About Lisbeth
Lisbeth was born and grew up in Sweden, but she is British by naturalization and Canadian by marriage! She got her first dog, Dino the dachshund, when she was 13 and they trained and competed together in obedience and tracking. After education, family and a career in the international insurance business, she retired in 1998 following a severe horse-riding accident and moved from London, England, to Cobble Hill, where she lives with husband, Bill, and their Bernese Mountain Dogs.
Lisbeth is a Certified Training Partner of the Karen Pryor Academy. She is a firm believer in continuing education for professional dog trainers.
Lisbeth is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, the Canadian Association of Professional Pet Dog Trainers, the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, the Animal Behavior Society and the Behavior Education Network. She is a founding member of the Vancouver Island Animal Training Association (VIATA).
Lisbeth is a licensed Be A Tree-presenter with Doggone Safe, a non-profit organization dedicated to dog bite prevention through education and dog bite victim support. The Be a Tree programme is a seminar program for school-age children that teaches about dog body language and how to act safely around dogs. Through the sponsorships of Cowichan Canine and the Tyee Kennel Club, Lisbeth offers the Be a Tree dog bite prevention program for school-age children, free of charge to schools, scout groups and similar community groups.
