DAVE & POPI
Grateful Pups could not have been a better experience. We opted to have our dog boarded for a week and day training for a second week. We are so pleased with the results! Our dog was terrible on the leash, barked at everyone she passed, jumped on people when they came over and counter surfed when she was left alone. All of these issues were addressed, and she continues to make progress in these areas! I was amazed when we took her into Woodstock to walk through stores, and she would lay at my feet while I was paying at the register with strangers walking by! The facilities are immaculate, everything is perfectly clean, and smells fresh! The play yard is large and meticulous. Lisa is very professional, and our dog was thrilled to see her every morning! Lisa is thorough, she kept our dog late when she felt she needed extra attention, and she always went the extra mile. I am honestly amazed at the progress our dog made in areas I assumed were hopeless. Highly recommend!

STEPHANIE & PANDA
Lisa completely reprogrammed our dog's brain in record time. After 5-months of torturous 5 am wakings, constant demand barking and peeing all over our house, we were on the brink of rehoming her. Thanks to Lisa's magic, we now have a remarkably obedient pup and calm has been restored in our family.
ALLISON & WINNIE
I had the best experience with Grateful Pups. My dog Winnie was anxious and fearful and exhibiting some aggression and guarding of me and the home. She spent two weeks with Lisa and has made huge strides! She is so much more confident and comfortable and has done amazing in previously scary situations. For example Winnie was really struggling with visitors coming to the house. Since her training we had a family of 5 stay with us without incident. We are still working on it every day (as in I’m working on being consistent in the training) but I couldn’t be happier with the results of Lisa (and Winnie’s) work.
NOELE & CHEEZE
Our dog—Cheez—had been displaying some aggression and intense anxiety regardless of any previous training we had done. Through a friend, we heard of Grateful Pups and Lisa and decided to see if she’d be able to help. From the first time Lisa met Cheez for his evaluation, it was clear that she had the breadth of knowledge that’d we’d been seeking in a dog trainer. She was extremely communicative in what she thought Cheez needed and how she would approach his program. We decided to go with a 3-week board-and-train and knew we were leaving Cheez in very capable hands! Lisa was very communicative throughout this period, and watching out little guy learn and grow through the Grateful Pups Instagram story was often the highlight of our days. We couldn’t be happier with the progress that our dog has made—he’s become much more obedient, confident, and we feel we’re able to provide a safer and happier environment with him because of the work Lisa did. Couldn’t recommend Lisa any stronger, and if we need any further dog training in the future we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!
JULIE & LEO
Lisa was nothing short of a miracle worker with our dog and us! She was an amazing educator and after two weeks, we feel like we have a new dog. Not only is he better behaved, but he is calm.

RICKY & BOO
Grateful Pups has trained all 3 of my dogs with excellent results. Most recently, my dog Boo was e-collar trained to work on her extreme anxiety. Before her training, Boo was not able to meet people, be around a lawn mower or vacuum without having meltdowns. Lisa's training instilled rules and structure into Boo's day. It has taught her how to deal with being uncomfortable and remain calm in what had been extremely stressful situations. I cannot recommend Lisa's training programs enough.
VICTORIA & TULULA
Thanks to Lisa our dog Talula went from an anxiety ridden, neurotic, uncontrollable, 125 lb monster dog to a wonderfully confident and well behaved good citizen. Lisa transformed Talula and has transformed our life as a result. We are so very grateful and can not recommend her training program enough.
CERRI ANNE & OLLIE
I can’t speak highly enough about our experience with Lisa! I have a whole new pup now, and that is really saying something because I adopted a rescue dog (Ollie) who was already 9 months old and had serious anxiety. Working for 5 sessions with Lisa was like being able to breathe again, after being underwater for the first 3 weeks of adopting Ollie. In just 5 one on one sessions, Lisa trained me as Ollie’s caretaker, so that now we have wonderful leash walking, better behavior with other dogs, and a much calmer happier pup overall- and pup guardian! Best of all, Lisa goes the extra mile to check in during the week on how you’re doing and what specific issues come up. I give her all the stars and all the thanks, for giving Ollie and me a “new leash on life”!
