  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.

2019 USA BOX IGP Working Championship

It really just dawned on me that I never wrote a piece about the USA BOX IGP Championship. Geez. My brain. Well this year it was in Rockford, IL which was on about a 5-6 hour drive for me. I took Tia and Capone to attempt to get our BH again. I honestly didn’t think I was going to be able to go until a week before because of finances with hotel. However a friend let me stay at her house (which happened to be where the championship was being held).

So I got up there Friday afternoon used the field a little bit with both Capone and Tia. I was super confident in Capone but Tia not so much. But during run through on Friday she didn’t do so badly. After that I got cleaned up and we all went to dinner where we almost got kicked out for foul language (no surprise! LOL). But restaurant had the best lobster ravioli though.

So Saturday was D-day. Capone and I were paired up with Minna and Beso. We had the long down first. I put Capone in long down, walked away and bladed my body towards him and he got up and came towards me. The judge, Waine Singleton, let me put him back in a down. He did NOT get back up. I was sure we failed. But Waine let me do the obedience routine. I was so confused. So I just was like ‘ok this is good practice’ so me and Capone just did the whole obedience routine. He did everything well except his recall. He ran behind me then came in front and then did his finish. But I was ok with that especially in my mind because I’m still thinking we failed. So after that I approached the judge and he said come on over for critique and I’m like “We failed right?” and he shook his head and said “Just come on over”. At the end of critique we passed and moved on to traffic portion in which Capone passed with flying colors so he earned his BH title. So proud of my boy. Love that man. The reason we passed is because when Capone got up from his long down Minna hadn’t started her obedience routine and it didn’t count so the judge has the authority to let me reset the dog. Below are some pics from Capone’s BH.

So Sunday was a different story. Tia was her typical self and right when I took her lead off she ran free. Minna suggested I try CBD Oil next time I try. Chris (Minna’s husband) suggested using my e-collar to fix the problem. She’s got to at least get her BH. But other than that it was a very fun weekend. Cant wait for next year.
