About us

Elisha's Positive Training has been providing gentle and positive solutions to pet owners since 2007. The process begins with helping the human of the relationship to understand how to better communicate with their animal. The ultimate goal of Elisha's Positive Training is to help people have better communication with their animals through humane, positive methods that are friendly, fun and effective for the animal and the person.

My professional dog training journey began in 2003 with my pet dog, Weezie. She was 4 at the time and knew far more than I did, being a dog and all. I learned the most effective forms of communication, body language, what pack theory IS and IS NOT, clicker training, nutrition information, and lots of behavior lingo that still trips me up sometimes. Ultimately, what I learned was that there is a gentle approach to all aspects of training, from puppy manners all the way up to aggression issues.

Since then, I have learned to apply the same principles to horses as well as goats, cats and cows. My next goal is to work more closely with chickens.

No animal is too young or too old to learn, just as no person is. None is too stubborn, either; you just have to present the right motivation for each. Science and behavioral study have shown that positive reinforcement is the most effective way of learning for all animals. The approach for each species - or even each individual of a species - may need to be a little different, that is true. Even within positive reinforcement based training, various approaches can be found.
