Canine Training Services - Tacoma, WA

My sister and I have been taking our GSD Mix, Cypress, for the last 2 years. Prior to introducing him to Elliott, Cypress was becoming a bit more territorial and aggressive, even towards people whom he's known his entire life, including my parents. This was making it difficult for us to invite others over and take him out on walks. Since then, he's been much more cordial with humans and other dogs. It's been great having Elliott take Cypress out to socialize with other dogs at his business, dog parks, and even retirement homes in the Tacoma area to socialize with people. It's definitely more than just a business to Elliott, as he has built and maintained meaningful relationship not just with our dogs, but with many other clients.

We were fairly new to the breed Cane Corso. Our male Odin, 153 lbs, was in desperate need of some training before it got away from us. Elliot worked wonders for Odin taught him great recall, manners, and helped with his confidence. I highly recommend using him he’s knowledgeable, and has your work with your dog as well which helped us. Odin is now the best boy due to his training techniques.

Working with Elliott with our two dogs has been a fantastic experience. Elliott brings a level of professionalism and expertise that we haven’t gotten with past trainers and I assume is rare to find. One of our dogs struggles with fear based aggression and Elliott has been instrumental in identifying and addressing these issues. We’ve made strides over the past month in working with Elliott that would not have been possible without his help. I’m looking forward to continue to work with him and am hopeful with his direction we can make a positive change in our dogs behaviors.

Elliot is amazing at what he does. Our dog was needing some direction with commands while on a leash and off. After Elliott trained her in some 1x1 sessions she was able to follow orders immediately! In fact, the first time he entered my home, my dog listed to him better than she ever did with us. My dog loves him so much. Elliott shared some tips and tricks to keep her in control and he even trained her to get help when someone in the house was having a medical emergency. That was years ago and our doggo is still the best trained girl. Simply amazing results, don’t waste your money anywhere else, let Elliott work his magic and train your pup, no matter what stage of training they’re at.

I have seen so much progress with my dog Cherry after working with Elliot! I’ve had two dog trainers in the past that were unsuccessful with resolving my dog’s reactivity. Truly, Cherry has made such an improvement and not only that, I now have the tools to continue that progress thanks to Elliot. I highly recommend him! He is knowledgeable and passionate about dog training.

Elliot is an amazing trainer. Our dog was feral for the first year of his life, and we got him as a rescue from Texas. Since working with Elliot, he can now walk freely in the park with confidence. Elliot is the real deal!
