Lisa and Luminary Service Dogs gave us such an incredible gift. When my 16-year-old son Cyrus broke his neck in a skiing accident, he was introduced to service dogs while in rehab for quadriplegia at Craig Hospital in Denver. He and a new friend, also recently injured from a head first dive, spoke together of how much they wanted to have dogs. The joy of a relationship with a dog was a simple dream for these recently injured teens, however, the wait to get a service dog is often 3 years after injury, after time on a wait list, and the fully trained dog is usually 30 months old when it arrives to be of service to wheelchair users… [More]
A wonderful client of mine made the decision to adopt Sparrow, and upon doing so, decided that she wanted the best possible start for her. So she asked me to put Sparrow into a long term boarding program, and to work with her for as long as I felt she needed in order to gain the confidence necessary to become a happy and obedient pet… [More]
Lisa employs a balanced training style, a perfect fit for Harbor, my Newfoundland/Komondor mix. Not reliably food motivated, Harbor loves to work and help however possible. As a hybrid livestock guardian and water rescue dog, Harbor thinks creatively for himself, solving problems as a partnership with people at best and as an independent if he believes necessary. To successfully acquire skills, Harbor needs both positive reinforcement and clear boundaries, both of which Lisa provides excellently, conveying confines without a heavy hand. She’s talented and intuitive with dogs, but also refined.. [More]
Siri is my star. She lights my path in the dark. Knowing she is there enables me to navigate life in private and in public spaces in ways I would not be able to anymore. Unfortunately I am dealing with disabilities on multiple fronts. Fortunately, Siri is a multi-purpose service dog. She does psychiatric, autism, and medical alert and response tasks… [More]
After more than a year of weekly psychiatric appointments and different medications to treat my challenges with C-PTSD, my treatment team recommended looking into a Psychiatric Service Dog to help mitigate my symptoms. By happenstance, the owner of Penny Lane Australian Labradoodles mentioned MLU had a Program Service Dog ready for placement, but she might be too small for crowd control work. An internet search of Star’s bio listed all the qualities I was looking for in a PSD. Once I met Star, we bonded very quickly, and I know from day one we would make a great working team. Training with Lisa and Star in preparation for the transition of handling Star was seamless and rewarding…. [More]
Unleash your best life by becoming the leader of an amazing service dog team!
One BIG thing I want to share was when Lisa met me at Tractor Supply for a private session. My goal at the time was to walk through tractor supply without being drug down the isles. Lisa showed me what I need to do to get the behavior I want from my dog. Things clicked and there I was walking around the store with Abby by my side. It was an empowering moment for me and now Abby gets to go shopping where dogs are welcome.
We will continue to attend various classes. A happy dog is one that knows what you want from them.
Not only is Lisa excellent as a professional, she’s also just good people. She’s kind, embracing people and their dogs with warmth. She’s respectful and treats people with dignity, assuming competence. She attends to folks with both deference and clarity. Lisa is generous. Setting people and dogs up for success with everything in her power, she sent Harbor home with all the physical and informational resources he and I needed to succeed as a team, asking for nothing in return. Caring and driven, pleasant, personable, professional and a joy to work with, Lisa is worth her weight in gold.
Siri… She is happy to work and do so well in spite of me. Her training is impeccable and state of the art. I have seen my wife train dogs for almost a decade now. She has done it for longer, but I have witnessed first hand for that long and thought I knew what she can do. However, I never knew a dog could be this well trained and useful until Siri started helping me recently. I struggle to be a good handler. Lisa helped me with that too. The fact that Lisa has experience as both a trainer and mental health provider makes her uniquely qualified to work with people in my situation. I am very lucky to have her as a wife. Raise that to the unleashed power of having her as a trainer and I am the luckiest man alive. While conflicts of interest prevent her from also being my therapist, I would hire her if I could! For sure, I cannot think of another no another person I would rather have my service dog trained by. The best testament of Lisa as a trainer are the results you see in her clients and the dogs that serve them. If you ever get to meet Siri, you will see what I am talking about. Just SIRIously the best service one could hope for.
We were so lucky to find an opening with Lisa. Lisa has been an ongoing support in the weeks afterward to address any questions that have arisen. Chela has continued to prove herself more than capable of accompanying Cyrus through his life… She is capable of performing tasks related to his needs, such as pushing buttons and retrieving dropped objects, as well as being totally comfortable in any public access situations, obediently remaining alongside of Cyrus or in whatever place he commands while he faces the complexities of spinal cord rehab, college, and late adolescence…The reassurance of a well-trained dog has been a priceless gift for my son, whose life was devastated unexpectedly, and he is receiving more than we ever hoped by having a dog… To be in a position of being able to successfully direct an animal offers him the psychological strength to realize that, with support from people like Lisa, he can regain aspects of the power and control he needs to live a live worth living. Already,.. he is actively realizing personal dreams for himself, such as his simple hope to have his own dog…
I highly recommend…, which offers an effective, capable and well-developed approach. Thanks so much for everything Lisa!
Our first priority was to instill confidence in Gus so that he would not be crippled by his trauma. Then, he was in critical need of developing social skills while learning basic obedience.
Lisa, with great patience, taught Gus and I how to communicate effectively, so his eagerness to play and to please became the platform for exceptional skill development. Now, thanks to her commitment and investment, Gus is well on his way to becoming a happy, healthy therapy dog. Perhaps when his training is complete, Gus’s story of overcoming and resilience will inspire others to recognize that they are not defined by trauma but rather equipped by it.
