Meet the Trainer

Elizabeth Morgan, BSW, CBCC-KA

Growing up in a big family in North Alabama, Elizabeth has been passionate about dog training since she began training her first dog at the age of twelve. While still in college, she began training dogs professionally in 2004, teaching group classes and private lessons at Petsmart in Birmingham, AL.

Always passionate about helping people with disabilities, Elizabeth moved to Austin, TX in 2007 to become a service dog trainer at the nonprofit organization, Service Dogs, Inc.

In her ten years at Service Dogs, Inc., Elizabeth trained and cared for well over 200 dogs. Because SDI primarily selected service dogs from animal shelters, Elizabeth additionally excelled in conducting temperament evaluations to find the best candidates for her clients with disabilities, and helped place dogs in their forever homes. She also taught private lessons with her clients to successfully train their new service dogs.

Elizabeth also played a leadership role in Service Dogs, Inc.'s annual Assistance Dog Training for Professionals workshop series, teaching procedures for training service dogs to other professional dog trainers from all over the country.

Returning to her Alabama roots in 2017, Elizabeth is thrilled to share her knowledge and experience with pet and service dog owners in the North Alabama area. In addition to volunteering with Huntsville Animal Shelter, she also trains her terrier mix, Kaya.

Pawsitive Tales

Harper has her very own reading program called Pawsitive Tales. She would love to visit your library or other reading group with her human to teach about child safety and abuse prevention. She will visit with the kids, perform tricks, and pick a book from her library to share with the group. After her human finishes the reading, Harper will pawtograph the book and donate it to the library.
