      Ellis has worked in the veterinary industry for over 10 years. They say the best part of their days have always been giving training advice and helping to ensure patients’ visits are as stress-free as possible. Ellis fell in love with dog training at the age of 12 when they took a childhood dog to group training classes. Thanks to training, they watched her transform from a fearful dog to a happy confident member of the family. Since then, they started learning everything they could about training and animal behavior. They are passionate in the belief that training should aways be fun for the person and the dog!<\/p>\n
