What people are saying.

  • “Lisa has been an absolute life-saver for our two dogs. Having big dogs, we couldn’t afford to get their training wrong. We knew when we added our second dog, a male lab puppy who is currently training as a service dog with Lisa, that we needed more help. We are so lucky to have found Lisa. She has turned our chaos into two perfectly behaved angels. Now, she is like a part of the family and we wouldn’t have it any other way!”

  • "Lisa is beyond amazing! I cannot begin to put into words how wonderful she is. We have hired her twice now to take care of our babies and both times I have been thoroughly impressed. She goes above and beyond to ensure that they are cared for. Lisa even sends updates and pictures which I absolutely love! Our dogs love her which is huge because we want to make sure they are comfortable. If you are looking for someone to care for your babies like you do and more, she is the person for the job! Prices are more than fair for what you receive. We will be hiring her again next year. Thank you again Lisa for taking care of our babies for us!"

  • It’s been great working with Lisa and my girls are learning lots of new things. We have recently starting using Lisa with Obedient Pampered Pets to work on some behavior issues with our oldest two girls and she’s so in tune with the dogs and their needs, as well as mine. As a small hobby based breeder of Golden’s, I need my dogs to be obedient and well trained and anytime there’s a stall or regression in training, I need to fix it immediately. Lisa has been helping me so much recently with that. She also stayed with my girls for a week while we went on vacation and I loved knowing they were in great hands and being spoiled! Usually they have went to kennels in the past and they usually are stressed somewhat when they first come home. It breaks my heart to see them so sad when we leave. This last time was so nice to come home to calm dogs, a clean house, and it made my vacation much more relaxing knowing they were well taken care of. She sent me daily updates and pictures and I knew my dogs were enjoying us being gone for the first time! Give her a try, you won’t be sorry!"

  • "Lisa did an amazing job dog sitting our boys, Rebel and Max. We have a unique situation where our dogs do not get along, and Rebel is a high-maintenance guy on top of that. Lisa was unfazed during our meet and greet, followed our instructions meticulously, and took excellent care of our guys while we were on our honeymoon. It made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing that our boys were in great hands. Usually after we return from a vacation, Rebel is a ball of anxiety, but this time he seemed really relaxed. Lisa even bought him his favorite toy, a tough chew shark! I cannot say enough about how appreciative we are to have found Lisa, she is the best!"

  • “Lisa has absolutely proven to me that the old saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is 100% false. My girls are 11 and 13- and Lisa has trained them better at this age than any dog trainer prior to her. I highly recommend her without hesitation to ANYONE looking for help with their 4-legged friends!.”

    — Marc H.

  • “Lisa has proven to our family that ANY dog can be a well-behaved “good dog” - not just certain breeds. We have one of the breeds notorious for being aggressive that people constantly assumed would harm them. Little did they know that our dog was just a hyper puppy but sweet as pie. Now everyone sees our dog for who he really is! Thank you Lisa for believing in our dog Joey (and in us!).”

  • "Lisa has an amazing way with dogs. She was able to help Pandora learn commands and tricks. She not only trains her but me too so that i can continue working with Pandora. Anytime i had a question or concern with Pandora she was always available to us. Pandora and i both highly recommend her."

    -Susan S.

  • "The training instructions and one on one sessions have turned my dog into a more docile, attentive dog. I cannot say enough how thankful I am that you were able to help us with her training. I would recommend you to anyone looking for dog training, thanks for everything!!!"

    -Chris M.

  • "We have a one-year-old Corgi who is a great dog but needed some training in manners and walking on the leash. Lisa to the rescue! Our sweet Gunner is now able to walk calmly on a leash and can even walk by other dogs without jumping or lunging to say “hello!” In addition, she helped us teach him how to leave our toddler’s small toys alone and keep his mind busy. I highly recommend Lisa if you’re in need of any type of training. She was professional, personable, and provided great results. "

    -Beth Z.

  • Hello! Lisa was amazing! We were able to leave and not stress knowing our fur babies were safe. Thank you!

  • I have known Lisa Sallee for over 10 years both professionally and personally. Over the last 5 years, I have turned to her without hesitation for watching my 2 dogs Maggie – puggle (16 years) & Elvis – ¾ Golden Retriever, ¼ Burmese Mountain Dog (7 years) at my home when I am out of town. Over the last year ½ , I also acquired an AKC Golden Retriever (Molly) and Lisa hand- held me during all of Molly’s puppy stages. She advised me on food, treats, collar, leash, bed, crate, lick pads, socialization, toys, dangerous plants, and foods, etc. She also taught Molly all the standard commands. Still working on jumping on people when they come over but from what I’ve studied on Goldens – this is so hard for them because they just get very excited to see people. All my dogs love to see Lisa. Her unconditional love for animals is remarkable. I also love the fact that she comes to my home and watches them vs. me having to board them. They are all much more comfortable being in their own environment. In addition, I always come home with mail on my table, house vacuumed and cleaned. I recommend Lisa highly for all your pet(s) needs. She is simply the best!

