She specializies in puppy and beginner obedience with an additional focus on dogs with fear and unsocialization issues. Lisa began her career in 2003 as an intern with K9 Insight Obedience working alongside Pia McGovern, a specialist in fear & aggression in dogs. Lisa's approach takes into consideration each puppy, adolescent and adult dog is different. Lisa has a unique gift for understanding the subtle body language of our canine companions, which helps her to connect with each dog at its individual level. Lisa will teach you what you need to know to do the same for your animal. Lisa will also make sure you have a chance to apply what you are learning throughout the process.
