About Me - Homeschool for Dogs

Hello and welcome to Homeschool for Dogs! I am so happy to have you here.

I’m Lisa!

I am a homeschooling momma of 6, to five kids and a fur baby. I have a love for dogs (especially German shepherds) and I am very passionate about dog training.

I believe it is just as important to teach your dog manners and obedience just as you would your child.

You are raising a good citizen, a best friend and a protector.

A little bit about how my love for dog training began.

I have always loved dogs and my husband and I wanted a family pet. After doing our homework, we decided that a German Shepherd was the best fit for our family. They are loyal, smart (highly trainable) and oh-so-beautiful!

We watched YouTube video after YouTube video. I imagined my dog to be as obedient as the dogs I saw and I had the vision in my head that it couldn’t be that hard, we could do it.

Boy, was I in for a rude awakening. It was a LOT more work than I had imagined.

I felt I was letting my fur baby down and I was ready to pull my hair out at times.

I didn’t have the money to send my baby to a 2-week board and train so I decided that I was going to take matters into my own hands.

I went back to the internet and YouTube, I would search a command I wanted to teach my dog and study it. I would then implement it.

(I also watched a lot of Ceaser Millan on T.V.)

I learned I made a lot of mistakes. I also learned how to fix them and how to fix many issues I was dealing with. I realized the problem wasn’t my dog…it never was… IT WAS ME!

I became addicted!

Everyone couldn’t believe how well-behaved my dog was at only 6 months. I had taught my dog over 30 commands by the time he was 6 months old. Friends and family started asking me questions and I would help them with their dogs.

Which grew my love for dog training and helping others with training their dogs even more.

You can train your dog at home.

I know how expensive obedience training is and financially it just isn’t doable for most people. (I was most people!)

I want to help educate people, like you, learn more about their dog, how to care for and train their dog at home because it is PAWSIBLE! 😉 (You like how I did that didn’t you. LOL!)

I want to share my knowledge with you so that you can become the best trainer and handler that your dog needs. Connecting you and your dog on a whole new level.

With some education, patience and lots of treats, you CAN do it!
