Testimonials
“I had the most amazing experience with Ken, the owner trainer, from Elton Dog Training. I just got a four month old Argentine Dogo puppy and he is deaf. Ken was so patient, and able to provide incredible tools to communicate with this pup. He was able to immediately stop the dog from chewing and removing things from my bookcase, attacking his siblings, and so many issues I needed help with. I feel like there is hope, and I am so very grateful for Ken’s expertise, knowledge and generosity too. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a dog.”
– Client
“Ken is the most amazing dog trainer. He truly takes the time to work with you and your dog. He was able to work with my dog who is partially blind and deaf and teach me the tools I needed to properly train him. My dog had excited leash reactivity and within one session it was corrected. Ken is so sweet with dogs, he does not use any harsh corrective measures, he simply teaches you the best approach. He continues to text and follow up even after training is complete.”
– Client
“Ken was amazing! Not only was he great with our dogs but he was patient with us humans 😉 We have three young pitties. I’ve used chain store training classes in the past but this was so much better! I feel like as a family we got so much more out of it. The pups were less distracted in their own environment, we were able to ask whatever questions and it was much less stressful.”
