A little about our Owner and Head Trainer, Ellasha Ferriell, was born and raised in the south end of Louisville, and recognizes there is a dire need for PROFESSIONAL QUALITY and EDUCATIONAL DOG TRAINING.

WHY CHOOSE US?

With the field of DOG TRAINING NOT BEING REGULATED (meaning you don’t have to go through a qualification process to say you are a “professional dog trainer”, you don’t have to hold a certificate, although there are some programs that do “certify” people. You can watch a bunch of YouTube Videos, charge people an ungodly amount of money, like $5000 (for a 2-week training program), and call yourself a dog trainer. For our beloved, unsuspecting, and trusting pet owners, it can seem impossible to find a dog trainer who isn’t a scam artist, aligns with your training philosophies, and can actually fix the issues you are having with your dog. EVOLUTION DOG TRAINING, LLC tries to alleviate that stress in making that choice very easy for you by spotlighting the differences in our programs, what we focus on, which dog trainers we consider mentors, and whose training theories we follow, and those we don’t follow. We explain why we don’t follow those theories or philosophies. The dog training world is ever-changing, and we are always trying to follow suit. Ellasha attends at least three professional training conferences and events to keep current in the world of dog training. SPOTLIGHTING THE DIFFERENCES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR PROGRAMS FROM OTHER DOG TRAINING COMPANIES:

1. WE REALIZE THAT EACH DOG IS INDIVIDUAL. WE DO NOT SELL YOU A COOKIE-CUTTER PACKAGE. EVERY DOG LEARNS DIFFERENTLY. THIS IS WHY WE DO CONSULTS WITH EVERY DOG THAT COMES TO US WANTING TRAINING.

2. WE ARE ALWAYS LEARNING. Ellasha is big on education and continuing education. But also requires her trainers to do these annual trainings as well. Whether that training is in the form of a conference, specialized certifications (Pet First-Aid & CPR, E-Collar Training, Understanding Dog Psychology, Volunteering at Various Rescue Shelters, Shadowing Behaviorists, etc.), specialized training workshops, seminars, with known experts, elite instructors, dog sport champions, etc, in dog training.

3. OUR GROUP CLASS SIZE are ALWAYS small in size. Group classes have a SEVEN (7) DOG CAP. If we pack too many dogs in the class someone is bound to fall through the cracks and we want to prevent that from happening as much as possible.

4. WE OFFER COMPETITIVE COACHING. AFTER YOU’VE DONE THE PUBLIC MANNERS CLASSES, THE NEXT LEVEL IS COMPETITIVE OBEDIENCE, AND RALLY. WE HAVE TEAMS THAT TRAVEL AND TRIAL TOGETHER AS A GREAT SUPPORT UNIT. WE ALSO HAVE OTHER ACTIVITIES YOU AND YOUR DOG CAN GET INVOLVED IN, SUCH AS: AKC FAST CAT, AKC COMPETITIVE OBEDIENCE TEAM, AKC COMPETITION RALLY TEAM, Evolution Dog Team Membership (includes key FoB Access to the building). AKC EVOLUTION FIT DOG CLUB- SCHEDULED WALKS, HIKES, FITNESS CLASSES TO GET POINTS THAT GO TOWARDS AKC FIT CLUB TITLES. OUR CLUB IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE.

5. WE DON’T TEACH YOUR DOG TO SIT. WE TEACH YOU AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE SYSTEM THAT CAN BE DUPLICATED. WE FIGURE OUT WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR DOG. We’d like to show you how to use that to your advantage to share the behavior. We want TO ASK. It’s NOT ABOUT mimicking a behavior. It’s A LOT MORE TO IT THAN THAT, AS YOU WILL SEE. We will explain everything THAT WE ARE SHOWING YOU TO DO AND WHY WE ARE DOING IT. Please introduce yourself and ask any questions you may have about this process. Oh, AND I ALMOST FORGOT, THE BOND THAT WILL GROW BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DOG IS AWESOME. YOU ARE SHOWING YOUR DOG HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU. I’D LIKE YOU TO TAKE THE TIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW HE LEARNS BEST AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT THAT BEHAVIOR.

Boxnen's Republic of Love Conformation Dog Shows IABCA Tia

June 27, 2018March 14, 2023 Ellasha Ferriell 0 Comments Posted at 9:00 am

This past weekend I went to St.Louis for an International All-Breed Canine Association (IABCA) conformation show. Ok from the starts let’s just get one thing straight. I hate conformation. I know it’s a necessary evil but I don’t like doing it. Conformation is where your dog prances around the ring and looks pretty. It’s very boring but hey ya gotta do it if you want a well-rounded dog. So I made the trip to St.Louis, Purina Farms to show. I met Tia’s breeder Minna and her sister there. We shared a hotel room. Friday night was spent having girl time and drinking wine lol. Saturday the real fun began. There are no pictures from Saturday because Me and Minna didn’t realize we’d both be in the ring at the same time, showing Tia and her sister Fire. Going into the weekend I had no expectations except to get Tia’s International Championship. I didn’t really care how she placed. Especially going against her sister Fire. She just can’t compete with her. Fire always wins, lol. So we are happy getting 2nd or even 3rd place. In the first and second show on Saturday Tia got 3rd place but V-1 ratings. Meaning her conformation was very excellent. After the 2nd show we went to the St. Louis Arch which for the love of God had so many stairs. I almost died. It was a long day. We didn’t get back to the hotel until 10 or 11 PM. I was so freaking tired, I couldn’t even drink my wine. I fell asleep after taking two sips lol. Here are some pics from the weekend.

And of course we can’t forget Arch pictures:

All in all it was a really good trip. Got some great critiques about Tia and she got her International Championship. So now she is V Int. CH Boxnen’s Republic of Love. So proud of her and her hotel behavior. She was so good at the hotel. Here are some pics that Minna took of her sleeping with me.

So that’s all for now. Happy Training. Ellasha *Update* July 23, 2018 Our official picture from the IABCA Show came in
