Force-free training, behavior modification, and coaching for dogs and their people

I offer in-person and virtual sessions. If you are outside of my in-person service area, we can “meet” via Zoom to work through your challenges with your dog and talk about goals you hope to reach. My in-person service area includes Worcester, Holden, and Shrewsbury.

We’ll celebrate your progress thus far, review and go over the next steps in training, and troubleshoot any problems you’ve run into. I will address any questions you have about management, and revisit goals. As always, post session you’ll receive any relevant handouts, notes, and homework.

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.

“Lizzy's passion for what she does is so evident, and it's a privilege to get to work with her. I would recommend her 1:1 training without hesitation. A bonus - we feel pretty cool when our 5 month old pup has better recall than almost every other dog we know! Not only is it exciting to have our dog listen to us, it's even more exciting to watch her learn and respond to techniques so quickly (she likes to succeed, too!).

Five stars is an understatement! Thanks, Lizzy!”

Scheduling a session is simple!

  • Choose Your Session

    Scroll up to choose your session type. If you’re new here, you'll start with the initial 60-minute virtual consultation. After that, you can book a la carte sessions or buy cost-saving training packages.

  • Pick a Time

    Next, you’ll be prompted to select a time that fits your schedule. If you choose a package, you’ll be prompted to schedule your sessions after you purchase.

  • Watch Your Dog Grow

    Now I begin the process of supporting you and your dog and addressing your training and behavior goals going at your dog’s pace. We’ll use efficient, effective, science-based protocols and incremental, force-free training plans.

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 this is not a call where we’ll do any specific training, but rather 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.
