Lisa B. Schroeder
Lisa grew up in a home with multiple pets and always knew her children would be raised with dogs. She became a stay-at-home mom with a husband working long days in NYC and three small children, plus two energetic dogs. This led her to realize her passion for dog training after taking basic obedience classes for her dogs.
Training Philosophy
Lisa's training philosophy is based on a positive reinforcement approach and all methods are humane, efficient and results oriented. She is well versed in the science that underlies the principals of animal learning. She uses positive reinforcement and behavioral modification methods that are backed by current scientific research and animal training theory.

Customer Reviews

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
