We brought our 5 month old great dane pups, Nyssa & Tegan, to Elevate to work through basic puppy things. Elevate has turned them around. The girls are well behaved on lead. They no longer rush the door to go on their respective walks. And are generally calmer. We're still working on things, but Elevate is there to help. Tamison and crew are wonderful with the dogs and the girls are always happy to see the Elevate staff on school days.

Brought my puppy here, wonderful atmosphere. (Of course, there's dogs barking and such;) Rented a bed, did just hunky dory. Picked dog up and the workers handled all the dogs with such precision and care. Much better profession other than the one that we previously went to. (The owner was nice, just the workers.)

Our dog was terrified of other dogs, but after less than 2 weeks at Elevate his confidence has grown exponentially. Tamison is fantastic!
