"Elise is the major agility influence and trainer in my life. I am inspired by her beautiful and skilled handling in competition. I have been a student since 2000, initially with my adopted Doberman pinscher, Rosie, who has strong distance skills thanks exclusively to Elise. She now coaches my enthusiastic standard poodle puppy, Louie Louie. We LOVE our privates and are looking forward to having them more regularly in her new training facility!!!"

I have been to several of Elise's seminars and absolutely love them! Elise is patient, extremely helpful and kind. She able to adjust her training methods to the level of the dog running at the time. Elise's helpful suggestions and encouragement prompted me to keep working hard with my difficult high drive dog. She gave us training methods and encouragement to keep working on our issues where other trainers had told me my dog was "impossible". I credit Elise for getting us "over the hump" and improving our teamwork to the point where the "wild child" and I are able to succeed!

Elise, Thank you for a great seminar for all the reasons and more as I stated on the NOMAD list. Just so you know, my praise is not faint. I taught skiing for 15 years and was a staff trainer here at Sugarbush. For that reason, I received a lot of education as to HOW to coach effectively. Catching your student doing something right and identifying strengths and using them to help improve performance are talents that are essential. Your ability to individualize your presentation for each team makes you someone with whom I would definitely like to work again.
