Hi, my name is Lizzie Bloemer and I am the owner here at Rogue Hounds Training Co. I have loved dogs all my life, and took an active roll in training our family pets. But it wasn't until 2014 that I started down my dog training journey. I was working a normal soul-sucking job when my roommate brought home a new dog named Rue. Rue was sweet and loving and full of life, but she was also terrified of strangers. Over time, that fear started turning into aggression and she started biting and eventually had to be euthanized. After I moved to Colorado, I was determined to learn more about dogs and dog behavior so that I could prevent something similar from happening again. I started out working at a veterinarian's office, where I was exposed to hundreds of different dog breeds, personalities and temperaments. Then I started an internship under Spencer Bowman at Prestige K9, where I learned not only advanced obedience training, but how to rehabilitate anxious dogs, manage aggression, and stop reactivity. Once I completed the internship, I stayed on with Prestige K9 and worked my way up to Head Trainer, all the while learning more and more from other trainers and from every dog I trained. I currently live in Colorado Springs with my husband Colin, our Catahoula Leopard Hound, Jason, and our cat, Benjamin.
