Elaine is fantastic. She is great with dogs and can have them doing what she wants in a heartbeat. She reviewed our house layout as soon as we brought a puppy Maltese home and gave us wonderful advice on where to keep him, potty training and everything else under the sun. Highly recommended.

Elaine is truly a dog whisperer! She came into my multidog (5) household and managed to establish positive rapport and trust w all my dogs nearly instantly. Her biggest challenge was probably having to repeat the commands I (is humans) needed to follow.

Elaine arrived for our first training visit to find a shy, timid puppy who was afraid to walk on a leash. Week 1' mission accomplished! Bentley now walks happily on his leash like he's been doing it forever. We started working on command training today. Elaine not only works with Bentley but teaches us how to teach him. She is wonderful with both of us! I am looking forward to continuing to work with Elaine.

Elaine is a great dog trainer! She really understands dogs' behavior and how to deal with them. She did an excellent job showing us how to deal with him and gave us so much great general info on raising a dog, which we really need as first time dog owners.
