Lisa has been working with dogs for the past 8 years, and professionally for the past 5 years. Before becoming involved in training, she has been heavily involved with the Long Beach based Live Love Animal Rescue. She has fostered and/or trained many of the dogs that have been a part of LLAR! Lisa graduated from CSULB in 2011 with a degree in Education and loves to bring her teaching expertise to the table when working with the human side of the dog-human relationship. She has studied under renowned trainers Cheri Lucas, Brian Agnew, and Jo Stanford to help develop and hone her dog training skills. As a Great Dane owner, she has a soft spot for big dogs, but also loves helping small dog owners learn how to transform their little one's behavior!
