New Era Dog Training operates from a new facility in North Royalton, Ohio, serving Summit, Cuyahoga, and Medina counties and beyond. The site's framing is "Training, Reimagined," centered on Family Dog Mediation and positive training. The stated philosophy emphasizes helping dog guardians better meet their dogs' needs, building a shared language based on trust and understanding, and growing confidence "on both ends of the leash."
Services for Every Stage
Services are tailored to each dog and family and include: "Cautious to Confident" for shy, fearful, or nervous dogs; Puppy Kindergarten focused on age-appropriate socialization and enrichment; Basic Manners; Adoption Transition for dogs moving from a rescue or shelter into a home; Behavior Modification for challenging behaviors like reactivity and resource guarding; and Enrichment Services for dogs that need mental stimulation while owners are away. The site also lists private training, group classes, and facility rental.
The trainer is referenced in testimonials as Lisa. The mission statement reiterates a foundation of shared language, trust, and positive reinforcement training. Specific certifications are not published, so none are listed, but the positive, mediation-based, relationship-first orientation is consistent throughout the site.
Behavior modification for unwanted or problem habits.

Lisa is top notch! My pup was not receptive to strangers but warmed up to Lisa quickly. Why? Because she let him come around in his time not forced time. Her love for dogs is obvious and the knowledge she has was immediately visible with her interaction with my fur baby.
Milo gets so excited to see Lisa and to go to her facility. It's his favorite place to go.
After having a bad experience with a local daycare, I was hesitant to bring someone else into my pups life but I sure picked the right trainer and the right facility. Milo is receptive of strangers and has confidence again to explore and be the puppy he's supposed to be.
Check out Lisa and New Era Dog Training, you'll be happy you did and your fur baby will be too.

I scheduled a private training session with my very fearful and reactive dog. Lisa was absolutely amazing! She went out of her way to make my dog and me feel supported. She offered great advice and showed in every way how much she loves dogs and truly wants to help them! I will continue seeing Lisa – I believe she will be able to help my girl feel happier and more confident. I cannot recommend New Era enough…I will send anyone with a dog her way! Her positive approach is centered on your specific dog and their needs. She is simply incredible and I’m so happy we found her!!! Take a class…you won’t be disappointed!!

Ellie is a 2 yr old Black Lab that i adopted when she was approx. 8 months old. she was extremely withdrawn and very fearful. I worked with her on my own, but it took a long time to start to bring her out of her shell. I wish I had found New Era Dog Trainig i lot sooner. Approx. 4 months ago, I contacted New Era Dog Training and Lisa to help me with Amber, a 2 yr old German Sheperd i adopted as a companion for my Mother. The results with Amber were so incredible that Lisa soon also started working with Ellie. Again, the results were and continue to be life changing for Ellie. Ellie’s confidence level has sky rocketed since working with Lisa. The progress and transformation is absolutely extraordinary!!! I owe it all to Lisa and New ERA DOG TRAINING and Lisa. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and her technique is superb. She crates a custom and unique plan for each individual dog and its owner. She instructs you as the owner as to what needs to be done so that you can facilitate and continue the training. Lisa and NEW ERA DOG TRAINING are absolutely the best. I highly recommend them and will continue to use NEW ERA DOG TRAINING and LISA to give my dogs absolute best life possible through training with the BEST Trainer!!!!!

Amber is a 2 yr old German Shepard my mother and I adopted as a companion for my mother. They immediately bonded. She was settling in well At 6 weeks until a fall injured my mother. Even when my mother returned home, Amber's new home was turned upside down. She became unruly and hard to control. At this time, I found New Era Dog training to aid me with Amber's behavior. Lisa is great!!! She took time to listen to the problems , get to know Amber and understand what she was experiencing. Amber immediately took to Lisa. There was a definite change after just 1 session. Now after several sessions, Amber is a different dog. My mother and I are extremely pleased. Lisa is very professional. She takes time to teach you how to work with your dog and provides great insight and ideas for further growth and continued success. Working with her has been an amazing experience!!!!! I could not recommend any one else !!!!! New Era Dog Training is the Best.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa of New Era Dog Training, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional trainer and professional. Lisa uses a positive reinforcement–based approach that truly sets her apart. She focuses on building trust, confidence, and clear communication between dogs and their humans, which leads to long-lasting results and happier relationships.
As a fellow pet care professional, I deeply value working alongside someone who prioritizes humane, science-backed training methods. Lisa meets each dog where they are, tailors her training plans to the individual, and always considers the emotional well-being of the dog — not just the behavior being addressed. Her calm, patient demeanor helps both dogs and owners feel supported and empowered throughout the process.
Our collaboration has been seamless, and it’s clear how much care and intention Lisa puts into every case she works with. I trust her completely and confidently recommend New Era Dog Training to my own clients. Anyone looking for ethical, effective, and compassionate dog training would be lucky to work with Lisa.
