FirstBarkSomething Els provided a wonderful experience for our family, including our dog, Moose. Els was clear with her instruction and showed great enthusiasm and care for all of the dogs in our class. Classes were followed up with detailed emails that made training simple and fun. We're already looking to book a second session and I highly recommend Something Els for anybody looking to train their dog!

Els clearly loves every dog in her class even the most rambunctious ones! We felt it was well worth the cost for our 4 month old puppy, and plan to enroll in Puppy Fun 2 in the future. Being a novice dog owner, I would recommend this school for those contemplating a class for their dog. She gave practical advice and homework which worked well with our dog.

We really enjoyed our time at Puppy Fun class. Our girl is a rescue, who is very nervous of new situations. Els was so patient and understanding with her. Her positive reinforcement training has been so helpful to our day to day with Joanie. Joanie is really coming out of her shell, in just 6 weeks. She is enjoying learning the basics. We decided to sign her right back up for the next 6 weeks of training. I would recommend these classes to anyone - but it is a great class for beginners. The training is simple, yet effective!
Mrs. Els is a wounderful instructor she takes her time and makes sure you understand everything. I would recommend her classes for beginners and advanced people with dogs.
Titus and I both really enjoyed out Fun Puppy Class. I was skeptical at first, all positive training. I couldn’t imagine how I could get my puppy trained without any negative training. Well Els got it. She is so dedicated not just to her business but to each puppy and owner. Her methods are so easy to understand and easy to do, it works. We have already signed up for our next class.
