Lisa,

Thanks to your classes, Moose is a pleasure to live with.

I never thought we’d be able to say that!

You’ve done an excellent job of clearing up all the myths that are out there regarding dog behavior, and we appreciate that you are always ready to share the latest and greatest information that you’ve learned with us.

Every time we come to a class we learn something new – and we all have a great time!

Just a note to let you know what Tucker’s been up to. He was given the Rising Star award at Northern Westchester Hospital. There were over eighty awards given to nurses, doctors, administrators, technicians, etc., Tucker was the only dog (first in the history of the hospital).

After we finished with your class we continued on with daily practice… Then… We went down to the ASPCA and passed the Delta evaluations. I expect that we will be starting visits to Ronald McDonald House in a few weeks.

I wanted to thank you for all the help and encouragement you gave us. We could not have done it without you.

One thing that impressed me the most about Lisa’s classes is that there are no “stars” (either human or pet). Everyone participates – with the same goal – to help the other humans and pets understand and enjoy each other a little better.

After just two classes with both of my dogs in the same class, the change was obvious to me and to all who visited our home. The dogs’ demeanors changed drastically for the better – toward guests and toward each other. And the best part – no more pulling on leashes and no more need for the Gentle Leader.

Lisa’s knowledge and intuitiveness of dog behavior was readily apparent from the first class and from the respect she gets from the outset from the owners of and from the dogs. More importantly, Lisa makes the class fun for all, and heaven knows, we humans sometimes have to chill.

Thanks to Lisa, Cobber and I passed the Delta evaluation (although I’m still peeved that Cobber received a higher score than I did) and we look forward to doing visits in conjunction with the HEART Program. And, time permitting, I will be back in the Spring for the Delta class with Dodger.

Kinsey was 4 months old when we signed up for puppy class.

We were so fortunate that Lisa Edwards was the trainer. We still attend classes with Lisa!

Kinsey (now 5) and Shelby (two years younger than Kinsey) have been in Lisa’s classes since puppy-hood and still attend the ever popular and fun Distract-A-Doggie classes. We were thrilled when Lisa started her “Three Dogs Training” business.

The “girls” love going to school. Kinsey trained with Lisa to be a pet therapy Delta dog before she was one year old. And although she didn’t pass the test the first time, she did earn her CGC certificate and through more training, perseverance, maturity and patience, she is now a Delta therapy dog, and is great! Shelby, however, has no such interest. Her favorite song is “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.”

The classes are for us humans also. We keep going to help us do the right thing for our pups. Through Lisa’s guidance, sense of humor, creativity and good judgment our girls have blossomed into fine doggies and we have blossomed into fine humans for our doggies.

Hi Lisa,

I wanted to thank you for such a great class yesterday – I talked about it all day!

I wish it had been videotaped – I hope I can recreate the focus and connection Jackson and I had – both in the future with him and then with my future dogs.

We were “in the zone!”
