Dog Training

Puppy & Adult Dog Group Training

Get your puppy started on the right paw or refresh your adult dog's manners in a group setting. Great for socialization as well as setting them up for success in any situation!

Dogs are taught using humane, force free techniques that encourage dogs to learn, problem solve, and think. It is based on a reward structure that encourages the dogs to want to work more with the owner. We do not use prong collars, shock collars, choke chains, etc.

If your dog is not ready to be in a class situation or you do not feel comfortable in this type of setting, we also offer private lessons.

Very pleased with Lizzi and Rocco’s training classes.
My boyfriend and I were not sure what to expect as first time pet owners but our puppy Smudge has found great success! Jennen is a wonderful instructor and no matter the level of training from home your puppy comes in with- they are sure to leave more educated than before. Although Smudge has some simple commands already down before we started training, we never felt time was wasted in class as he was further challenged by the dynamic of distractions. In addition to learning it was also great to have another outlet for him to become socialized. We look forward to starting the next set of training classes soon
I can’t say enough good things about training at Liz and Rocco’s.
Orson has been thru puppy 1, puppy 2, and puppy 3. He currently is in the Good Canine Citizen class and will be testing for this certification soon. Jennen Renae is amazing and works to figure out what it takes to teach and train your dog. She also offers brush up sessions - a great chance to come in and work on things that need a refresher or help with issues you have at home or when out and about. I get comments all the time how well mannered my dog is. I will definitely be doing more with them.
Jennen is a wonderful instructor!
She really connects with the animals and knows her stuff!! If you are willing to work with your dog, with the help of Jennen at Lizzie & Roccos you’re dog will transform. My boy Gunther wouldn’t listen to me, he can now play off leash and comes when he is called. 10/10 recommend this class to anyone that wants to connect with their dog better.
I was very excited to take puppy classes with my Cane Corso puppy whenever I first got him.
There are a few options around Columbia, but when I saw that Lizzi and Roccos had classes as well I knew I wanted to at least try them out first. When I brought my pup in, and we got to meet Jennen when signing up, I knew that this was a good choice and would provide what we were looking for in puppy classes. Having been through both puppy level one and two, I can honestly say my puppy has been doing amazing and loves going to classes. From all the commands to socialization at the end, Jennen is right there helping both owners and puppies alike. And when my puppy made the milestone of actually interacting with other puppies, Jennen was right there equally as excited for that big step even though it wasn't one most others had to take. She understands that each dog is different with different needs and different ways to learn. Am very thankful to have met Jennen and to have taken my pup in that day to sign up for classes.
I have a 12 year old gal, who was set her ways of basic commands and skills.
At first, I was hesitant in enrolling her simply because if the old saying “you can’t teach old dogs new tricks.” Well Apparently they never been to Jennen’s training! Each class I felt that my bond with my dog was getting stronger and that my dog was able to mentally exercise with new skills she obtained. I think the most promising skill she gained was staying out of the kitchen when we are cooking and watching from “her place.” So if you have too many cooks in the kitchen or just need a refresher course for your pup at any age- this training is definitely for you!
We signed Moose up for puppy classes at 12 weeks old so that he could have proper socialization and start working on basic skills.
We were so impressed with the classes and how the instructor took charge, while also having extreme patience and fun with the dogs! Moose dramatically improved his focus, basic skills, and even the way he interacts with other dogs from everything we learned and experienced in the classes. I highly recommend signing your pup up - it is beyond worth it!!
We thoroughly enjoyed the Puppy 1 training class with Jennen at Lizzi and Rocco's!
Our puppy learned so much and I think it is because WE (his owners) were trained so well. :) The classes were fun, just the right length and very well organized. I recommend the course to absolutely anyone with a puppy. People comment on how well he "listens" and I always tell them about his Lizzi and Rocco's training!
Max has done an amazing job after taking the Adult Level 1 Class.
He is a rescue and struggled with meeting male strangers, but as since improved remarkably and not as scared! He used to yank our arms off on our walks and is doing so much better at paying attention to his surroundings and not pulling as hard. We can tell as a "working breed" dog, that these commands helped him also feel more of a sense of "purpose" and he has drastically improved his destroying of items while we were out of the house. Jennen and Margot were amazing and we cannot wait for Level 2 Training!
Our dog, Charles grew so much from his class.
Although he started classes very nervous with very high anxiety, Jennen was great working with him and meeting him where he was at for the first few classes. Even just having him be in the class for the first few days, really pushed him out of his comfort zone and he is such a better dog because of it! She worked with him differently then with the other dogs because she knew he was hesitant, and he needed a more coddled approach. After the first few sessions, he really got more comfortable and the exercises helped his bound with us. If our anxious dog can benefit from this class, any dog can! I highly recommend it!
When I first brought Huron to training he knew some basic commands but was not very consistent.
He also jumped liked crazy and was very excitable. After Puppy Level 1 and 2 he is much more consistent with his training and has really cut back on his jumping because he knows it won't get him anywhere. I can definitely tell that he has greatly improved in the 3 months of training he's had with Lizzie and Rocco's,
This training session has tremendously helped my dog.
While she still isn't perfect, she has improved greatly. Jennen is a great trainer and even shows how her dogs do not behave perfect 100% of the time. She is willing to work with you one on one as needed and always has encouraging words. 10/10 would recommend!
