Kind Words for Recall for a Meatball

“I'm a certified dog trainer myself but I still enrolled my own puppy in Lizzy's "Recall for a Meatball" online course.

Lizzy's class materials were fun, interesting and so beautiful and colorful (each a work of art). Her lessons and homework were clear and simple. It was easy to pass on the info to my husband. The remote sessions were full of laughter and support as we all shared our dogs' antics. The best part though: this stuff WORKS! And you could not have a more sympathetic, encouraging trainer on your side than Lizzy. She knows the science and animal learning theory behind what she teaches; but she packages the information in such a delightful way.

I routinely recommend Lizzy's course to the students in my puppy classes. Do yourself a favor and sign up for 5 weeks of joy and effective training simultaneously!”

Triumphant Teens

wednesday 3/5/25 at 7 p.m. EST

Adolescent dogs can be challenging! If you're struggling with your "teen" dog's behavior-- the bad decisions they make, the training they seem to have forgotten-- this course is for you! Triumphant Teens supports you and your dog with management, training, enrichment, and exercise strategies for living your best life together during this phase.

  • Week 1 is an overview of canine adolescence, what to look for, and how to build patience and compassion for ourselves and our dogs during this season.

  • In Week 2, we'll explore what motivates your dog and how to compete with the ever-distracting world your adolescent dog is discovering.

  • Week 3 explores using enrichment and training to burn excess mischief-inducing energy while meeting our dogs' needs!

  • In Week 4, we'll discuss the benefits of ongoing socialization during adolescent developmental changes, including play style, choosing appropriate play settings and playmates, and how to accept and understand behavioral changes in your "teen" dog.

  • In our final week of class, I'll help you think through real-life scenarios, including when to use management, training, or some combination. We'll also revisit how to prioritize training goals when you're feeling stressed by your teen dog.

Kind Words for Triumphant Teens

“Having an adolescent dog can be a weird and maddening experience. As a first-time puppy owner, this was an exceptional resource to learn more, and commiserate, about this unique time in a dog’s life. The course materials are incredibly useful (and beautiful), and the weekly sessions provided a much-needed outlet for discussion and encouragement. Lizzy is a present and wonderful instructor, and she’s developed an incredibly thoughtful course on how to navigate this period with grace, good humor, and patience.”

  • "Highly recommend!"

    “We’ve taken two classes with Lizzy now and I highly recommend both of them! Her “Recall for a Meatball” has really firmed up our dog’s recall abilities. Her “Triumphant Teens” class was a mind-changer when it came to trying to understand what’s going on with my pup and how to help her navigate some of our challenges.

    Having a reactive rescue who can’t really attend in-person traditional training classes means we have to find the best online resources. Lizzy’s classes were fun, informative and definitely paying off. We love her!”

  • "We saw visible progress with our husky!"

    The tips and techniques were all great—from high-value treat suggestions, environmental considerations, to helpful equipment. But the class' biggest value prop was the supportive environment and Lizzy's targeted advice. She also offered "office hours" where you can schedule time before or after class to walk through a difficult situation.

    Over the weeks, we found ourselves actively looking forward to each session, eagerly sharing our (and listening to others') challenges. It was a very encouraging setup—and we never felt like we lagged behind. Importantly, we saw visible progress with our husky! Towards the final week, she came to us when called WHILE in the presence of other dogs—given how playful and dog-obsessed she is, I'll take that as a win.

  • "An incredibly thoughtful course..."

    Having an adolescent dog can be a weird and maddening experience. As a first-time puppy owner, Team Teen was an exceptional resource to learn more, and commiserate, about this unique time in a dog's life.

    The course materials are incredibly useful (and beautiful), and the weekly sessions provided a much-needed outlet for discussion, and encouragement, with other teen dog guardians. Lizzy is a present and wonderful instructor, and she's developed an incredibly thoughtful course on how to navigate this period with grace, good humor, and patience. I would highly recommend this course for anyone with a teen dog!

Online Class FAQs

  • No problem! Each class session is recorded and uploaded to our classroom area, where you can watch it when you're ready.

  • Yes! Any family members or primary caretakers are welcome to join the live class sessions and watch the recordings. Involving everyone in the home helps your dog get it “right.”

  • You don't have to train your dog during our live class sessions! Students who want coaching from me can schedule office hours, tag me in videos on IG, or email me videos.

  • You don't have to worry about falling behind! Even if you haven't trained all the steps that week, it's still worth coming to class to ask questions, hear what comes next, get moral support, and hear some great stories!
