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.

Weekly Training Notes 8/26/2018
Hey Everyone! Been super busy training and making strides. This week I got to train 3 days in a row. So I will go day by day. Thursday I got up and got my butt in gear and took Capone and Tia tracking. Both did good but I messed up Capone’s circle track. Here’s video of Tia tracking. She is tracking 50 paces, corner, then 10 paces! Friday I went to etown to train with Christina and Diamond. Tracking went good, Capone did good on his circle track and Tia did well on her track. Even with the higher grass, she did very well. I was proud of both of them. During obedience, it was all handler error. I would give a command and a gesture at the same time instead of saying the came then doing the gesture. I know better but I always seem to screw it up when it counts lol. I just need more repetition. We did the beginner novice routine because I plan on taking her to Evansville next month to get two legs towards that title. We also worked some downs with both Tia and Capone. Capone with distractions. Saturday we did tracking. Tia graduated to 100 paces, corner, 25 paces with an article at the end. She did great. I was very impressed and I got to see what consistency does. She has tracked Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and I saw the improvement. I gotta let this motivate me into tracking at least three times a week with her and Capone if not more. Capone did a lot better on his circle track as well. Christina said he’s almost ready for straight tracks. Obedience went great both Tia and Capone are learning to platz on command rather than waiting for a gesture. The only thing wrong is me, lol. I need to get my corrections together. For example, I should give the command (Platz) wait, if they don’t do it say NO then correction with the leash, then say “good” when they do platz. Instead, I’m giving platz command and doing gesture at the same time, also I keep saying “platz” instead of “NO”, I gotta get it together. So that is what I will be working on this week is my own faults lol. Protection went great, Tia actually targetted the middle of the sleeve. So proud of her. She’s getting better. Capone did some long bites for the first time. He’s gonna have to do two long bites and drives for his breed survey (ZTP) next month. Sorry no pics of training, I was super focused on trying to get them ready for upcoming trials. All in all great three day training week. Happy Training. Ellasha
