From the moment I reached out with questions, she was incredibly responsive and helpful. Her expertise is unmatched, and she effortlessly turned what seemed like daunting puppy training tasks into manageable, enjoyable experiences. When she arrived at my apartment, it was clear that she had a special connection with my puppy; the way my puppy responded to her was amazing to see. Elisa's warm personality and knowledge make her not only an exceptional trainer but also a wonderful person to work with. Thanks to her, my puppy (and I!) are doing so much better.

I cannot say enough about Elisa and her amazing training. Elisa is so patient and willing to work with my pup and has really thought through the best practices related to his demeanor and his current skills. She continues to surprise me and help my pup through her training always coming up with great ideas to help aide and support good behavior. I'm always sharing how grateful I am with family and friends since she is truly one of a kind in her ability to work so individually on the dog’s needs.

Elisa has truly been a blessing with our dog, Sadie. Her explanations and patience taking you through how to approach situations with your dog and others are amazing. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in need of a little doggie help!

Elisa's commitment to her craft is impressive, and her love for dogs shines through in everything she does. From the first session, it was clear that she had a deep understanding of Tadashi's personality and needs, and she tailored her training methods accordingly. Elisa is patient, kind, and always positive. Her persistence paid off - Tadashi has made remarkable progress since working with her. Elisa is a pleasure to work with. She's always punctual, professional, and communicative, keeping me informed of Tadashi's progress every step of the way.

So patient and compassionate! I love the emphasis on positive reinforcement. She was also available when we freaked out after Wrigley tried to run away. Highly recommend her services!

Elisa was amazing! Being able to have access to all the materials that she sent me all in one place is such a great bonus and made it so easy to keep up with my dogs training. 100% recommend her for any dog training!"

Elisa is such an amazing and passionate trainer! We are almost finished her 6-week puppy class, and my puppy has improved tremendously with her jumping, barking, leash walking, etc. Not to mention, it’s her absolute favorite time of the week! Elisa goes above and beyond and is willing to help with any additional issues your pup needs to work on, even if it’s not covered in the course! She has sent several helpful videos and given great advice on additional topics. We are SO happy we are taking Elisa’s class and highly recommend!

Elisa did an amazing job training my son's dog. I honestly thought he was never going to cooperate but. holy cow! He's a different dog! I love Elisa's positive training method; it makes training like a game for him. Highly recommend!

Squirrel! Dog Training has been an absolute game changer, it’s the best dog training in Philadelphia. My dog, Tina Turner’s reactiveness has improved after just one training session!

We went to doggystyle and there were two dogs and the groomer was like "wait that's tina turner and she's not barking or lunging at all!?!" And was so excited she ran over and got her a treat

Turner also has gotten less reactive to humans too, a person she always barked at - last week she sniffed her hand!

I can't thank this local Philly dog training company enough for helping us. Our walks around the museum district have gotten so much happier now that I "see" what she sees.
