We love the results that Elain delivered for our puppy Moose. She transformed from a free-spirited wild child to a well-behaved one. Now we enjoy walking with her and living in peace!

What a wonderful experience from day one. We knew our rescue pit mix pup was super smart but she was out of control with rough play and demanding attention. After two weeks with Elaine she is in control of her energy and looks to us, her pack leaders, for direction. We are confident we can take her anyplace and even off leash she follows her commands like the champ we knew she could be. Thank you Elaine for your continued guidance and advice as we continue to learn.
The work that Elaine did with me and Gus has been life-changing. I didn’t know how to get him started and provide direction in a way he could understand. Our walks are awesome now — I can take him everywhere and he is a happy, happy boy! This is one of the best investments I ever made!

10 months ago we welcomed two golden doodle sisters into our family. They were full of energy and fun loving. We had no clue how to tame or train these two pups. When Dolly and Pippa returned from residency training with Elaine they were just as fun loving, but well behaved and obedient. Now we enjoy walking Dolly and Pippa instead of how they used to walk us. They stay on heel and are not distracted by other dogs, rabbits, squirrels or people. We often take Dolly and Pippa to public places and they turn heads everywhere we go. Whether it’s to Lowe’s, the pet store or to dine outside where they stay on their "place,” we receive lots of compliments on how well behaved they are. Part of the process was to not only train our dogs, but to teach us. We are so thankful to have found Elaine. She’s truly a miracle worker in training dogs and our dogs are so much more enjoyable and calm because they understand and know their boundaries. Thanks Elaine!
Elaine was so helpful with helping me learn how to work with my dog so she won't be leash reactive. I'm looking forward to watching the transformation and having easy walks with my dog!
