Lisa Edwards, the founder, emphasizes a training philosophy known as LIMA, which stands for Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive. Her approach aims to balance boundaries, requested behaviors, and freedoms. Lisa’s training methods involve positive reinforcement and a keen emphasis on understanding each dog’s individual capabilities.
Her belief is that every dog can become a good family member and a canine good citizen, irrespective of their aspirations for competition or therapy work. Lisa also specializes in addressing various behavioral issues including fear-aggression, dog-dog conflicts, socialization challenges, issues between dogs and children, and other related concerns.
Her classes are designed not only to educate owners on teaching their dogs, but also to equip them with skills to prevent future behavioral issues. As a Certified Pet Dog Trainer and a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, Lisa brings a wealth of experience to the table, boasting thousands of hours of classroom instruction and behavioral consulting.
