We would highly recommend Lisa for all your dog training needs. We had a great experience with Lisa, working through Rocco’s big emotions as a rescue dog! We did both group and private classes together. Where we always left our sessions feeling informed and more confident. Rocco has made so much progress over the 6 months we spent working with Lisa. Thanks again Lisa!

Classes at Living Better Dog Training teach your dog (and you) valuable life lessons while being truly fun for your dog. The lessons are much more practical than traditional obedience schools; your dog will of course learn all the basics (sit, stay, down, etc), but they will also learn to use their brains, think through puzzles independently, develop confidence, and apply the things they learned in and out of the classroom. As an owner, you'll also learn how to read your dogs' body language, make walks more interesting for your pups, and more. The school is always very clean, and there is equipment for confidence & muscle building that is incorporated in class. There is always a Q&A portion of each class so owners can receive help with anything they might be struggling with. Lisa truly cares about each pup. All dogs can benefit from these classes.

Our family adopted a 1.5 year old mexican street dog over a year ago, and Lisa has helped us understand her behaviours and reactions. With Lisa's guidance, we've been able to bring out our dog's best, making her a sweet, obedient, and polite pet. Lisa's use of positive reinforcement, solid understanding of canine behaviour, and ability to spot the unconscious mistakes we make as handlers has been much appreciated. Recommend highly if you're looking for a trainer who will help you become a better pet "parent".
