Elizabeth Ingalls Dog Behavior and Training

We had a wonderful experience working with Elizabeth. She helped us successfully transition a rescued Pyre-doodle into a home with our existing and previously rescued Great Pyrenees. She also helped us address our Great Pyrenees's reactive behaviors. All sessions were conducted via Zoom and were very effective. Elizabeth was responsive, listened carefully to our concerns, and provided practical, easy-to-implement strategies. We especially appreciated the detailed notes and helpful resources she shared after each session. Her guidance made a huge difference in our home. We now have 2 dogs that move about our home with no issues. They love to go on walks together and can be seen playing outside together. We’re so grateful for her services.

Elizabeth is wonderful to work with. I came to her for help with my dog Miss Bean, and some of her barking and leash challenges. Like many guardian-type dogs, she can be a bit stubborn on lead, and Elizabeth showed me practical ways to gently redirect her while walking so we can stay connected and move together. She also gave me some practical tips to address Miss Bean’s barking. This was actually a refresher appointment for me, as I had forgotten some of the techniques we had previously worked on. Elizabeth gently walked me back through how to implement them, which was incredibly helpful and encouraging. What I appreciated most about Elizabeth’s approach is her focus on positive reinforcement and relationship-building. She encourages owners to interact with their dogs in ways that create a safe space for learning while still allowing them to be dogs and live their best lives. The guidance she provided felt supportive, practical, and respectful of both Bean and myself.

Working with Elizabeth has seriously changed our lives! Our reactive Pyr mix rescue makes going for walks and having people over a pretty frustrating experience and Elizabeth has given us the tools to make both those things MUCH more enjoyable (and safe) for everyone. She is incredibly thoughtful in her recommendations making sure they fit seamlessly into our lives. So much of our previous dog training felt high pressure and like serious work - like if I couldn’t find 2 hours a day and capture behaviors at precisely the right time I’d completely fail. Instead, Elizabeth’s methods work training into the everyday moments so we can make real progress without getting discouraged. Our life with our pup is now full of much more joy and freedom in no small part due to Elizabeth!
