Head of the Class Dog Training - Winchester, VA

Member since Jun 2017

Winchester's Premium Professional Pet Training Group Classes: Basic Manners, Puppy Kindergarten, GCG, Fun and Sport Classes, Fido Fitness. Hi, I'm Lisa, and I'm the owner of Head of the Class Dog Training LLC, located in Winchester, VA. I'm a certified dog trainer with a passion for helping dogs and their owners build strong and healthy relationships. With years of experience in the field, I understand that every dog is unique, and I work closely with each pet to design a customized training program that meets their individual needs. My approach to training is positive and reward-based, focusing on building a strong bond between the dog and their owner. I offer a variety of training programs, from basic obedience to advanced techniques like agility and therapy dog training. My goal is to provide a fun and enjoyable training experience for both the dog and their owner, while also helping to address any behavioral issues. It brings me joy to see dogs and their owners grow together and form lifelong bonds, and I feel fortunate to be able to do what I love every day.
