Lesa made my life as a dog owner so much more enjoyable, and she taught me in a way that I could think like a dog! 😊

Lesa is a great dog training instructor. She is a no nonsense teacher but she is great at what she does and you can really see the love she has for the dogs. I have been going to her for 1 1/2 years and she has help me to push farther with my dog more than I ever thought I would go.
Leslie O'Neill
I’ve taken two dogs through Lesa’s classes. She has a no nonsense approach to training. If you put the work in you’ll get a well trained dog I have also boarded with her and the dogs are well cared for and seem to love to stay with her.
Sharon Willis
Lesa is absolutely amazing with her dog/people training. She really knows her stuff. If you and your dog have a problem she'll help you solve it. Give her a call today, you won't regret it.

Lesa was recommended to me by friends who had trained and boarded their Collies with Elizares for ten-plus years. Lesa has an excellent background in SAR training and large breed working dogs. The kennel is very clean, though small - which limits the number of dogs boarded. Holiday reservations need to be made months in advance (which was about the only thing I was unhappy with). And obedience classes in the large arena fill up quickly. Services I've used for my dog: boarding, group classes, and private lessons. With boarding there were no extra fees for a special diet. Also I had my Bloodhound's nails trimmed there regularly.
Jamie Brazil
She is a very good dog trainer. I highly recommend. We have a very large shepherd that had some aggression issues and within one class we were given the tools to completely correct his behavior.
Ashley Lucas
We are taking our second class here and Lesa does a great job. If you need help training your dog, this is the place to go.
