What our clients are saying

 "We adopted 2 cattle dogs that each came with different types of fear reactivity and anxiety. We chose Lisa as our trainer because fear free/force free methods are in alignment with our values. Equally important, this approach is exactly what our dogs needed to build confidence and counter condition their fear responses. By building their confidence, we were able to teach our dogs redirection and better coping mechanisms which means we’re all able to relax and enjoy walks and have family over to our house.

Lisa’s kindness, compassion, creativity, and intuitive approach with animals and the humans who love them are why she will be our trainer as long as we have dogs- which will be for life!" 

Donna from Mesa 

"We have loved our training sessions with Lisa! We did individual training sessions and group sessions with her and were able to see so much improvement in our training! I have two small dogs that are very anxious and would bark and pull on the leash on our walks. Lisa was so helpful in teaching us different ways to improve our walks using positive reinforcement! 

She is so sweet and my dogs love her! 😊 I would definitely recommend Blue Dog Ranch! "

 Makell from Mesa

"Lisa is absolutely amazing! She was recommended to us by our vet for our dog, Flower. Flower was a very timid stray that we adopted and quickly learned was suffering from separation anxiety. From the first time we spoke on the phone, I knew we were in great hands! Through Lisa's support and guidance, Flower went from not being able to tolerate being alone for seconds to being able to be safely alone for hours! Lisa has been so patient with all of our questions and has helped guide us to being better dog owners. Flower has truly blossomed into a happy, confident dog and we have Lisa to thank for that!"

 "I just wanted to say to you how much I value the time Kota Pearl and I spent with you training. Even though it was over a year ago. She just got her nails trimmed by her Veterinarian and she laid on her side and was as calm as could be. There was a time I never dreamed that could be possible. 

Thank you so much. Your skill and expertise is unmatched! Your gentle way made all the difference and I'm just so grateful. 

Thank you!" 

Trista from Scottsdale

"Lisa Blue and Blue Dog Ranch are the Best! Lisa’s positive reinforcement training really works! Our dog learns and responds well with patience. time and consistency. 

Lisa’s love for dogs and all animals is evident in her training. She is compassionate, caring, and understanding. We are most appreciative of her willingness to work with our schedule.  Thank you Lisa and Blue Dog Ranch for helping us raise a fun loving manageable double doodle."

Julie from Mesa

"I can't say enough great things about Lisa! She worked with me and my wild heeler pup, Jazzy, and I learned so much from her. She showed me how to redirect unwanted behaviors in a positive, effective way, like stopping my dog from jumping on people when they walk in, preventing leash lunging, improving recall through fun games, and so many other helpful tips and tricks.

Lisa truly loves dogs and genuinely wants to help. She brings such a calm, peaceful energy to every session and is just a sweet, wonderful person to be around. She’s also incredibly flexible, willing to meet you wherever your pup struggles most, which was so helpful.

We absolutely love Lisa and couldn’t recommend her more!"

"My husband and I highly recommend Lisa to train your pups.  She came to our rescue just in time!  We adopted 2 rescues, Reese and Rosco after always having golden retrievers.

She explained the difference in the breeds, their different characteristics and helped us adjust to their many quirks and mannerisms.

Lisa has such a special love for fur babies in general.  She is thoughtful and caring and always provides so much interaction with us and the pups and guides us to having a better bond with our pets.

She is very educated, not only did our pups get training, love and attention but we gained a new friend as well!"
