How To Speak Dog is the gateway class for Lisa’s program. The 5 week course includes Intro to Dogs in week One. Weeks 2-4 are for the owner to learn how to properly use marker words to communicate to their dog the exact moment when they are right or wrong. Dogs do not speak any language, so this helps them learn their behaviors. Week 5 is to condition in the markers to the dogs. You can come to this class before your puppy has completed their vaccines!! You will learn how to communicate with your dog in class and can then go home and practice in a safe environment. 5 weeks, $175

What People Are Saying About How To Speak Dog!

We highly recommend Lisa’s Nosy Puppers Dog Training marker class. Lisa takes the time to provide a strong foundation of markers (yes, no, good and more) that are essential for your dog’s ongoing training and obedience. The approach ensures that both you and your dog (but mostly you!) understand the markers that will make future training sessions more effective and enjoyable. Lisa’s expertise and dedication to laying these foundational markers set the stage for a well-behaved and well-trained dog.– Katie and Eric H.

I found the marker classes beyond helpful. Learning key words to use without [my dog] made me understand how much I was overwhelming her. I’ve been consistent with my marker words and [there is a] huge difference …[The] class provided Georgia and I a great foundation!– Annette G.

Lisa is a wealth of knowledge. She teaches us evidenced based approaches, including positive rewards based training, and shares some of the research. She effectively teaches everything we need to know so we can become confident dog parents and encourage our dog to exhibit good manners, safe behaviors, and critical thinking. Lisa has strategies to train dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. –Sara C.P.

I took my 2 year old Bernedoodle to Lisa at Nosy Puppers. We learned Marker Training. I especially liked the eye contact we acquired through the training. Lisa has vast knowledge about dog training. She is able to teach dogs at any level.– Andi W.

Lisa’s Nosy Puppers How to Speak Dog class is a great class that taught us the foundation of communicating to our pup in clear simple markers (words). This class is geared towards training the trainer(s) to build the foundation to future successful training to make our pup the best she can be. Thank you Lisa for teaching us how to understand and train our little rescue pup!– Denise D.

The new 4 week long Markers class being offered by Lisa’s Nosy Puppers Dog Training is an excellent way for dog owners to learn, not only what the markers are, but to also learn the appropriate timing for giving the markers and how all of this translates to your dogs understanding (since dogs don’t speak English!).

And the first 3 sessions are catered to the humans only, so you don’t have the added pressure of bringing your puppy or dog to their first training class, while trying to learn this foundational and critical information.

The sessions are set up with a mix of fun games and important instructional time, with the last session being when you get to bring your dog to class for the first time and practice what you’ve learned with Lisa directly.

Our 9-month old Bernedoodle puppy is in his 3rd class overall with Lisa, and we highly recommend her and this program for your dog training needs. It has been transformational so far for our family, and we are looking forward to new class offerings in the future!– Julie and Glenn M.

Lisa’s marker class has been a game-changer for me and my dog! It offers a refreshing approach to training, and I’ve learned a lot. I truly believe that effective dog training also involves training the owners, and Lisa’s class provided me with useful tools and tips to enhance my training at home. It’s been exactly what I needed to pull everything together and improve my dog’s behavior. I feel more confident about my training skills and I’m so happy with the progress I’ve seen since taking the class!– Valyncia S

Highly Recommend Lisa’s Markers Dog Training Class

I recently attended Lisa’s Markers dog training classes with my Yorkie puppy, and I am pleased with the experience. Lisa’s expertise and engaging teaching style provided me with an understanding of how to better interact with my dog. Her techniques are practical and easy to implement, making a noticeable difference in my puppy’s behavior. I highly recommend Lisa’s training class to all dog owners looking to build a strong, positive relationship with their pets.– Joselyn J

“The Rules” for Puppies is a fun 4 week class with games to teach the puppy impulse control. There are crate games, how to introduce “no” humanely, push and back up (give me space!), curbing jumping, saying hi to people, and the beginning of a come/retrieve. How To Speak Dog is a prerequisite class. 4 weeks, $140

Basic Obedience introduces the puppy to focus, sit, stand and down. The behaviors are taught as released behaviors with the “yes” marker. How To Speak Dog is a prerequisite class. 4 weeks, $140

Loose Leash Walking uses several approaches to teach the dog to move easily with a leash, the correct position for walking, and how to respond to speed changes and turns. How to Speak Dog is a prerequisite class. 4 weeks, $140

For all modules after How To Speak Dog, the puppy must have at least three legitimate DAPP vaccinations. Dogs older than 4 months must have a current annual DAPP and Rabies.
