I start by listening to the owner’s needs, put a plan in place and make it fun. Fueled by passion and knowledge sharing, the relationship is then built between owner, dog and myself. That constant, warm and friendly interaction helps dogs train and progress consistently over time.
Sharing a love of dogs and interacting with their people companions has led me. Self-discipline realized from being a former fitness competitor and enjoying people interaction has gone into the development of my strong and proven training methods. Follow up, attention to detail and thorough communication help establish that healthy dog training experience.

Elisa Levenbaum came to our rescue
I knew I wanted to get my Labrador puppy into some type of training class, but I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Elisa Levenbaum came to our rescue and I am so glad she did!
It is amazing how the few weeks of training by Elisa Levenbaum have helped Cooper. She is much more well behaved and a great listener. Elisa worked with my Labrador and I am was extremely impressed that within 15 minutes she had Cooper’s full attention and cooperation – all with positive reinforcement.
I love watching my dog’s excitement as she thinks about what she is doing and finally figures out what behavior we are looking for. I think my favorite part of taking classes with Elisa is the fact she is always available to help. The lessons were always personalized to fit the needs of my dog.
Elisa has always been willing to give advice through email or phone, I really feel that she goes above and beyond and has each dog’s best interest at heart.
We will always be grateful for the love and attention Elisa has taught us and our loving companion. We highly recommend Elisa and will bring all of our future furry animals to her for training.

I would recommend Elisa to any doggy parent
We have three very active pit bulls and we quickly found that we needed help with organization and training. The first thing we realized is how truly passionate Elisa is. You can really tell she loves what she does. The dogs took to her immediately and within minutes we were learning how to handle basic training skills. All we had to do was follow Elisa’s instruction, do our daily practice, and stay consistent. Every week the dog’s behavior improved immensely! No longer did I have to question my methods, because Elisa had the answers we desperately needed. Not to mention the pups absolutely adore her. They are thrilled every time she comes over for a session.

Great Trainer!
We had our border collie trained by Elisa and couldn't be more pleased! She is the envy of all our friends with dogs. Elisa is firm but fun and truly enjoys dogs and gets great results! I would and have recommended her to anyone looking for a trainer
David Armstrong
Outstanding!
With great pleasure I highly recommend Elisa as a trainer of your beloved pet. I love my Weimaraner but as a puppy his energy and unbridled enthusiasm was very difficult for me to handle. I was absolutely floored by Elisa's ability to immediately take control of Toby from the first moment she stepped into our home. But her biggest challenge was not Toby, it was his day to day trainer, me. Elisa has very special qualities that make her the best. She not only loves dogs, she loves people and this is evident in the effective manner in which she teaches us how to reinforce her training techniques. Elisa cares about her clients. It is very evident that her number one priority is to make sure that we are 100% satisfied. This is a labor of love for her, not just a way to make a living.
