Positive Reinforcement Only One-on-One Enrichment-Based Learning Skills for the Real World Partner for Life
THE DIFFERENCE
We don't just train behaviors.
We build capable, confident dogs.
Every dog is an individual. Personality, history, motivation, confidence and lifestyle all shape how a dog learns, so we work with the dog in front of us rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
Reward-based training, thoughtfully structured experiences and enrichment keep learning engaging and enjoyable, and help new skills stick.
The result isn't simply a dog who knows more commands. It's a dog who understands how to navigate their world.
MEET YOUR TRAINER
Elyse: an instinct for dogs well beyond her years
Elyse is Fairview Boarding’s senior dog specialist and lead trainer. Her knowledge of how dogs think and learn is matched by an instinct you can’t teach. She has spent eight years working with dogs, the last three as a trainer, and studied positive-reinforcement training through the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behavior.
Because she also cares for dogs here every week, she knows how each one learns, what motivates them, and when they need a break as much as a challenge.
Every session is one-on-one. Your dog never has to share their trainer’s attention, or learn in a crowded room.
