Smith K9 Dog Training

Smith K9 offers positive reinforcement manners and behavior training. Elesa has been fostering and training rescue dogs since 2011 for a local shelter. She believes it is important to give back to her community and this is her way of accomplishing that. It is very rewarding to see a shelter dog go to it’s forever home. Elesa was mentored and trained by a very talented Certified Professional Dog Tr

ainer and Canine Behavior Consultant Canine. She then became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-KA, CGC evaluator and a Certified Trick Dog Instructor. SmithK9 uses a positive based training that does not use harsh or punishing training methods. Elesa's goal is to strengthen the bond between owner and companion, will coach the owner to become a better handler and coach the owner on how to train their dog. Most of all, SmithK9 wants the owner and their dog to have fun together and continue to grow together as a team. I live on a small farm with a supportive husband, five dogs, a few cats, a horse and the next foster that needs to be trained.
