On training

I am not certain it is possible to have a puppy without Elisabeth! To me Elisabeth does what no other trainer can (or is willing to commit to) and takes customer service to an entirely new level. I secretly think she has Petzi and Cosi trained to answer emails – it’s the only explanation. She has become such a support system providing me with endless skills, knowledge and tranquility through all the magical little “puppy crisis” moments along the way. To Madison, she is playtime!

Having grown up in a house surrounded by horses and dogs I was reluctant to get a trainer, as I clearly knew what I was doing.
Think again! Madison was a far cry from the “I’ll do anything for you” labs I grew up with. She was a pint-sized ball of nervous fun with so much enthusiasm that needed directing. From the day we first met Elisabeth I knew this would be the best thing I could do for myself, and my dog.

Before Elisabeth I was worried I would be evicted because my little Pomeranian screamed and barked as soon as I walked out of her line of sight. After 2 sessions and a couple emailed instructions Madison learned that sitting, not screaming, gets her everything she desires.

It is amazing to watch Elisabeth interact with Madison because you can see how she listens to the dog and tailors the training to them.

In the beginning of our training when Madison was literally bouncing off her, she used that energy and made her focus on tricks that played to Madison’s innate ability to spin around. Once trust was gained she progressed to more “serious” games and now I can proudly say that my pup will sit still whenever she needs to; something I know would not have happened without Elisabeth.

Maddie and I are so grateful a Google search placed her in our lives and can’t imagine life without her!

All we can say about Elisabeth is that she saved us!  What a professional!!
We brought home two 12-week old puppies from the North Shore Animal League in May and although we were excited and loved them immediately, there was a lot of reorganizing to do around the house.  First and foremost was to start having the pups house trained .

Of course, we didn’t think about this BEFORE we brought the puppies home.  We were so excited because they were so cute and cuddly that getting them home was all we cared about.  Then reality set in!  Big time!  Elisabeth came so highly recommended from a woman that we met while sitting in the waiting room of our veterenarian’s office that we called her immediately when we arrived back home.

The beauty of this story is that Elisabeth came to our rescue THAT SAME DAY!  When I called her, she asked me a bunch
of questions about what was happening and she gave very helpful advice over the phone so that we could get through the night without barking puppies!  We were hooked on Elisabeth from that moment on because she showed us immediately that she cared.  She cared and she knew exactly what she was talking about.

That was almost four months ago and today, our puppies are incredibly well-behaved and learning more and more everyday.  They are approaching seven months old and we can not believe the difference in them in such a short amount of time.  The joy they bring is incredible anyway but imagine the joy they bring when there is zero chaos?  We are having the time of our lives with them and we would not be in this position if it were not for Elisabeth’s incredible knowledge and talent with animals.  The puppies absolutely adore her and it just makes us smile.  We are confident they are getting the best of care and for us, that makes all the difference.

We highly highly highly recommend Elisabeth and would be happy to talk to anyone looking for a
referral.  There is no one better!
