Welcome to Pups-N-Motion
Hi, I’m Liz, the owner of Pups-N-Motion in New Hampshire. I’m a long time New Englander that always needs to be busy doing something. I live in New Hampshire with my husband, Russ, and two dogs, Jax & Stella.
Before making the leap into Pups-N-Motion I worked 40yrs in the aerospace defense industry, starting my career as a software engineer, transitioning to hands-on techie during the tech boom and then late-career as a project manager where my organizational skills were put to the test on all things big and small. I’ve always loved tackling problems and challenges, the bigger the better.
In 2022, after three years of juggling both jobs, I made the move into self-employment. 5 years all-in and life has been nothing short of a dream. Sure, working with pups and getting them to sleep through the night isn't for the faint of heart, but for me right now in life—helping a pup get a head-start to being a confident and loyal companion is well worth the dog treats. I get to work with clients and their most precious new family members. Does it get any more pawsitive than that?
Thinking back to training sessions with my own dogs, as well as my first professional training session, I remember being immediately fixated on obedience & control. Fast-forward 10+yrs, I am currently a student of the prestigious Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior, a registered AKC CGC Evaluator, a certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM), as well as maintaining active memberships in: Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), and International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). While attending training classes, industry leading conferences, having reach back to world class trainers, and countless hours of experiential learning, my technique has shifted towards building a more well-balanced pup through building connections, trust, and positive reinforcements.
Pups-N-Motion is located in Merrimack, NH and can easily support clients from Southern NH to the Seacoast, Boston and Greater Boston areas, as well as Cape Cod.
“Liz is awesome. Our Bou Bou (Breckenridge) stayed with Liz before coming home with us. It was our first pup, Liz was answering all my questions via email and web cam and she continues to help if I have any questions. Having Liz guide me through the first few weeks, help me be a better mum to my pup who is now 1 year and 9 months.”
“Liz is amazing. She had our Sailor (Sands Beach) who came to us knowing her name, sleeping through the night AND potty trained! Are you kidding me? Drop the Mike! She continues to be available to answer questions. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“Third vote of confidence for Liz. She’s a pro and did an absolutely amazing job with Teddy (Ross from Friends litter). She had him on a schedule, potty trained, and was such a pleasure to work with.”
“We are beyond grateful for Liz's training and she continues to be supportive--she's INCREDIBLE!!!”

We were one of the lucky ones to have Liz train our little guy… Liz did wonders with him in just a week! Gus learned to sit, come, started to learn his name, and—most amazingly—learned to sleep through the night! …….Liz is very professional, passionate and dedicated to the pups she trains—including after pickup-up day. Our little guy is a bit more timid, so we reached out to Liz with a question and next thing we knew she provided a thorough explanation and a video explaining how to help Gus through things. All in all, we couldn’t recommend Liz enough!

…Most importantly, I would highly recommend to anyone… to get them into Liz if possible. She was amazing and the extra time with her (he stayed 3 weeks)..made a huge impact on setting him up for success. The schedule she got him makes so much sense and makes puppyhood so much easier. He crates beautifully and already lets me know when he has to go out to potty.
