Help is on the way!
Force-free training, behavior modification, and coaching for dogs and their people
I offer in-person and virtual sessions. If you are outside my service area, we can “meet” via Zoom to work through challenges with your dog and focus on goals you hope to achieve. My in-person service area includes Worcester, Holden, Millbury, Auburn, and Shrewsbury.
Feel strongly about working together? I’ve got you covered! For an additional per-session travel fee and a package commitment of five or more sessions, I can travel outside this area. (Please confirm your location with me before purchasing!)

(This session is prepaid, non-refundable, and good for six months from purchase.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not taking separation anxiety cases at this time.

Why work with me?
-
Empathy
Navigating frustrating or scary behavior with your dog can feel challenging and heartbreaking. I come to each session with empathy, kindness, and compassion.
-
Transparency
During our sessions, you’re welcome to ask questions about my proposed training methods. I always want you and your dog to feel safe and comfortable.
-
Credentials
Although dog training is unregulated in the United States, I prioritize maintaining certifications and continuing education to bring you best practices and peace of mind.
Scheduling a session is simple!

Not sure what you need?
Book a 20-minute, no-cost discovery Zoom call.
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. I love her graphics and organizational skills that pull the lessons together without overwhelming students, like me.”
