Whether that’s finding a body of water to let dogs splash through, playing a game of fetch, adding fun training time, or simply exploring off the beaten trail, your dog is always in experienced and capable hands when they’re with Lisa. You can be absolutely confident that you’re not dealing with just another dog walker.
