Quality Dog Training
Hi! I'm Lisa Blue. I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP).
As a KPA CTP, I teach and train using the force-free and fear-free principles and techniques that have been taught in the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behavior (KPA). Positive reinforcement training uses a reward (treats, praise, toys, anything the dog finds rewarding) for desired behaviors. Because the reward communicates to your pet that they just made the correct choice, they will be more likely to repeat the behavior. Positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog's behavior.

Lisa Blue, Head Trainer
Hi! I am Lisa Blue, owner and head trainer here at Blue Dog Ranch. I have trained animals since I was five years old. From hosting neighborhood pet talent shows in my backyard as a child, to training animals for national advertising campaigns today, I have always had a passion and connection with animals.
My career has been centered around animals. My training experience is diverse and includes a variety of species including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, ducks and raptors. Drawing from my work experience in zoos and animal rescue and rehabillitation, I am an advocate for positive reinforcement-based training. I have trained certified trick dogs, professional animal actors, wildlife education ambassadors, as well as accomplished canine athletes. I live on a small farm in Gilbert, AZ, along with four dogs, two cats, horses, a mini donkey, and pet chickens. I enjoy trail riding, hiking, photography, dog agility, and of course, animal training.
I am committed to providing your pet with love and compassion and respect. Your beloved companion will only experience positive training techniques, NEVER training methods that induce feelings of stress or fear. Each pet learns at different speeds, and rewards that work for one might not work for another. Your pet's individualized training plan will be developed specifically around their needs and abilities.
