I took a dogs and baby/toddler course when I was first pregnant with Elysia. I learned so much about dog body language and behavior. This helped me prepare the meeting of my dog and baby so that they had a good relationship from the start. I focused on training my little one with the information from Elysia how to behave around dogs, especially his own dog. My dog not only tolerated him but they became very good friends. With an extremely unfortunate accident I lost my dog tragically. Since my son loved his dog so much, we adopted a 6 month old puppy shortly after. Again, I used the information from Elysia to ensure that their relationship was safe and loving. My puppy and toddler are truly the best of friends. I feel very confident going forward that I have the tools learned from this course to continue having a safe and loving relationship forever. I have since added a newborn to the mix and the relationship has already started off on the right foot/paw, thanks to the course I took. I can't say enough great things about Elysia and the course she teaches.

Elysia has been a great help and resource for us when I felt like I needed help understanding our new dog last year. Being a big dog (German Shepard/Great Dane), I was afraid I wouldn't be strong enough to be able to control him if the situation arose. She helped me understand how he learns and helped us learn positive habits that ended up making walks enjoyable instead of something to worry about. I loved working with Elysia and the believe her advice was an invaluable part of life with our new dog!

Elysia is excellent, lots of great tips and very patient. Answered all my questions well.
