About this trainer

Rover Rehab Dog Training

Lyz became interested in training after adopting her first rescue dog in 2014. After initially being introduced to training methods that mainly utilized corrections for ‘bad’ behaviors along with rewards for ‘good’ ones, Lyz’s curiosity grew and she began pursuing more in-depth education about animal behavior and the science of learning. As she discovered all of the benefits of modern humane training methods, she ditched the correction-based training and became certified as a positive reinforcement and fear-free trainer!
