Effective, efficient, rewards-based training, behavior modification, and coaching for dogs and their people
Based in Worcester, Massachusetts, I work with dogs and their people throughout Central Massachusetts in private one-on-one sessions, as well as with clients across the country and beyond via Zoom.
If you're outside my in-person service area, we can meet online to work through your dog's fear, reactivity, or aggression and build new skills together. I'll create a plan tailored to your goals and your dog. Many training and behavior concerns can be addressed very effectively through virtual coaching.
My regular in-person service area includes Worcester, Holden, Millbury, Auburn, Shrewsbury, and parts of Paxton.
I also offer a limited number of in-person appointments outside my regular service area for clients within Worcester County. Additional travel fees apply, and a minimum commitment of five sessions is required. Please contact me before purchasing to confirm availability for your location.

You can use this time to ask me questions about my training methodologies, how to book sessions, buy packages, or sign up for classes. Please note that we won’t do any specific training; rather, this is an opportunity for you to ask questions, get to know me, and see if we’re a good fit!
“Lizzy is a gem. Not only does she show a tremendous amount of love for her own dogs, in her training, she shows compassion, knowledge, patience, and kindness towards her students who are working with their dogs. The same question may be asked over and over and Lizzy will patiently go over the steps to help support success in training.”
