  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.

Working, Working, Working…

Wow, it has really been a super long time since I have made a post. That’s how busy I’ve been. So this post is to catch everyone up. We can start with my health, thank you to the readers who emailed me and were concerned I am doing well. I had my surgery May 20th and am doing fine with it. I am now receiving a weekly infusion of medication. A nurse comes to my house and she’s like here all day from 9am until about 5 or 6pm. The infusion lasts 6 hours and I have to have a bag of fluids before and a bag of fluids after the infusion. My nurse is awesome. We talk and watch lifetime movies lol. And of course I’ve been working on my business with my computer. I also have new medication that I’m having to take for my Gastroparesis. This is IV medication and it is helping to keep me out of the Emergency Room which is great. I’m nervous because my port is accessed 24/7 now but I feel I’m doing good at keeping it and the area around it sterile. I feel like I’m my own nurse when I have to draw it up in a syringe from the vial and take the needle off and then give the medicine to myself.

So I started this medicine and my first adventures in dog training happened. I decided to go to my boxer schutzhund clubs training in Illinois @ a friends house. She had room for me to stay in her house which was nice. My nurse hooked me up with a portable IV pole, and portable sharps container. I had my small suitcase packed with nothing but medications and supplies, that alone almost made me chicken out on going. But I did anyway. I took both Tia and Capone. We had a great time, one of the members is a physicians assistant so we knew if something bad happened we at least had her there. But things went great, pups did great and it was good to get back on the field. I think Chris took it a little easy on me. But I survived my first weekend training with port accessed and having to take meds around the clock.

I did so well I decided to go to the next weekends training in Omro, Wisconsin at Minna and Chris’s house. I did get an AirBnB which was only a room but $44 and it was great for what I needed. I stayed an extra day at Minna and Chris’s and did some obedience with Minna before driving back to Kentucky. Here’s some pictures that Minna took of Me and Tia last Sunday.

We have come to the conclusion that I need to focus on one dog. So Mr.Capone’s IGP career is going to be over and we are going to pursue other easier dog sports with him. My main focus now is Tia and getting her BH and her ZTP (Breed Suitability Test) by the end of this year. Then she will be bred. It’s so hard for me to do this to Mr.Capone but I understand the reasoning behind it. Its hard enough to do one dog and me being as sick as I am trying to do two at one time is just way too much for me. I am sad but it will be ok.

Since I’ve been back I started taking a Dog Training Business course and it has been a total game changer for how I will operate my business in the future. A huge learning curve is happening. If you haven’t noticed the website looks a bit different and I am now more active on social media. I’ve also changed my programs to make them less confusing. It’s a twelve week course and we are halfway through it. So make sure you check back and see all the changes. Trust me I haven’t just disappeared off the face of the planet, just working hard behind the scenes and revamping some things. I have new content that I want to post about as well. I will get started on that too sometime next week, so stay tuned and Happy Training!!
