Lizzie Sterling, KPA CTP, FFCP

Lizzie first started working in the veterinary field in 2020 as a veterinary assistant and was later promoted to veterinary technician. She received her Fear Free Professional Certification and developed a passion for working with behavior cases, especially animals labeled as “aggressive”. She went on to adopt Rex, a mutt who was set to be euthanized due to his bite history. What better way to learn about aggressive dog behavior than to live with one? She quickly realized she wanted to work exclusively with animals who are struggling with behavior concerns. She is a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy Dog Trainer Professional Program.

Lizzie lives in Novi with her dogs (Rex and Tofu) and rabbits (Jasper and Sapphire). Rex and Tofu are both very fearful and anxious. They continuously push Lizzie to learn as much as she can about assisting dogs who suffer with anxiety.
