Lisa's Nosy Puppers Dog Training

My wife Olivia and I worked with Lisa many years ago, and she was fantastic. Her knowledge and passion for dogs were incredible. She used positive-reinforcement methods based on Pavlov’s theory — the idea that dogs learn through association. In simple terms, when a dog does something right and immediately receives something positive, the behavior becomes stronger. Which is a really effective! I still remember her teachings for example the “3 Ds” — distance, duration, and distraction. Much love Alex!

I took my German Shepherd puppy to train with Lisa in her group class last year. I was impressed by her approach to beginning obedience sessions. My reason was not only to train my young dog, but to also socialize her around other puppies and strangers. Given how challenging it’s been with the pandemic, her class was perfect for basic obedience training. Although my puppy was fearful and somewhat reactive, Lisa was gentle yet consistent with her lessons. Her feedback was honest and direct. We were also given lessons to practice at home. From Lisa’s training I was able to continue in other obedience classes and sports with confidence as my dog matured. I would highly recommend Lisa for training classes!

Lisa is hands down the best trainer I could ever ask for. She has taken my rambunctious miniature pinscher in since he was a very young pup and helped me grow him. What I like most is she teaches the owners to take responsibility of their own relationships by teaching the owners how to train and not solely focused on her teaching the dogs. My Huey loves Lisa! And so does all her students!

I inherited my dog Jojo (a crazy pug )after my brother passed away from cancer. Jojo was alot to deal with. Peeing in the house, barking, and chewing everything. I thought I was going to have to find him another home which really saddened me because my brother would have wanted him to be taken care of. I tried a trainer in Vallejo who did mostly E collars but his behavior didn't improve. I called around and another trainer thought Lisa would be a good fit. He was right. Jojo did 9 months of training and his behavior dramatically improved. Hes still pretty high energy but I feel confident that I can keep him. Lisa can be though but she is great and I'd recommend her to anyone.

I can't say enough good things about Lisa! When we adopted our husky rescue, we quickly realized that he had some serious behavior issues that we didn't know how to address. We were at our wits' end and considering rehoming him, until we found Lisa. From the very first class, she put us at ease and gave us the tools we needed to work with our dog. Over the course of four progressive training programs, Lisa helped us train our dog and improve his behavior in ways we never thought possible. Her approach is firm but gentle, and she clearly knows what she's doing. Thanks to Lisa, we are now much more confident and educated dog owners, and our dog is a completely different animal. He's well-behaved, obedient, and a joy to be around. We're are now gearing up to take the good canine citizen tes
