  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.

Weekly Training Notes 7/15/2018
Well, our training this week is in two pieces. We had training on Wednesday and Saturday. So I will start with the training on Wednesday. Wednesday Tracking- I learned how to not lay the track as if I was on a balance beam LOL. So plus for me and I got to see the difference in my dogs’ tracking. So much better. Both Capone and Tia did very well on their tracks. Obedience- Tia did good, me on the other hand gotta get my stamina up to play with her and keep her drive up. She’s great when she’s in her high drive. I just gotta not run out of gas and keep her there. I also need to continue working on my coordination. Protection- Capone did beautifully. He should not have a problem being ready for the ZTP (Breed Survey) in September. His grips are great and he’s starting to learn his blind work and how to Revere. Tia is slipping a little in her protection work. She’s not as vocal, and she has a serious targeting issue. She wants to bite toward the elbow where the material is soft vs. the middle of the sleeve. Diamond has some ideas to fix this with her. Saturday Saturday went sort of better. Tracking- Both did a straight line track of 50 paces. I also used a different treat, the Bil-Jac treats and it helped me to lay my tracks more quickly. Again, I have to get out and track more. But both did well on the longer track. They have only been doing 15-20 pace tracks so I was super proud of them for doing so well. Obedience- Tia did great. It may be time to move on from just healing like doing recalls. Her heeling looked super good. I’m so proud of her. I love working with her. Protection- Tia did good, still working on her targeting the sleeve. Barking was a lot better than last week. Capone did not do so well this week in protection. He has Spondylosis which interferes with the lining of the spine and at times can be painful. Boy, it showed. So I put him up and now I’m researching treatments for when his spondylosis gets to be bothersome to him. He’s never looked like he was so much pain before. I let him rest this week and didn’t do a private lesson with Christina and Diamond. So Saturday we will see how he feels. Well, that’s about all for now. Sorry, this is so late in the week, I try to get it done by Monday. I had a lot of Business running around this week. It’s been super crazy. Plus Amazon had their Prime Day, yep they got me. But I did get some amazing deals and all will be shipped to me by the end of the week. Win! Happy Training, Ellasha
