I consider Ellen the most caring trainer we have ever worked with. She went out of her way to make sure we learned to work with Allie. Ellen is very thorough and a great communicator. She gives wonderful direction in a polite,considerate, courteous, respectful way; never coming across as rude, authoritarian nor condescending. We will always be grateful for her generosity, kindness and patience and highly recommend her.

I am so thankful to have found Ellen. She has taken my unruly, energetic, 80lb dog from causing mayhem and chaos to being a well behaved and polite dog.

Ellen “speaks” dog… she knows how to communicate with the dogs on their own terms, not just bark commands at them. I don’t know what we would have done without her! TJ is almost a year old and is a very well-behaved dog in all ways. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Ellen to everyone! Not only is she an excellent trainer, she is a lovely person and the dogs love her!

Ellen worked with us and gave me invaluable tips to help us build trust and create a close bond. By applying Ellen's training tips with consistency and tenacity, my puppy has grown into a wonderful dog and a sweet companion. Thank you for getting us through the difficult adjustment period of learning to live together, and providing lasting training advice.

Ellen has also taught me so much about dogs and their behavior. She is so knowledgeable. I don’t know what I would do without her. She has changed my life as much as the lives of my two dogs….ALL FOR THE BETTER!!!

Ellen the dog whisperer! Ellen is wonderful! I called her in a panic; potty training was not working. She came to our rescue ASAP! She is a dog whisperer. She knows everything about dogs and uses a very gentle, living approach, which really works! I highly recommend her!

Our Aussie Doodle seemed to really be suffering from over anxiousness. Desperately we searched for help and we are so grateful to have found Ellen. With her knowledge of behavior, simple instructions and clear guidance, we began to see immediate results. My husband and I learned so much that we were able to apply her lessons to other scenarios. She helped us not only with our Aussie Doodle, but our Havanese as well. You can see how enraptured they are by Ellen.

When I adopted my rescue pup Raine ( she was found pregnant in a storm drain)….she was very sweet but had been living on the street and was terrified of being touched or held and I was worried that I bit off more than I could handle. I couldn’t get a leash on her and she tried to run away at every opportunity the first week I had her. I had worked with Ellen before with my other dog and knew she was an excellent trainer and an incredible teacher of behaviors but this time I had to work with her remotely and was skeptical that she could help me from a distance. I was thrilled to find out that her remote training was just as easy to follow and her step by step instructions on how to desensitize Raine from her fears have worked wonders. Ellen taught me how to recognize behaviors so that i could react properly, led me through exercises that gained Raine’s trust and gave me specific strategies to handle her skittishness and fears. Raine is now is a happy well adjusted pup who is beautifully behaved. Thank you Ellen!!!

I'd highly recommend working with Ellen. Her passion for dogs and calm nature makes class engaging and enjoyable. She has a tremendous depth of knowledge in dog training and situations. She teaches so much more than just sit and stay and educates owners about dogs and proper dog ownership. Ellen helped from the early puppy stages, starting at 9 weeks at our home. It was very beneficial to start early. They soak up so much at a young age and I am glad we did not miss valuable training time waiting for all his vaccines to be completed. It was wonderful when Ellen said she will come to us for one-on-one training. It was a pleasure to work with her and we highly recommend her
