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.

Day one went great in Evansville. I entered Tia in Beginner Novice. She scored 197 out of 200 and got 2nd place. So proud of her. Here is video of her run: The judge said she is a very good working dog. She said the only advice she could give to me was to speed up a little bit. Don’t worry about Tia, she will definitely follow me. Now looking at the video I do move kind of slow during the normal speed. So I will try to go faster in the future but not too fast. When she said 197 i was like, ‘me? us? really’ its the highest scoring Beginner Novice routine that I’ve ever done. I’ve done 3 of these in the past with Heidi, Presco, and Capone. Day 2 did not go as planned. I think most of this was my fault. I thought we started later. However, when I arrived with my coffee in my hand thinking I was early, Beginner Novice A’s were in the ring…I had three dogs until it was me. So I busted ass to get Tia ready and do a little warm up (apparently not enough). When we got in the ring, our heeling was amazing. We did so much better than day 1. I sped up and Tia was right with me, with her attention on me. Figure 8 heeling was great too. Now the sit for exam is where we lost it all. She was so excited. When the judge touched her head she stood up. I think the judge was more disappointed than me, lol. We continued and did the rest of the exercises they were good. One the recall she didn’t wait for me to call her but we had already NQ’d with the sit for exam. Judge said again shes a great working dog and she really likes her attitude in the ring. Just have more people do the sit for exam exercise so she gets it. So we had a good take away from day 2 and improvement. There’s always GLTC’s trial in October we will have her ready by then! Happy Training! Ellasha
