Ellie’s lifelong background with animals began as an equestrian at the age of five, giving her the confidence and skill to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments with calm, capable leadership.

Ellie is proudly certified through the Animal Behavior Institute in:

Whether your dog joins for play, enrichment, overnight stays while you're away or training, you can trust that they’ll receive thoughtful, knowledgeable, and compassionate care in a safe, nurturing environment.
