In support of the missions of non-profit shelters and humane societies, Elise offers discounted rates for workshops and seminars. For hour by hour consulting, the rate for shelters is $60.
I emailed Elise looking for help with our recently adopted hurricanes. Not long after we got her, she was diagnosed as epileptic, and her behavior was so erratic that the neurology staff at Tufts nicknamed her "Wild Dog". Elise came to our home and gave us some much-needed help for focusing Daisy's attention for training, and tips for eliminating her excess vocalizations. Elise is also helping us to improve her socialization and reduce her anxieties.....Daisy has been through a lot in her young life! Elise has great ideas and endless patience with dogs and owners alike. She never makes us feel 'stupid' like some dog trainers can do, and always answers our endless questions with a smile. Thank you!
