My pit mix, Mocha has a very sweet demeanor, but some bad habits that I needed to break. She’s 19 months old and still a puppy but it was giving me anxiety taking her out because she would pull on a leash and get so excited and become reactive when she saw other dogs. I did 3 training sessions with Elisa and I was amazed at how much we were able to fix during a short time. She now walks great on a leash and doesn’t pull, I can have her lay on her dog bed and stay when people come to the door so she doesn’t go jump on them and Ive learned the skills to recall her if she gets out the door or wants to take off after something distracting. I feel much more at ease after… read full review

We can't recommend Elisa and Fit Dog Training enough!
We first heard about Elisa through a neighbor whose dog, Rex, is a perfect example of the healthy, versatile freedom we wanted for our own dog, Mitch. From our very first meeting, Elisa took the time to understand our goals and create a training plan that was the perfect fit for us. With a variety of packages and price ranges, she made it easy to find an approach that worked for our needs.
Elisa came to our home and worked with both me and my husband, helping us build on our strengths and giving us practical tools we could use every day. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and hands-on. She explains the… read full review
Elisa at Fit Dog Training is the real deal.
Our 2-year-old rescue golden Bear had a rough first year and came to us with fear-based social issues around people and other dogs. In just five sessions over seven weeks, Elisa transformed him —- and transformed how we communicate with him.
She’s patient, intuitive, and truly gifted with dogs who’ve had a hard start. And even now that training is done, she’s just a call away if we need her. Bear is thriving and we could not be more grateful. Highly recommended.
