“Can't say enough good things about Elana. We came to her for help with some leash issues with our 90 pound, 5ish year old German Shepherd mix. Shortly thereafter, we got an 85 pound Dogo Argentino puppy. Fortunately for us, Elana was able to fix the leash issues with the adult dog in the blink of an eye, so we had more time to work on the wild, out of control puppy. Working with Elana has made a night and day difference. He's still the same lovable, goofy pup, but he now listens, and he knows all the appropriate commands. We can now walk the two dogs - all 175 pounds of them - at the same time with no problems. We have even had multiple neighbors come out of their homes to compliment us on how well-behaved our dogs are and what a good job we have done training them! We tell all of them the same thing: we had very little to do with it. Elana did it. She is a wizard. Or maybe a witch. But a good witch, like Mary Poppins, but for dogs. Anyway, what she did with our two dogs is nothing short of magical, and we can't recommend her enough.”

“I highly recommend Elana! I contacted her to help me train my 2 yr old rescue terrier, Arie. Arie is my first rescue and she was extremely reactive (barking, lungeing) to both people and other dogs. We have done 5 private classes (at my home, outside with masks) and one group class and it is amazing the transformation Arie has made. Elana is very calm and clear in her technique and has educated me on how to better handle Arie in a relaxed way that gets through to her and is less stressful on me as well! I did a lot of searching for the right trainer and did not want to use a trainer who uses the shock collar- which many do, especially in smaller dog training programs. Elana trains with positive reinforcement (treats/praise) and leash corrections (quick “pop” on the leash) which is effective and gets Arie’s attention. I’m so happy Arie can now be around other people and dogs thanks to Elana . She perfect trainer for us and we look forward to continuing to work with her!”

“My initial goal with training was to learn how to deal with my Golden Doodle named, Zilly. In regards with her aggressiveness with other dogs.
Elana has definitely helped Zilly and I meet that goal. Zilly is a large, active headstrong dog and she responded well to the positive reinforcement provided by Elana. It is, and will be a work in progress but I’ve also gained confidence in handling my dog around other animals.
Training has now become a regular part of our routine. Elana is very dedicated and respectful and she focuses on training and educating the dogs as well as the humans.”
