Lisa Yoshikawa Ullery Gallegos
Lisa adopted her first dog and was disappointed with the outdated dog training methods she was taught. She then learned from trainers who used science-backed force-free methods and was surprised at how quickly her dog learned.
Training Philosophy
Lisa's training philosophy is based on collaboration and positive reinforcement. She believes that dogs learn best when they are working with their owners, not against them. She uses force-free methods that are fun and engaging for both dogs and their owners.

Customer Reviews
"Lisa is the most wonderful dog trainer! We are SO grateful for her and all her help. We started training with Lisa with our puppy, and with her training we now have a wonderfully trained dog! We are truly overjoyed. Lisa helped train our dog, Peaches, beyond our expectations. We were feeling a bit hopeless before Lisa came, but now Peaches is fully potty trained, she's a great walker, knows so many commands, and plays well with other dogs! We are so thankful for Lisa, and we always look forward to seeing her. She has the most wonderful personality and is a true joy to work with."

We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
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.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
