Paw Pals Pet Dog Training is owned by Elizabeth Brooks, BS, CDT. She is a graduate of Arizona Canine Academy, and is Certified as a Dog Obedience Instructor and Assistance Dog Trainer. She has a BS in Psychology and is working toward her Ph.D.  

She believes you need to develop a bond with your dog through education. She believes in using Positive Reinforcement training methods to teach new behaviors. In this way, your dog will learn to demonstrate desired behaviors without the need for force. This enables you and your dog to enjoy a rewarding, lifelong relationship.

Elizabeth is a member of the American Psychological Association - Student Affiliate, Association of Pet Dog Trainers, American Humane Association, and Animals and Society Institute. 

She has volunteered with 4-H groups, at animal shelters and veterinary clinics, and also stewarded at Obedience Trials. In the past 10 years she has offered classes through various venues including veterinary clinics, a state university, city recreation departments, and military installations. She has also been interviewed for Dateline NBC. She has always taken advantage of opportunities to interact with and learn more about both animals and humans. She believes in continuing education and attends seminars and workshops as often as her schedule allows.

What my clients are saying:

My experience with Paw Pals was fantastic! I started with an untrained pup and ended up with a great family dog -- mostly due to [Elizabeth's] professional training. It was worth every hour and penny I spent! -- C. Barber