  • I am mom to Walter, a 150# bull mastiff. Wherever Walter wanted to go, he went. It became clear, I needed help! As Walter is my everything, just any old trainer was going to do. I interviewed several, and both wanted me to send Walter away for three to four weeks. He would be boarded and basically taught commands. And, I don't like that I couldn't be there. I also wanted someone to train Me as well as Walter, in our own surroundings. And, I wanted someone gentle, no pinch or shock collars, no yelling. A friend recommended Lisa. Lisa comes to your home. training is one on one and catered to individual needs. Side note, she know personalities of different breeds and what works with them. She is gentle and consistent. She takes time to explain why he behaves a certain way and how to curtail that behavior. Walter is just a year old, and seems calmer when he knows what you want him to do. When Lisa first met myself and Walter, she explained exactly what she was going to teach Walter and Me. I laughed out loud and said, "if he learns half of what you're telling me, I'll be happy !" Guess what, he has learned everything she said he would. Walter sits, stays, comes when called, goes to his 'place', walks so nicely on the leash- no pulling or tugging! He leaves things alone when told, and so much more. One aspect of Lisa's training that was particularly impressive is that, as part of Walters training, Lisa meets us in large public places, with the general public, to practice with lots of distractions. He is learning to sit and be polite when people approach him and want to pet him. He's also very calm in public places, and gets better each time. A dog the size of Walter needs to have manners and politeness both at home and in public. And, it's just really nice to have a dog that actually listens to me. I can't recommend Lisa enough! Lisa comes highly qualified and trained. As an added peace of mind, she's also a trained vet tech. Lastly, her prices are in line with the other trainers I spoke with. She is worth every penny!

  • Lisa is the best! It's no small feat watching two Great Danes & Lisa does it with ease. It helps that they claimed her as a best friend the moment she entered our house. We know that our girls are in good hands and having a little vacation of their own while we are away. She's great with any medications or special requests that we have with our dogs, and will do anything if it's best for the pups! Lisa doesn't stop at dogsitting. She often goes above and beyond, making sure our home is taken care of as well. Cannot recommend Lisa enough!

    -Kasey and Jessica

  • Lisa has watched my rescue dog, Kevin, and is amazing. She knows how to work with him and what he needs to listen and to calm down (he is pretty high strung!). She loves him, she loves ALL dogs and it shows in her work. She was made for this job!!

    -Naomi W.

  • I cannot second this enough! I'm pretty sure Hope loves Lisa Sallee more than us 🤣. Lisa has watched our zoo for overnights several times, and done drop in visits several times - including one time when we hadn't booked her but were gone and she volunteered to stop by. We went to Florida for a week and did not worry for a second because we knew our furry kids were in good hands. She has Hope trained much better than we ever expected or hoped for! She identified a potential health issue and had Hope at our vet immediately while we were out of town. If you need pet training, dog sitting, or drop ins, Lisa is the best! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me!

  • To all my dog people! If you need a pet sitter I highly recommend Lisa Sallee. She and I went to the same dog training school and she also does pet sitting! She watched my fur babies while we went to Florida and I didn’t worry about them one bit! She made sure to send lots of pictures and keep me updated. She even kept our house extra clean and had to go get Cojo some food when chewy failed to send it! I can’t thank her enough for taking care of them ❤️ If you need a pet sitter and don’t like boarding like me. Message her!

  • "Lisa has been training me and my dog, Ellie, since March, 2020. I was desperate and looking to potentially rehome Ellie. Lisa contacted me and offered to help us with her skills. She was truly a gift and changed the way I worked with my dog and my approach. It has made us successful and given me hope. I no longer think of rehoming Ellie. Ellie is a 130 pound Great Pyrenees who I adopted from the animal shelter at two years old. She is a wonderful dog but has some challenges that I had to learn to manage and embrace. We had worked with two other trainers in the past but still experienced difficulties. Lisa came and showed us a new way to approach the training and was patient with both of us. Her understanding nature and kind consistency made all the difference. I feel confident that she will continue to succeed in her career and in assisting others as they work to be successful with their large, challenging dogs. It has been a pleasure to work with Lisa. She is proactive and efficient in her plan of work. Her knowledge of dog training and animal behavior is deep and well based. Her people skills are equally well versed. It is for these reasons that I offer a very high recommendation for Lisa Sallee. She is highly qualified and her empathy and abilities will truly be an asset to your organization. Please feel free to contact me if I can provide any additional details regarding Lisa."
