Paws In Progress

I have worked with many trainers over the past ten years, and Eleza is far and away the best I have ever worked with. Her prices are higher than others, but you get what you pay for! Her total program is amazing. From the board and train where she only has a couple client dogs at a given time that spend a LOT of time with her daily and get a lot of real world experience (not just a couple short sessions per day and the rest of the time in a crate like other programs), to her many group field trips each month with her clients to continually work on honing their skills with their pups, to an online video library full of lessons, to weekly live chats to discuss areas of concern and to educate her clients.... that doesn't even account for the texts or calls or other forms of support she offers. Although she tremendously has helped my young dog and continually helps me with my relationship and training with him, all of my pack (I have four total) have benefited from her wonderful program. The best thing about it is her demeanor - calm, positive, supportive - and she LOVES dogs - you can tell it is not so much her "job" but more of her doing something she truly loves. Cannot recommend enough!!!

My wife and I met a couple of trainers and none of their training techniques were to our appeal due to the lack of improvement. After thorough online research, we found Paws in Progress and followed by a detailed discussion on the training techniques. We agreed to send our German shepherd Dog (GSD) to training camp for a month in the summer of 2019.We never let our GSD be watched by strangers due to a previous bad experience.Thankfully, after the training camp, our pup made a tremendous turn from a reactive dog to obedient one. Then from there, it was our responsibility to learn howto communicate the new commands to our dog. After frequent field trips and showing up to training we were able to improve our new skills through working directly with Eleza by her feedback and experience as well as reviewing the online training videos provided. Now, we have the skills and confidence needed to live a life co-existing with my furry family member. I feel confident that our pup can go along with us to run errands, go on hikes, or simply hang out with friends at a brewery, winery, or dining. Also, I can identify situations when our dog needs comforting. If we were to adopt another fur baby in the future, we’ll be bringing our new addition to Paws in Progress. Thank you so much for your patience, knowledge, and communication Eleza.
