The Initial Wellness Consultations provides an in-depth assessment of your dog's overall health and well-being with the goal to help your companion lead a longer and healthier life by preventing or improving physical imbalances and implementing a tailored wellness and nutrition plan. Assessment of Body Condition and Gait Issues: By performing a thorough evaluation of your dog's body condition and gait, I will identify any issues that may affect their movement and comfort. This assessment will make you aware of potential weak areas that would be more injury prone in the future, and I will show you specific exercises and games that will strengthen those areas and lead to a more balanced and healthy physique. Nutrition and Caloric Intake: Good nutrition is key to a dog's health, and I will analyze your current food choices and discuss your dog's dietary needs and caloric intake to ensure they are receiving the proper nutrients for optimal health. I can recommend a variety of excellent food choices to help them reach and maintain a healthy weight. Fitness Program: Based on the results of our assessment, we can create a realistic and fun fitness program that specifically addresses any physical problems and weak areas of the body. This program will be tailored to the specific needs of the dog at the time of the evaluation and include exercises from core strengthening to hind leg awareness and proprioception improvements and to improve overall health and mobility. Medical History and Surgery: If your dog is recovering from surgery or has an obvious orthopedic problem and you want to try and avoid or postpone surgery if, at all possible, we can design an appropriate physio regime in concert with your veterinarian. I am also more than happy to coordinate a post-op exercise routine following the recommendations of your veterinary surgeon. Program for Senior Dogs with Mobility loss or suffering from mental decline: For senior dogs with arthritis or other medical conditions affecting mobility, keeping them moving is really important. An individually designed stretching, massage, and strength program can contribute greatly to maintain their mobility and muscle mass and postpone atrophy. The whole family will be happier if you can keep your dog mobile and pain-free as long as possible to increase longevity and quality of life. At DogRelations NYC, I believe in a holistic approach to dog wellness, and I am committed to providing the best environment for your dog to thrive. The Initial Wellness Consultation is the first step in achieving this goal, and I look forward to working with you and your dog. Can be done in the guardian's home or in a studio environment. · Listed price: $350.00

Elisabeth got recommended to us through our friends and we are very happy we got to consult with her. Our fur grandma Ruby suffered more and more from behavioural issues like OCD, anxiety and slight signs of doggie Alzheimer. We felt insecure and overwhelmed and needed help to manage this phase of our rescue. Elisabeth met us through Zoom and helped us within 2 seatings to feel more at ease, to have a few tools for our daily life and look into food alternatives as well as ideas on the medical approach. She truly cares about dogs and has a sweet way to interact with very concerned dog owners. I highly recommend her services.

Elisabeth is a genius with respect to training dogs. She has transformed our tiny 8 week old puppy, born on a farm into a calm, obedient and well mannered dog, while still maintaining his loving and playful personality. Her understanding of animal conditioning essentially puts her in the league of a dog scientist. We are very happy with his progress on house training, barking, eating, sleeping and respecting his parents. Elisabeth has been very reliable, responsive and punctual, as well! Five stars!!

I hired Elisabeth to help train my new boston terrier puppy Benny. Benny needed to be de-sensitized to touch and needed ALOT of leash training and impulse control while out on walks. Benny loves to chase birds! In less than two weeks, Elisabeth had gotten Benny to calm down, walk on his leash with fewer distractions and respond to basic obedience commands. He has become a delicious, warm and loving puppy and I owe Elisabeth for her excellent work.

Elisabeth is extraordinary!! My partner and I are forever indebted to her for the deep care and thought she has shared with us and our delightful silken windhound puppies. We started referring to her as our dog trainer, but now I also think of her as our family counselor!
We found Elisabeth after several months of becoming new dog parents. We did not seek Elisabeth out due to any major problems in our household, but we did know that WE had more to learn about how to raise our pups.
We are lucky to have obedient and sweet loving dogs by nature (and/or by chance?!), but I had no idea how much of their personalities were waiting to be uncovered. Elisabeth taught us how to give and hold space for each dog to be their own in the family - which was not at all something I would have come to on my own. This process has brought our family so much warmth, love, and compassion. It has been a natural process after Elisabeth broke the ice for us. The dogs are gentle, expressive, and so fun!
One of Elisabeth’s mottos on her site states:
“Really, is there anything more rewarding than having clear and loving communication with your dog?”
There is truly something magical about gaining trust and understanding with my dogs. Elisabeth facilitates this journey with concrete skills to work on and she makes herself available for any questions and concerns you may have along the way. Furthermore, Elisabeth is EXTREMELY knowledgeable of all things dog. She pointed us to high quality and intelligent dog food, diet options in general, harnesses!!!, bedding, and more! Elisabeth also shared her vet contact with us whom did a fantastic laparoscopic spay on our young lady.
Our dogs adore Elisabeth and so do we. The room lights up when she arrives for a lesson. Although we hired Elisabeth to work with our dogs, I have come away from the process knowing more about myself as a person and dog owner. Thank you Elisabeth!!
PS- Elisabeth also has a very special helper named Cathy who has been an incredible addition to our work with Dog Relations. We appreciate you both so much!!!

Elisabeth is amazing! We have a one year old dachshund named Roxy who started acting out with barking and nipping. She started begging more for food while we cooked and ate, and just generally could never relax during the day if we were home and not paying attention to her. Her barking went from occasional to worse, like she was a teenager acting out. We tried other trainers and had just so-so experiences. When I contacted Elisabeth, she immediately reassured me that we could work together to help Roxy gain confidence in her space between 'boredom, insecurity and anxiety.' With one visit, Elisabeth taught us how to work with Roxy and start to understand her behavior. Roxy fell in love with her at once. She is also very quick to respond to emails. It is amazing how intuitive Elisabeth is, and I would imagine she could work with any dog with any behavior issue. I wish we would have known about Elisabeth SO much sooner, but am so happy we found her.
