Trainer to Trainer Consults

Liza regularly consults with trainers and other pet professionals on variety of topics, including:

  • Problem solving specific cases

  • Managing complex cases

  • Understanding sporting breeds and dogs with big feelings about hunting and the environment

  • Solutions for dogs who struggle to eat, or who are over excited by food

  • Expanding their understanding of exercise and enrichment needs

  • Managing and modifying toy guarding and obsession

as well as other topics where they have expertise.

“The dog behavior field today is a challenging one. With “experts” on every corner and YouTube channel and dichotomous trainer wars to wade through it can be hard to find a cabinet of professionals you can trust to check your work. Two things that get lost in the social media-fueled war zones are generic dog knowledge (a Spinone looks like a scent hound but they sure don’t act like one!) and medical liaison skills (when is the last time you reviewed a client dog’s genetic panel for a specific allele linked to a painful under-diagnosed condition?). When a case isn’t going right but the trainer is skilled you can usually trace the problem back to one of those two areas and Liza brings both of those things to the table..”
