Fit Dog Training

Working with Elisa has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our Sheltie pup, Daphne. Even though I’ve had dogs most of my life, I was amazed at how much I learned — not just about basic obedience, but about how to truly relate to my dog and communicate in a way she understands.\n\nElisa doesn’t just “train dogs” — she teaches humans how to be better partners. So much of the process is about timing, consistency, body language, and mindset. Once I understood that, everything started to click.\n\nDaphne has transformed from a kooky little ball of puppy energy into a focused, happy, responsive dog. She’s still very much herself (which we love!), but now she’s confident and trainable — and we feel equipped to keep building on what we’ve learned. Elisa gave us both the foundation and the tools to continue progressing long after the sessions ended.\n\nIf you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate. Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or have had dogs for years, you’ll walk away with skills and insight that truly change the relationship you have with your dog.\n\nWe’re so grateful — thank you, Elisa!

Fit Dog Training—and its owner, Elisa—were fantastic to work with. She taught us how to better train our dogs, and we saw improvement immediately after her first visit. Even though the training focused on our behavior, her techniques were clear, effective, and easy to apply. Elisa also explained the “why” behind each method, which made everything click. Highly recommended.

My husband and I are first time dog parents to a 1 year old golden and I cannot say enough good things about training with Elisa! She was always very responsive with questions between sessions and sends great videos/training details after each visit. We saw real improvements after each training and the work was easy to fit into our daily routines. I love that she focuses on skills most average dog owners will actually use like place, recall and leash walking. Highly recommend working with her for any training needs!

Elisa is the best! We recently got a lab puppy and were having a hard time with his behavior. Elisa met with us and immediately made life easier with him. She trained us and our puppy on a number of commands that have made a huge difference in our day-to-day lives. She sent us videos to reference, and was so helpful on the phone and via text when we needed extra help. Elisa is great to work with and so knowledgeable. I’m so glad we called her—just wish we had done it sooner!

Elisa is awesome! She was always punctual and very kind. She helped me train my 1 year old coltriever. Within 1 session my dog was already like a new dog and her behavior changed a ton. After 5 sessions my puppy is so well behaved and I could not be happier with the results. Definitely recommend Elisa
