Elite K9 Training Ranch

I do not know where we would be without Monique. I truly do not. Our dogs Morgan and Joey had lived together without issue for 11 months and then we started having major problems. Fights would erupt out of nowhere (or so we thought). We were living with them separated. Two different trainers we worked with were biased regarding mixed breed/rescue dogs and left us with little hope. The rescue we adopted Joey from recommended Monique with Elite K9 Training Ranch. Our evaluation was unlike anything I have ever experienced. SHE KNOWS DOGS!!! Like, really knows dogs. Truly, she is a dog whisperer. Joey had a 4 week board and train. She gave us homework to work on with Morgan at home. I was apprehensive at first about leaving my ‘kid’ for 4 weeks but now she is the one we board our pups with when we go away. She cares about them like they are her own and she provides a secure, protected and balanced environment. We have now worked with Monique for over a year. Board and train for Joey in 2023 then weekly group classes in Prescott with the occasional get away boarding. Every time I am around her I learn something new and my relationship with my dogs has never been better. Looking back on the past year I can now say that I am glad our dogs fought and led us to Monique. I am a better leader and advocate for my dogs. I am a better human too. Monique’s real ability is teaching us, the humans, how to be better for our dogs and how to listen to what they are telling us and be the leader they need. It takes work, dedication and patience but, wow, is it worth it! Thank you Monique for everything. Our home, ourselves and our ‘kids’ are so much better because of you.

Monique at Elite K9 Training Ranch is a miracle worker. Although my 14 month old Coton de Tulear, Elsa, was not a bad dog she had some issues I wanted training help to fix, since she had been only with her breeder for 11 months of her life. She was a bolter out the door. She was unconfident in new surroundings. She was jumping on people. She got car sick. She did not walk well on a leash. Monique was recommended by a friend with a very well behaved bully breed dog that had been to the ranch and I wanted the best behaved Elsa I could have. After 3 weeks with Monique, I have a wonderful dog who has overcome all her issues. She’s not perfect yet, but Monique has taught me how to be a better dog mom and Elsa and I are having fun training together. I think her training me and Elsa was the best thing I have ever done with a dog! She is a miracle trainer….

I had an exceptional experience at Elite K9 Training Ranch. Monique is very knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about helping both dogs and owners. My dog made remarkable progress, and I appreciated the personalized approach tailored to our specific needs. Her follow up training goes above and beyond too. I highly recommend Monique for anyone seeking effective and compassionate dog training. A definite five stars!
