  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.

Well, this week has been super busy! Unexpectedly, we are now traveling to Battle Ground, Washington in a couple weeks for USA Box IPO Nationals. I had no plans of going since it’s in Washington state. Tia’s breeder and my friend Minna has talked me into driving with her there. She has also talked me into trying for Tia and Capone’s BH. They are so not ready, but we are trying to get them there. I am working super hard on their obedience to get them there by the time we leave. I will leave Monday the 17th to go to Minna’s house in Wisconsin then Tuesday we will set out for Washington. Two ladies, and a bunch of doggies, LOL. This is gonna be fun and hilarious, so standby for that post. September is going to be a super busy month aside from Training here’s my dog schedule: Sept 6th- Training with Christina and Diamond Sept 7-9 Evansville- Tia AKC BN legs Sept 14- IPO Training with Diamond Sept 17th- Leave for Wisconsin Sept 18th- Leave for Washington Sept 21-23- USA Box IPO Working Nationals- Tia and Capone BH Sept 28-29- USA Box Sieger Show in Rockford, Illinois- Capone ZTP Plus everyday training on my own trying to get Tia and Capone ready for BH. It’s going to be a bit busy and stressful but I have to remember to take breaks and breathe. Training this week went ok. However, Capone has been showing some behaviors we don’t quite understand. He’s acting bothered by people when he comes on the field. He’s never done this before and it’s definitely affecting the way he is in protection. If Diamond does the work then he’s ready to bite but he won’t self-activate and it’s becoming problematic since we are working long bites for his ZTP (breed survey) at the end of the month. It’s totally stressing me out and I don’t understand why he’s doing it. We decided to ask Minna’s husband Chris Becher is there anything we can do to get him through this weird phase. His obedience is doing great, we just have to work on recalls during our next training session. I think Monday I am going to take him and Tia to the church and work recalls using a long line. Tia’s obedience and protection work are awesome and she’s coming right along in Tracking. She’s doing really well. Yesterday she bit the pillow in the middle and I think she’s getting her targeting down. Christina and Diamond have been working us hard to get ready for the BH in a couple of weeks. It’s definitely not going to be pretty BH’s but we may get through it. In closing, I may not be posting a whole lot this month because I will be super busy with training. Keep up with me on Twitter, I may be posting new pics and updates. Also, I have a new client dog that I’m super excited about he’s a 12 week old German Shepherd mix puppy named Moose. So be looking out for my introduction post about him! That is all for now! Happy Training! Also, have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!   Ellasha
