/Shepherd mix, who is aggressive around other dogs, especially when he is on a leash. We started working with Lisa in October 2013 and I immediately noticed a big improvement. We live in the North Hills, so it’s quite a hike to get to the South Hills for classes,…

Rae is an English Pointer mix who was adopted in August 2012. She’s about 77 pounds and is very stubborn for me, much more so than for my husband. We also have a Collie mix and a black Lab. One of the issues we had with Rae was finding her position in the “pecking order”…
