FirstBarkThis is the best trainer I have ever worked with. This is our second dog that Ellie has worked with and I can not say enough about how she is able to read dogs and train owners to best work with them. Our dog has some issues with aggression towards other dogs and Ellie has given us the tools to manage it and give our rescue dog the best life she could have. Thank you Ellie!

We have taken 2 puppies to Ellie for puppy training. Ellie does a great job of teaching basic puppy skills. She is very good at answering any questions you have and works with you to accomplish your goals.
Ellie is attentive, patient, non-judgemental, and very helpful. You can really tell she loves helping you have success in training your dog, and will work with you beyond just the first attempt to figure out how to work best with your pet!
I have always been so pleased with Ellie Bell and her Group Classes and Private Lessons with my Doberman and my two German Shepherds. Ellie's professionalism and knowledge of dog behavior and training made all the difference in the world for me and my dogs! Ellie is truly Top Notch!

Thank you, Ellie for keeping me and my pet safe and for teaching us how to be safe. It was apparent the first time we met you that you love dogs and want the best for dogs and their owners. Classes and lessons are always fun. You taught us how to communicate with each other so that we connect. You scheduled my lessons according to my convenience. Because you recognized the unique problems we faced, you tailored your classes to our needs. No time was wasted as you kept the class going while giving information. You never assumed I knew anything yet you always treated us with dignity and respect. I never felt diminished or like our issues were unimportant. I felt like our time together was the most important thing on your schedule. I can tell by conversation that you are very well educated about dogs and their behaviors. You seek opportunities to continue your education. As a professional, I can’t tell you how grateful I am that I found you. Thank you so much.
