About Us

A woman with blue hair is smiling for the camera.

Owner, Lisa Long has been training dogs for over 17 years. She is a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and is a certified canine nutritionist. Lisa is well versed in nearly all methods of dog training, from clicker training to remote collars, and finds that each has its place.

She has worked with hundreds of dogs of all different breeds and has personally owned Golden Retrievers, Weimaraner's, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Bullmastiffs and now a French Bulldog named Nugget.

Nugget often accompany Lisa on trainings and is great at teaching other dogs how to behave. It’s important as a trainer to be skilled in many different training techniques and to know how to use them effectively. More importantly, knowing what method is right for you and your dog is key. Every dog is different and will respond differently to training. She is always attending seminars and continuing her education to stay on top of new methods and to better her skills.

“Sincerely mind blowing! With a broken back, I was unable to even walk our German Shepherd, Bear, 10 feet to the car without fear of him pulling me to the ground!

After working with Lisa for a week, I took Bear on a half mile loose leash walk with a perfect ‘heel’ (even tempting him with a rabbit on purpose!). I sincerely can not be more impressed. Thank you Lisa for changing our lives.”
