Description

Specialties

In home pet dog training for you and your animal companion. Focusing on force-​free reward based training solutions and creating a positive experience for you and your dog.

History

Established in 2012.

I have taken residence in the Bloomington/​Normal area for over a third of my life. However, I hail from a country small in size but Great in history. I am fortunate to share my life here with my wonderful husband, Peter along with our two fun loving Belgian Malinois, Copper and Penny.

Growing up there was always a dog in the family. The dogs we had in my childhood home had rock-​solid temperaments. At times as a child I would make mistakes, as children often do, and was corrected by our dogs!

Just as the saying goes that kids will be kids, dogs, too will be dogs. As will most all animals! As an animal trainer I know better than I did as a child. I have a passion for helping your animal friends (and my own) understand the behaviors we expect of them.

Are you struggling with an animal companion that does not understand your commands? Contact me, today!

Lisa P.

Business Owner

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-​KA), a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA-​CTP), a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, as well as an AKC Canine Good Citizen and Puppy S.T.A.R. Evaluator. I am also a dog performance events Judge (AKC Rally, UKC Rally and CDSP Obedience).

Animal training is a constantly evolving area of research where we’ve only scratched the surface. As such, I am an enormous proponent for continuing education for ALL pet trainers.

As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a KPA Certified Partner at the Premium level, I am required to participate regularly in further education. I LOVE IT!

There are so many amazing minds out there and part of my job description is to listen and absorb their terrific research and methods.

In turn, I pass this knowledge along to my clients and their animal family members. I will show you how to apply new techniques immediately and practically, specifically geared toward your animal companions.
