With Ellen All the Training was Positive…We Looked Forward to Every Visit

“Good luck with that” was the unanimous exclamation from our friends and family when we let it be known that we were going to be working with Inga (7-yr old GSP / Jack Russell mix) to meet the AKC Good Citizen standards. I can’t say we disagreed with them but there was no choice if we were to be allowed into a condominium we purchased. I don’t want to claim that Ellen worked any miracles but she is definitely the canine equivalent of Anne Sullivan. Inga is amazing. She is not only a “Good Citizen”, her behavior is complimented nearly everywhere we go. The best part of this is that we are having a better time with Inga and she is getting to have more positive interactions that would have ever been possible before or work with Ellen. What we loved most about our time with Ellen is that all the training was positive and that Inga looked forward to every visit. Our only regret is that we didn’t find Ellen earlier. Our recommendation… take the step!

Ellen is Extremely Knowledgeable, Patient, Pleasant & Competent

Ellen came to us by referral to train our dog Teddy as an ADA service dog. Ellen is extremely knowledgeable, patient, pleasant, and competent. She quickly honed in on Teddy’s and our personalities and the training was personalized, based on our goals and Teddy’s progress.
As a result, Teddy passed his Canine Good Citizen and Advanced Canine Good Citizen tests. I highly recommend Ellen to help you understand how to control your dog and ensure he is safe and well behaved in public and around other dogs.

Truly Blessed to Have our Dog be Guided by Ellen

I have had the privilege of knowing Ellen for almost 4 years through the training and loving care of our sheepadoodle, Mercy. Mercy’s calm behavior and responsiveness in multiple environments and life situations is a direct credit to Ellen’s abilities as a true professional dog trainer. Additionally, Ellen has excellent people skills as well.
My wife and I are truly blessed to have our dog be touched and guided by Ellen. I know that Ellen has many other dog families she has trained who would say the same.

We Love Having Ellen Work With our Dogs, and They Love Ellen!

Ellen has worked with our dogs, three spirited English Shepherds, since they were puppies. First, through our veterinarian, Altamonte Springs Veterinarians, in basic socialization and behavior training. When Ellen left Altamonte Springs Vets to embark on her own dog training adventures, we followed her with enthusiasm. While Ellen’s work with all of our dogs collectively is beneficial, there are specific improvements with all three that are a direct result of her training. First, our oldest male, Hershey, is a timid dog who was showing signs of stress-based aggression toward strangers. Ellen’s work with Hershey (and us), has produced a dog who takes his job as protector seriously, but is easily relaxed with proper introductions and instruction.

Our female, Reese, is the alpha of the three. She is controlling, needy, and easily excitable. Ellen’s work with her brought more peace to our family as she taught Reese calming strategies and helped us learn how to handle unwanted behaviors, like pawing, barking for attention, and food demands.

Finally, our youngest pup, Oakley, has learned how to be part of our pack, including socialization, controlled feedings, house training, obedience, and general positive behavior skills. We love having Ellen work with our dogs, and they love Ellen! When she comes to the door, the dogs respond with overwhelming love and trust for her. She is an asset to them, and to our family.

Blazey came to me as a good candidate for a hearing service dog, however she was not leash trained and had a fear of loud noises and her shadow. Ellen worked her through those fears and guided her through all levels of puppy classes upon which she obtained her CGC certification. Following this she helped guide both me and Blazey through all the hearing dog requirements which she then went on and passed.
