Liz Kontyko

Training Director

Hi, I’m Liz Kontyko and I love learning with dogs and their people. I started training dogs as a client with my dog Pinto Bean, fell in love with the process and haven’t looked back. My hands on experience with hundreds of dogs, continued education and work with my own dogs has taught me so much! My purpose is to help you live the best life possible with your dog!
