  4. 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.

Tia by the Haus of Boxer Banner and her Demo area!

So this weekend we did a vendor show at the Fairgrounds, all in all made some contacts, got some interested people but OVERALL it was kind of a bust. I will give my reasons for believing it overall was a bust shortly. Here was the schedule:

Thursday- was set up day from 5PM-10PM. Got there around 6PM to set everything up. Well they moved me from the spot mapped out and put me along a wall and they felt so bad about doing it that they gave me an extra 8ft long space next to my new spot. So I wasn’t complaining any at all, great space for me and Tia to some demos.

Friday- was there from 3-7PM. So dead I thought I saw a tumbleweed blowing in. They said that Friday was their slowest day but it was damn near dead. So waste of time really. But it was mandatory by the event coordinators and if you decided not to show up they would not work with you in the future.

Saturday- was there from 10-6PM. More traffic but still not as much as they had led one to believe there would be. No one there to watch the demos though but lots of people wanted to meet Tia and talk training with me so that was a positive. Also this day is what is called Thunder Over Louisville, its the opening event for all the Kentucky Derby events so our little event was competing with that huge event. Its held at the waterfront and an all day event to end with fireworks at night.

Sunday- was there 10-4PM. There was more traffic than Friday and Saturday. However the vendors were getting less and less. People kept packing up and leaving because they weren’t making any money because of the slow foot traffic. I actually got to do my demos for some people and talk to them about different things. A lot more people at the booth and taking my cards and freebies I had. Also got a lot of information from people for a drawing I was giving away a free 6 week in-home training package.

Overall treatment from the event coordinators were great. They allowed Tia to come in to be a demo dog and came to visit her each day. I just think with Thunder Over Louisville being this weekend it put a real damper our event. Also I don’t think the event coordinator did their very best to promote the event. There were no radio spots done, all they did was Facebook Advertising by word of sharing the page, I think Facebook Ads work when done correctly, I just don’t think it was done correctly in order to up the notability of the event.

Table set up!

The same event coordinator is having the event again in October. I haven’t decided wither or not to attend yet. I will have to think about it. Again, I think a major damper on this weekends event was the fact that it was Thunder Over Louisville, weekend and who can compete with that really.

Happy Training

Ellasha
