Cypress Dog Training is a family-focused dog training service led by Ed Ellingson, offering private, in-home lessons designed to help dog owners build a respectful and enjoyable relationship with their pets. Ed focuses on real-world behavior solutions, teaching the three core commands: come when called, go when told, and not being a jerk in between. He emphasizes clear communication, structure, and practical training that works in everyday situations, avoiding overly technical jargon. Ed uses a balanced approach that combines firmness with kindness, and he tailors his methods to each dog’s personality and the owner’s lifestyle. He also connects clients with other canine professionals when specialized help is needed, such as for anxiety or fear aggression.

Ed brings his own well-behaved dog, Charlie, to sessions as a living example of successful training and as a mentor for nervous or reactive puppies. His clients report significant improvements in leash walking, jumping, barking, reactivity, and overall obedience, with many noting that Ed trains the owner as much as the dog. He is flexible with scheduling, accommodating busy families and work routines, and his sessions are described as effective, thorough, and results-driven.

Ed has been recommended by multiple clients as the most effective trainer among those they’ve worked with across multiple states.
