Elias B. Dog Trainer Bio

With over 10 years of experience in animal care and behavior, I bring a science-based, compassionate approach to dog training. My background as a professional zookeeper has given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of speciesincluding large carnivores, exotic mammals, and birds of preyrefining my skills in operant conditioning, behavior modification, and positive reinforcement. I’ve trained everything from tigers to parrots, and I apply the same principles of trust, clarity, and consistency to my work with dogs. Whether you’re dealing with basic obedience, behavioral challenges, or just looking to build a stronger bond with your dog, I tailor each training plan to fit the needs of both the dog and their human. I have a special interest in helping rescue and adopted dogs adjust to their new environments and thrive. My passion for animal welfare and conservation fuels my commitment to ethical training and lifelong learning. I believe that great training starts with understandingof behavior, communication, and trust. When I’m not training, I stay involved in wildlife conservation projects and educational outreach.
