About Dog Obedience Group - Boarding, Training, Daycare

Saving dogs that lack social skills from the shelter life, or the home in the country, or being put down because they're incorrigible is the focus of my dog training and doggie daycare. Retraining the brain of the canine is my mission. This means rehabilitation from objectionable behaviors such as jumping on people, biting, chewing destructively, running away, not coming when called, pulling the owner around on the leash and lunging at others are examples. I have been trained by the great William R. Koehler, head animal trainer for Walt Disney for more than 25 years. My training strategies have been proven over the years to be effective in helping dogs become well-behaved members of the family. I also offer dog boarding in my home.

Since the first day that we brought our little French Bulldog pup Sage to Elizabeth she has been a completely different dog. She listens and is responsive and she has not had any accidents in the house. Her whole attitude is different and in a better way. Elizabeth had us change her diet to something more suitable for her needs and ever since she has had a more beautiful coat and is all around healthier and happier. Sage is so excited everytime we pull up to drop her off. She gets to have a day with all her friends which I think is another huge positive and she has grown a bond with Elizabeth like every other dog there. I've witnessed many dog trainers over the years but Elizabeth outshines them all in every way. I would, and have, recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of an amazing trainer. I promise you will get the desired results. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My partner and I were looking for a trainer. We initially sent a quote request to several near us on Friday (8/20/21). Ms.Elizabeth was the first to contact us. At first there wasn’t any issue. She requested several things for us to do at home. She offered many things, for instance mail cutting as well as flea and tick applications as well. Our little Eva would only be there 2 or if that 3 days a week. When arriving Ms.Elizabeth was pleasant and informative. Once there I sent videos to my partner so he could see the environment.There were things I saw I wasn’t sure about. Ms Elizabeth suggested that we place our 8 week old Eva on a raw chicken diet. We decided to try. By Saturday we decided not to continue the raw diet. I texted her stating we would have to revisit at a later time it didn’t sit well with her. She told me not to feed anything but chicken and what did I mean didn’t sit well. I replied she vomited. She continued to say there was no reason to stop feeding the chicken. I then stated that we have agreed to stop momentarily. Her response was it for us. She replied that she told me they do that sometimes and will eat it again. Ok. I won’t be helping you again. Good luck. My partner and I had a conversation right after due to her response. We were astounded by her response. She didn’t respect our decision. If a trainer does not respect your wishes then you shouldn’t continue or bother. I truly wish I would have spent the time to read the reviews. The experiences these owner had was spot on. I saw it for myself, I’m upset at myself that I even kept the thought of her assisting us.

Elizabeth is amazing with dogs. She always does right by them. I’ve learned a lot from her since introducing my dog Red from proper diet to behavior modification. I would highly recommend her services!!!

Truly amazing!!! Elizabeth is by far the best in her field. Our little Sage is a completely different dog than when she first started here. The difference is night and day. I have and would recommend Elizabeth time and again. Five stars isn't enough in my opinion.

BEWARE! This review is solely on my communication with Elizabeth before even deciding to bring my puppy in for doggie daycare. And before she comments saying “she doesn’t know me”, “it’s a fake review”, or “God Bless You” I have photos of our communication via email of how I was verbally attacked. I reached out to Elizabeth (via email) after reviewing her rates on her website for more clarification on her hours. I decided to take a look at the reviews and saw that she abuses the animals and is very rude. So I no longer continued communicating with her. But she emailed me EVERY SINGLE DAY to please call her until I responded. I finally decided to respond to her and let her know I was concerned about the reviews she had online. Rather than her explaining or trying to make me feel less concerned she told me verbatim: “I have many, many outstanding reviews, just recently. Seems like you’re afraid to talk to me. I am sorry for you.” So I responded letting her know that I am not afraid to speak to her and that I was aware of her positive reviews but concerned about the content of the negative ones. She was also blowing up my email with individual messages that consisted of her positive reviews in addition to her other responses. She then begins to break down one of the reviews and mention “You have texted me. You have never spoken to me.“A friend told me about this evil woman” That’s gossip. She admits to never meeting me.” But based on her reaction and reviews it’s not bad to think that they’re true because her actions speak louder than her words. She then continues to verbally attack by sending “ You have never met me. You have never spoken to me. You make judgments based on gossip. I am safer without you. God bless you.” I wasn’t going to respond but I wasn’t going to allow her to continue to send me rude messages all day long. I then tried to end the conversation by telling her to stop emailing me and that it’s wrong to be upset because I am concerned about the reviews left about her establishment. Dogs are like babies, of course people will be concerned if they plan on bringing their dog somewhere and there are reviews of abuse. It would be the same for a children’s daycare. So who knows what she could have done has I decided to bring my pup there. Also desperation is never a good sign. Just warning others if you make the decision to bring your dog there or not.
