I’ll care for your dog like my own

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for low, medium, and high energy dogs, small, medium, and large breeds, friendly and reactive. I’ve dealt with food allergies, leash-pulling, SQUIRRELS! and anxious dogs. I got my dog as a 3-month old puppy and trained him myself using LIMA, positive reinforcement. He has allergies, is reactive to other dogs, and is extremely smart and athletic. He is also trained in the basics, running with me, scent work, counter conditioned (getting much better with the reactivity), etc. I will treat your baby like my own. I can work with puppies, young dogs, and adults.

Elana is the best! I would trust her with my fur baby any day. She knows a lot about dog training and is good to talk to about nutrition, training, and vet care. Her own dog is a high-energy, high-needs dog adopted from the shelter, and Elana has been a perfect dog parent for him. My dog has bad recall and has some food allergies, but Elana was super knowledgeable of how to deal with that and super attentive to those kinds of issues.

Elana is a dog whisperer. I have never seen her meet a dog that didn’t like her. She loves dogs, and they love her. She adopted her own dog from a rescue organization and raised him from a puppy. She has trained him exceptionally well and has kept him in excellent health. He is a big dog around 60-70 pounds. She has also cared for numerous other dogs, including my dog Hazel, who is about 45-50 pounds. Elana is very knowledgeable about dogs, dog training (positive reinforcement methods), and keeping dogs healthy and happy. She is very capable of dog sitting and walking almost any dog even if the dog requires special care, a special diet, or some extra patience due to anxiety or other issues. I have ask her for advice about dog training myself. She has more experience with medium and large dogs but can handle any size dog. Elana would be a great choice for a dog walker or dog sitter.
