What my clients are saying…
“When I learned my dog Morris had separation anxiety, I was a wreck. I said—and meant—that I felt like I had ruined my life by adopting him. I loved him so much, but I was also beginning to feel resentment toward him, because it felt like I had to choose between my own mental health and my dog’s wellbeing—like one of us had to suffer, and I had to decide who.
Then I met Liz.
I’m now in my ninth week of dedicated training, and I *cannot believe* the progress I’m seeing in Morris. He has gone from anxious whining, panting, and pacing to being a sleepy puddle on the couch during my increasingly long absences.
I also can’t believe the progress I’m seeing in myself, and in my relationship with Morris. The safer he feels during absences, the more ease I feel about leaving him, and the more joyful our bond can be.
This training, and Liz’s support in particular, has unquestionably been worth the investment. It has been the difference between having a clear plan and feeling lost; between having a partner and feeling totally alone.
If you’ve made it to this review page, I imagine you might be feeling the way I did when I started: desperate, overwhelmed, and unable to imagine ever feeling differently. I’m so sorry you’re in this position at all—but I am SO GLAD you’ve found your way to Liz and Pet Positive Training. You’ve got this. And Liz has got your back!”

“We have loved working with Liz to help our dog Vigo overcome isolation anxiety. Before starting training with them, we had tried months of unsuccessful anxiety training on our own. When we first started training, Vigo would be OK for 18 seconds and would be super alert waiting for us. We can now leave him for hours and he is relaxed. We can leave the house without the added stress and can enjoy our time out knowing he’s calm. Thank you, Liz for training all three of us!”

“We've been working with Liz since the pre-pandemic days, when they taught us polite play skills in a doggy socialization group. Their expertise in separation anxiety has been life-changing for my little guy (and really educational for me!). Since working with Liz, Bowie's comfort level while being left alone has gone up significantly. I see progress every week, I know we're in good, caring hands, and I have no doubt that we'll get to our goals with Liz's guidance!”

“Our dog has crippling separation anxiety. Liz gave us the tools we need to slowly work on it. They held our hands through the entire process and even helped us set up our own long-term training goals. They are a wonderful trainer and really worked with us to personalize a plan when all of the usual techniques simply did not work on our unique dog. Liz genuinely cares about all of their training subjects and really wants them to succeed.”
