I have been successfully training dogs for many years. I was bitten by the "training bug" when I was but 5 years old, training our rescued mixed breed dog alongside my mother at Home Away From Home's training facility. This love of training and bonding with my dog has turned into a lifelong passion. I was very successful in dog training programs through 4H, ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America), and AKC (American Kennel Club). I have trained dogs and competed in advanced levels of Obedience through both ASCA and AKC, and was awarded several Certificates of Merit as well as placed third in the Nation in obedience with my dog and I have trained two of my own personal Service Dogs. I currently train dogs every day of the week. It is not just a hobby, but a way of life and a passion. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to turn dog training into a career About My Services I offer my following services to dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments and breeds: I am willing to negotiate prices for long-term situations or if you are on a budget Dog Boarding Drop-In Visits Doggy Day Care Dog Training In Person Dog Grooming Price varies based on breed, coat & service time.

I have 7 reviews on my Rover profile. Check out what my clients had to say: "Elliot is one of the most responsible, caring individuals I've ever met. He goes above and beyond what pet sitting duties generally entail or what I "expect" from a pet sitter. Not only do I get a full verbal report about my pets, I can tell he's actually spent time getting to know them and their individual personalities and quirks. He obviously plays with the dogs and they love him. The joy they emanate tells me they enjoy being with him. To top it off, he gives me excellent training tips and is qualified to train them for me if I choose to have him do so. If you need to leave your pet with someone, THIS young man should be your first choice. He's top notch! " --Debra N. "Elliot is a very kind and caring person. He loves his dogs and treats them all like family. Excellent in dog training expertise as well." --Jacen L. To read more of reviews, go to http://....com Want to learn more about my services?
