We can only say wonderful things about Elisabeth.  We got Sydney, an 8 week old Weimaraner puppy, and didn’t have any of the proper training tools in our pockets.  Sydney lived in a rule free house until he was 8 months old.  Although we loved him very much, we were getting frustrated with his inability to settle down in the house.  We were considering various training methods when a fellow Weimaraner owner referred us to Elisabeth.  All we can say is what a blessing!  Immediately upon meeting Elisabeth we knew she was the right trainer for us.  Her methods are loving and gentle while producing the desired result–a well trained companion!  Sydney immediately loved her and responded to her techniques after the first session.  He now lives in a home with rules that requires him to use his mind and enables him to settle while in the house.  We have been working with Elisabeth for a few months and Sydney is a different dog!  He still has his loving, gentle, funny personality while being able to listen and respond to commands.  As Sydney continues to work with Elisabeth every week he continues to come leaps and bounds from the rule free puppy he once was.

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!
