Dogs are my passion and my love.

Pet care experience

Throughout the years I have delved into animal behavior and training, specifically dog behavior/training. I am a huge fanatic of clicker training and positive reinforcement. The relationship you hold with a dog is a partnership. Finding a line of communication is key. I have volunteered with the Karen Pryor Clicker Training Academy as well as being a foster parent to many canines. The last 3-4 years I have spent working at a veterinary clinic. I also have a bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences from Purdue University. Not only is my animal knowledge extensive, I also have a firm grasp on medical issues and how to manage them in addition to the ability to train basic behaviors. I have two dogs of my own. The first, Charlie, I raised from a puppy, adopted from a shelter. He is now seventy five pounds and going on nine years old! His vocabulary, due to our bond, communication, and training is extensive. He knows: sit, down, off, shake, back, leave it, stay, speak, around, bang! dead dog!, touch, kisses your cheek by touching his nose to it, cover (he puts his paw over his own nose), and a few others. The second, Chumley, came along while I worked at the Veterinarian Clinic. He came in abandoned, with two broken hips. He now runs like you wouldn't believe! My little miracle! Chumley is around thirty five pounds and what I call a little "fluff-n-stuffins!" Due to my personal en devours along with my experience working with a veterinarian, I am confident in my knowledge and abilities in regards to our beloved canines. I am competent in administering medications as well as caring for the geriatric dogs as well. All in all, I have a long history working with dogs and simply love them.

Lisa is very friendly, sweet, and understanding person. My two dogs were taken care of very well with her gentle hands while I’m out of town. I really appreciate her help.

Lisa was great! Very inviting. Great communication. Definitely knows her stuff and respects any rules you have for your dog. I highly recommend as long as your dog is socialized and likes other dogs and people. I will rebook with her without hesitation!

Zoe was so happy at Lisa's that I wasn't sure she would come home with me! Lisa treated Zoe like one of her own - highly recommend!
