Canine Training Services

Elliot has been awesome with our dog, Bosa. From the first session, you could tell he really knows what he’s doing. He took the time to get to know Bosa and figure out what would actually work for him instead of just running through some basic program. We’ve seen a huge difference in a short amount of time, and it’s made everyday life so much easier. Bosa is happier, more focused, and you can tell he enjoys the work. We’re definitely sticking with Elliot and would recommend him to anyone who wants real results.

My sister and I have been taking our GSD Mix, Cypress, for the last 2 years. Prior to introducing him to Elliott, Cypress was becoming a bit more territorial and aggressive, even towards people whom he's known his entire life, including my parents. This was making it difficult for us to invite others over and take him out on walks. Since then, he's been much more cordial with humans and other dogs. It's been great having Elliott take Cypress out to socialize with other dogs at his business, dog parks, and even retirement homes in the Tacoma area to socialize with people. It's definitely more than just a business to Elliott, as he has built and maintained meaningful relationship not just with our dogs, but with many other clients.

It was hard for me finding a service dog trainer. I got denied by bunch off service dog organizations because I wasn't in wheel chair or blind. Elliot was only person that could train my dog to be mobility and balance dog. He's awesome trainer. He can train your dog from basic training, aggressive problems, service dog training for different disabilities, K9 work. He's an all around trainer. He's nice and straightforward. He will train my next service dog. He is worth the money.

We have been working will Elliot since October of 2025. He has been an expert and professional in regards to helping my wife and I train our high drive German shepherd. His service is more affordable than most in the Tacoma area without compromising quality. I could not recommend his services more.

I would highly recommend Elliott to anybody looking for dog training, especially over some of the larger companies around the area. He was more knowledgeable, seemed to care more about our dogs, had more flexible times, and offered much more reasonable and flexible payment structures (weekly instead of one large amount up-front). Elliott is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful dog trainer. We originally came to him in November with a reactive 8-month old dog who we could no longer take to dog parks and would vocally react to any dog we came across on a walk. Now, we take that same dog to dog parks every week, he got accepted to dog daycare, and he NEVER reacts to other dogs while walking. Not only did we fix the behavior issues we originally contacted Elliott about, but our dogs are no
