I have known Elisa for over a decade. Her dog training skills are excellent and she is always continuing her skills with training for herself. She not only trains the dogs but also educates their owners which helps create a great partnership and bond between owner and their dog.

I used Raising K-9 for training of both my dogs. Ms Elisa had my second dog from 10 weeks old. He went all the way through her program and he is a well behaved dog. My old boy needed some work and she undid all his bad habits. You can’t go wrong with choosing Raising K-9 for whatever training issues you have.

Elisa is a WONDERFUL dog trainer, for us and our family’s puppies. We have known Elisa for over 15 years. Elisa has trained 4 of our dogs. The 2 border collies and 2 bearded collies have not been easy dogs to train. The current pup-in-training is a young border collie girl, who is high energy, smart, and highly distracted by sights and sounds. Elisa is always quick to analyze training problems and make suggested training solutions that WORK! Best of all, Elisa is always friendly and kind when she’s training us humans to teach our canine companions!
We are so pleased with the results from our training with Elisa. Our puppy made such great strides in such a short period of time. Elisa was wonderful and answered all of our questions and helped us tremendously. She went above and beyond and you can tell she cares about you and your dog and having them be a great family member. We couldn’t be more grateful to her expertise.
