My dog unfortunately was traumatized by Elliott's very harsh and not compassionate training. I also don't know if he's a certified trainer, and realized he never shared his proper credentials. I would never ever recommend him to anyone because of the trauma he caused on my dog. I also heard from other trainers that clients have come to them because of Elliott's poor training outcome and their pets also have been traumatized. It has been a journey to unlearn the horrible experience my puppy experienced, and is now in much better care with the right trainer and is successfully improving. Pet parents, beware! You don't want to work with Elliott, he will ruin your pet's life! Update 8.25.25: Elliot, this is not a fake comment. I had one session with you and have receipts of our communications, plus a witness who was present. Based on that firsthand experience, your methods were too forceful for my dog and ignored the backstory I provided. I recall asking you to stop the training because it was having a negative effect on my pup. You immediately looked at your watch to check how much time was left, and then said no let's keep going. It was not a good experience nor outcome. Since then, I’ve worked with another trainer whose approach has helped my dog rebuild trust. My review is real, and I stand by sharing it so others know what my experience was like.
