Elite K9 Training Ranch

Monique helped my girl (fear based, reactive pit bull mix), find her confidence. She helped me tremendously in learning how to be her leader and made me understand that my dog wouldn’t be a quick fix. Monique’s approach is for lasting growth; she gave us the tools for our life together. When you have a difficult dog, reframing that relationship is necessary and Monique helped me understand that my dog and I could work together for the long haul. 💜🐾

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Monique! She has worked with both of our pit bulls, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only are they much more comfortable and confident, but walks have become so much easier and more enjoyable for all of us. She has such a calm, knowledgeable approach and really took the time to understand each of our dogs’ personalities and needs. We appreciated how patient and supportive she was throughout the entire process, and she gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing everything at home. We truly love the results and are so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on our dogs (and our daily lives!). Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and effective trainer!

This is the highest rating I can give Monique and her Elite K9 Training Ranch in Paulden, AZ. Monique's intuitive read and empowering handling transformed our fearful, extremely reactive, very headstrong, and very smart dog. Prior training efforts taught him skill performance but did not make him comfortable or safe with people, new things, or other dogs. Bentley's process was not quick or easy. Monique's understanding and work with Bentley's specific needs gained his attention and trust. He returns to us slip lead leash and e-collar trained. He is focused and working while maintaining Place and treadmill sessions. Bentley is calm, responsive, and confident. Now it's our turn. Thank you soooo much, Monique!
