We can't appreciate how far Professor Plum has (and we have) come without remembering Elise and the supportive role she played in helping us get him acclimated to our home and family. We are so thankful for Elise’s physical and emotional presence, and of course her expertise and guidance. "One day you'll look back on this challenge and it will feel so far away and different" is a statement Elise made during session that couldn’t be closer to the truth. Professor Plum is a spoiled old man now and sometimes if I rub his ear just right, he grunts with satisfaction. Wouldn't trade him for the world!

I reached out to Loose Leash Partnership for assistance with my geriatric dog, Ruby, a sweet high energy red healer that has recently lost her hearing. She had been trained using voice commands and now I was struggling to communicate the basics on our walks. Elise intuitively identified a non verbal approach, offered a clear explanation and it worked right away. I am very grateful for this new technique that respects Ruby and keeps her active into her Sr years.

Elise had great tips for communicating with my particularly energetic dog. Her calm, positive and fun approach to training helped remind me that walking my dog can be an enjoyable activity!

Elise is wonderful! She helped our entire family learn how to communicate with our dog, Elsa, after months of trying to learn other methods. Elise is incredibly patient with animals and humans alike and the skills we all learned are still effective today. I highly recommend working with Loose Leash Partnership.

Elise connects with dogs. She learns their motivations and uses that to train your dog to get the behavior you want. She'll give you exercises that are fun for both you and your dog, that will help build a bond as well as train.

Elise really takes the time to understand your dog. She helped a wary, reserved and often quite challenging dog discover his inner sweet cuddlebug. She is very pragmatic about balancing the need of the owners as well as the dog. I've been very lucky to have her help with my dogs over the years.
