Lisa Potts - CCPDT Certified Dog Trainer - Springfield, IL
I have 25+ years training dogs. I work with puppies, family dog training and common behavior problems as well as Obedience, Rally and Agility training for fun and for competition.
I also work with folks who are looking to train their dog for Animal Therapy, and can assist owners who are looking to train their dog for service.
I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer as well as a judge in a number of dog sports including Agility, Rally, Canine Good Citizen and more.
I am a creative problem solver and students generally go away with a lot of usable skills and thought processes after the very first lesson.
Please contact me through Petworks. Have a great day!
