This is Ryder! My family rescued my sweet girl a few years ago from an abusive home. Thankfully one of my dearest friends is a dog trainer with two service dogs of her own. (Shout out to my four legged nieces Karma and Calliope❤️ the best trained dogs I've ever met) We have never been able to get Ryder in a kennel. Her old owner used to leave her in her kennel for hours as punishment. Anytime we tried to get her into one she would tremble and cry and it was a big source of anxiety for her. Now she goes in happily and it's becoming a safe space for her in no time at all. We are working on transitioning her indoors full time and training her so we can take her everywhere with us and she will be in her best behavior. If you have a dog you are looking to train and want some guidance and direction, Tricia is amazing and I can't sing her praises enough!

Hanna and Tricia are literally the most amazing trainers for dogs and people!
I reached out to Hanna back in December, I was in need of help with my now 2 year old Aussie and now 11 month old Heeler. My Aussie has anxiety, and separation anxiety from me along with other things. Our heeler needed help with manners and basic commands.
My Aussie, is literally my first born baby. (I love my heeler just as much) my Aussie Bentley, has improved SO much with just the short amount of time Hanna and Tricia have helped. I can now take Bentley on car rides and he’s not whining or barking at strangers when we’re in the car.
Bentley has also improved so much with walking on the leash as well. Trica picks up and drops off Bentley once a week and works on his leash training. I can now walk him so calmly to the mail box. He’s such a different dog!
Ellie my heeler, is doing really well in training as well. Through this process we have noticed that she is attached to Bentley. She does not like to be separated from him. Because of Trica I now have the tools to help with that. We also have learned that Ellie is very shy when it comes to her harness and once again because of Trica and Hanna I have tools to work with her on it. The best part is when I’m feeling frustrated about it I just message them and then they give me pointers and tips.
If you are looking for dog trainer that wants the best for you and your fur baby, I highly recommend Elite K9!

My dog and I have been working with Tricia for about 2 years now and we have both grown significantly since the beginning and none of it would be possible without the dedication, communication, patience, care, and kindness of Tricia. She shows up and out without ever missing a beat. I always feel understood and supported. This experience has been one of the most fulfilling journeys I have the privilege of experiencing. Not only has Tricia built my dogs confidence but she has also given me the tools to build my own. I never knew this type of bond with my dog would be possible and it is safe to say that this is one of the best investments for you and your dog.
