My name is Lisa Sipes. I am a resident of Bellefontaine. I have been volunteering services at local animal shelters in my spare time for many years. I studied training through Karen Pryor Clicker Training, and I got my behavior certificate at Canine Associates where I became a certified behavior consultant. I received my Small Animal Massage Certification from Integrated Touch Therapy for Animals. My certifications include CANINE I and II,    Massage, EMERGENCY PET FIRST AID, and Certified Behavior Consultant. I also help owners to work on basic obedience skills with their dogs and provides home visits for behavior consulting.

I adopted my dog, Kopper, from shelter as a 4-year-old puppy mill survivor. She was terrified of everything, and I spent 6 months rehabilitating and socializing her. I became a consultant so I could help dogs like her. She is a part of my business as a massage demonstration dog, and I use her to assess dogs' behavior.
