Meet Your Trainer

Our head trainer Elysia grew up with animals her whole life. She always had a pack of 3-5 dogs. Not only does she have extensive experience with canines but also reptiles, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, pigs, and ducks. Elysia studied psychology and sociology in college. She saw how dog training compared with her studies. Elysia has a significant understanding and insightful knowledge of canine psychology. She has been training dogs for 6 years, 4 of those years being professional experience with pet and working dogs. Before starting All K9 Solutions, Elysia sought out for hands on experience, networked all over the US, and worked for other reputable balanced training companies. 

Elysia now works along side multiple departments, is trialing this year in PSA, and competes in AKC sports. She is an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience as well. One of her goals this year with her dog Minka is to certify for explosive odor. Minka is Elysia's demo dog. She assists with using her neutrality and impulse control for helping to train other dogs in controlled environments. Minka is a dog others didn't believe in for sports, but Elysia was determined. Elysia believes "the day you think you know everything, is the day you should retire". With dog training being her passion, not just a job, there are many areas to always advance in knowledge.
