    Lisa Caper is an outstanding trainer and we are so happy we found her to help us with Cody. We cannot recommend her highly enough! We adopted Cody from GSRNC (German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California in December 2017. He was about a year old. He had been abandoned as a puppy in Oakland. Rescued from a kill shelter by GSRNC. Adopted and returned after 2 months because he was "too much dog" for the family that adopted him. Then we found him. He had had NO training. And even though we are experienced dog owners and thought we could train him ourselves - we quickly realized we needed professional help. Lisa has made a huge difference in Cody's life and in ours. Results were noticeable after the FIRST session. Lisa is no nonsense, effective and fun to be with. We have learned so much from her and Cody is a happy dog. Well worth the investment. If you are serious about training your dog and yourself, then hire Lisa.

    Lisa is awesome! She is patient and extremely knowledgeable. Her input really helped me with my 4 month old puppy, Chip. :)

    We had issues with both our German Shepherd and Pomeranian. Lisa did an excellent job with both!

    Lisa is truly incredible - if you are disciplined and focused with her training guidelines, the payoff is amazing (and fast!).

    Super Bowl Sunday, February 8th, 2026:…read more After taking both dogs on a hike, both got grimy and grubby...especially the Maltipoo. We always choose Pet Food Express to give them a shower and this was the closest one. Located in a strip mall in Mill Valley and approximately less than a mile from 101, it was definitely convenient as it was the closest to Mt. Tam. Upon entering, there were two, young female workers by the cash register, and we didn't even get a greeting. In fact, the look on their faces was of disgust...as if we were bothering them or as if we disturbed them. No matter, we asked for a coin and informed them of our intent of a pet wash. The service was cold and disinterested. I can see it from both their body language, their eyes and most obvious of all, their facial expressions. I read these things - years and years of training comes naturally. I'm I n constant awareness and reading people. I get it, maybe they had a long day and it was close to ending their shift and they have to prep and clean the pet wash area before closing time. But it was only approximately 16:15 hours (4:15 PM) and their closing time is at 18:00 hours (6:00 PM) on a Sunday. Anyways, their negative energy lingered as we were washing our dogs while one of the workers cleaned the unused pet washing stations. The way she was cleaning was also off. It's like a kid upset that her parents told her to clean her bedroom kind of vibe. What was also bugging me was the condition of the aprons. They stunk like old mildew. I don't know when was the last time they were washed, but they needed to be soaked and rinsed in gallons of detergent to remove the funky smell. When we were done, we didn't even get a thank you or any type of acknowledgment unlike all the other Pet Food Express that we've been to. Just the same treatment when we all walked in. At least they were consistent. Guess we won't be using this pet wash station anymore.

    It's just the best do-it-yourself dog bath anywhere. Tubs always sparkling clean. Plentiful towels…read more Ample time to wash and dry our large dog. They are experimenting with a new soap dispenser method. Either one is great, honestly. Charles and the rest of the team there today were so helpful and friendly. Thanks!

    I cannot recommend Kathy at Cause and Effect Dog Training enough! When we first reached out, our…read moreSpringer Spaniel, Checkers, was fearful, anxious, and often growled at my spouse and sometimes even at our kids. We had already tried multiple trainers, different techniques, and even followed our vet's suggestion to try antidepressants--but nothing was helping (in fact, the medication only made things worse). The moment I spoke to Kathy on the phone, I felt confident she truly understood the problem and could guide us in the right direction. And she absolutely has. Over the past year, Checkers has made tremendous progress thanks to Kathy's knowledge, patience, and the clear guidance she gave us. We followed her suggestions carefully--even switching vets based on her recommendation--and the results have been life-changing. Earlier this year, we had to travel out of the country and trusted Kathy to board Checkers. During that time, he developed a beautiful bond with her partner Dan. This was nothing short of amazing, as Checkers has always been fearful of men. Watching their relationship grow has been such a gift. With Kathy's help (and the influence of her own two balanced dogs), Checkers has learned how to be a dog--something I once thought might never happen. He now participates in pack walks and can even run off-leash in the fields, something I couldn't have imagined a year ago. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior and feel like nothing is working, do yourself and your dog a favor and call Kathy. She and Dan have changed our lives, and I am endlessly grateful for the care and dedication they've shown to Checkers and to us.

    Kathy had great techniques and homework for me and my husband. She was punctual in every session…read moreand gave us constructive feedback. I really think having the training sessions with Kathy helped us bond with our dog more. It was a really rewarding experience. I absolutely feel more confident about my communication skills towards our girl Cub. Thank you for helping us work with her Kathy!!
