Elijah tailors our training sessions to meet our needs and enhance our experience. His focus is on ensuring we have a clear understanding of positive reinforcement training techniques, with a focus on building a bond between our pup and us. Elijah’s approach is calm and confident, as he provides a successful and enjoyable learning environment.
Everyone is awesome! They all love what they do and love our pup!
We chose to enroll our rescue pup in the training camp with the two follow up at home training sessions. All of the trainers are very knowledgeable, patient, and exceptional at what they do. We had so much success with our girl. The expense was worth it to us, we viewed it as an investment in her and our family. Would highly recommend!
Elijah did a great job of explaining the various packages to me and answering all my questions. You could tell he’s a real dog person. He even brought his own dog which has been trained using CDT’s methods to show me how my dog will be trained!
