Poodles to Pit Bulls Dog Training

Ettel is such an amazing person and an even more amazing trainer. I am so grateful that I met her as she helped me and my dog greatly. I adopted my dog from the shelter and she was super anxious and scared of everything. Ettel helped me step by step in training my dog so that she can grow to have the confidence to be a normal dog. The sessions were highly informative and educational. The homework that Ettel assigns to train your dog were also pivotal in my dog's behavioral improvement. I highly recommend Ettel as a dog trainer and she is more than deserving of great reviews and stars she has.

Ettel is honestly the best trainer we've ever had. Our dog struggles a lot with anxiety and reactivity and we have seen a major improvement. It was really refreshing to be met with an understanding and empathetic approach; it has also improved our relationship with our dog too, which has been the best part! Kayla is also awesome, she was with Ettel for the training sessions and did some walk/trains as well. We couldn't recommend them enough! Best choice we made!

I am so grateful to have met Kayla. I have a reactive pup with fear based anxiety and aggression so it’s hard to find appropriate care for him. Kayla is amazing with Rocco! He loves her and I feel at ease when he’s with her. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Ettel who helped me get a better understanding of Rocco’s behavior and get it under control. I would definitely recommend their services 🐶

I’m a veterinarian practicing in NYC since 2010. I met Ettel in 2011 upon searching for a certified trainer to work with my behavior cases. The first few cases I sent her way showed marked behavioral improvement and I had happy clients, so she became my “go-to” referral. As a trainer, she is knowledgeable, flexible, intuitive, and exceeds expectations. It’s easy to work in tandem with her on difficult cases that need medications. As a human, she is exceptional and caring. Of the hundreds of clients I’ve referred to her, not one has been unhappy working with her. I recommend Ettel all day, every day.

Ettel is amazing. My dog, Milo, is very reactive to sound and I have been training with him for several years now. He is not food oriented so training is taking a long time. After seeing several dog trainers, Ettel is the only one who helped me make Milo actually eat the treats when we train, which makes training so much easier and efficient. She also pointed out the fact that physical pain might explain why he is so reactive to sound. We did some tests with his vet and confirm that he is in fact in physical pain. We are still working on it and Milo is already doing better. Ettel has done such a thorough assessment of Milo when we first met. She was so supportive and understanding as I was psychologically exhausted by the training. She truly cares and even offers discounted training for pe
