Introduction: I'm an animal trainer in the Howard County, Maryland area. I offer in-home, private lessons to work on basic obedience and behavior modification! I use positive reinforcement methods.

I am a vet assistant and I’m experienced in administering many different kinds of medications and stay up to date with pet CPR and first aid classes. I have a dog of my own and two horses! I love what I do and can't wait to meet you and your pets!

Elisa has been wonderful to work with! She has been training our dog Zoe for over 1 month now and we have seen great results! Zoe is a border collie mix and can be very stubborn at times, and as her parents we didn't do the best job with correcting her behaviors when they began. She is now 5, and despite her age Elisa has been able to teach us how to train her properly and address her problematic behaviors. Elisa has a great connection with animals and has done an amazing job with training Zoe and with training us as well. She provides in-home training sessions which are extremely helpful, and she is always flexible with our work schedules, even meeting us on weekends if needed. We really enjoy working with her and are happy with the results so far! We recommend her to anyone who needs training/dogwalking/petsitting services!

We have two boxers, one 2 years old and the other 10 years old. It's well known that boxers are extremely protective and high maintenance dogs; our two are no exception. It takes a very patient and compassionate person to be able to handle the two of them. From the first time we hired Elisa, she kept our dogs safe, well taken care of and loved. Over the past few years, we have used Elisa for short weekends, long two week trips, and even the occasional day care - 30 minute visits and walk when we are gone most of the day. Each visit, whether is be a day care visit or two week trip, Elisa has been professional and exceptionally responsible with our dogs. She has also administered medications for our older dog and taken care of the younger one
when she was in an accident (the day before we left on a trip). In the many years we have owned dogs, we have never felt as comfortable leaving our dogs as we do now. Thank you Elisa!

Elisa helped my husband and I teach our newly adopted 1 year old puppy some basic manners. We had about 4 training sessions with her (with time to practice the training in between) and we saw great results! She helped us introduce him to other family dogs and gave us clear, practical ways to help socialize him and train him to walk nicely on a leash. She was so easy to work with and explained everything in really easy ways for us to understand! We have a great bond with our new pup, with many thanks to the training tips from Elisa! We felt like we could ask whatever questions, however silly they might be, without any judgement. We still ask her for tips as different things come up and she continues to give great advice. We would highly recommend her training services!
