Lisa Koban

Lisa the founder of For All Paws was inspired to create a dog training company that focused on helping owners build a meaningful and deep relationship with their dogs. Being a native Austrian, a country where dogs are easily incorporated in all aspect of daily life, she noticed quickly the many barriers dog owners faced in North America in understanding how to raise a well balanced dog. With 5+ years of experience apprenticing with various trainers in Austria, combined with the completion of the Professional Dog Trainer Program (Canine Academy) in Canada she brings a refreshing perspective to struggling dog owners on how to better understand the needs of their dogs and the effectiveness of positive methods to establish higher levels of trust and engagement. She currently owns a 3 years old Weimaraner named “Finn” who she enjoys training in obedience, rally and nosework sports. She also truly believes he is “half human” and would give up a piece of Kinder chocolate any day to rub his head

It was a chance meeting at a local dog park that Lisa and Diana met in the fall of 2018, fuelled by their love of hunting dogs there was an instant “spark” and alignment of dog training philosophies that resulted in Diana joining For All Paws. Diana’s robust background started in 2007, first as a dog walker/boarder then to opening her own dog daycare in 2011. This has resulted in over a decade of hands-on experience managing and addressing a large spectrum of behavioural issues. She is currently a Certified Dog Trainer through the Karen Pryor Academy and Certified Family Dog Mediator and is passionate about bridging the knowledge gap between the history of humans and dogs and how its relevancy in the modern pet dog world. She also strongly believes that owners need to understand the origins of their dogs and the behavioural traits associated with them and ask more question’s about the “why’s” before going into the '“how’s”. She is eager to show owners how to strengthen and build a great relationship with their dogs and how to appreciate and develop their dog’s genetic talents. She currently owns a 4 year old German Shorthair Pointer named “Dagmar” who she enjoys training and trailing in obedience, rally, scent work, barn hunt, and hunt tests. In her free time she enjoys learning about upland hunting and developing new workshops for pointing breeds (@HuntinginHarmony)
