I've been working with Ebonie for ~9 months. My dog is obsessed with Ebonie! She initially came recommended to me by a celebrity trainer. He said Ebonie is the only other trainer he felt confident recommending. He was right - she is FANTASTIC! Initially, I went to her for basic puppy obedience for my then 4 month old Lab Mix puppy, Charlie. He was quite a handful and I had been working with a different trainer (from Petco) so I was able to quickly see the elevated level of experience that Ebonie has. She's like a dog whisperer. A live session with Ebonie includes working on whatever you've asked of her, but the real work is your own homework. I had a follow-up live session and she was able to observe me and provide constructive feedback so that I knew how to communicate more clearly with my dog. My puppy's leash manners are excellent because of the foundation that Ebonie helped me to build. I underwent a big surgery and sent my dog to Ebonie for Board & Train. She worked on firming up the "Savage 6" commands, and then some. What I appreciated most was the daily updates which included photos and videos. I knew my Charlie was in great hands with Ebonie and her pack. I've also attended a group session with Ebonie where there were various dogs of different ages, obedience, and behavioral levels; she was able to balance us all, safely. Also, whenever I've gone on vacation I've left my dog to Board with Ebonie (she provides pick-up and drop-off). Knowing that Ebonie is 1 person, I so appreciate the attention she gives her clients. If something pops up, I can always text Ebonie for advice (during the adolescent stage my dog developed fear based barking, very randomly, and Ebonie told me via text how to handle it). I bought an e-collar and Ebonie came over to help me get it set up properly, and she taught me how to use it to work on more reliable recall. It's important to know that a professional trainer can help set foundations, correct behaviors, and more, but the application of what is taught takes ongoing work and that's what each owner is responsible for. My dog Charlie is now a perfect obedient angel with a super solid foundation and advanced skills as well. We're always learning and growing. Ebonie gives you the tools to succeed in building a stronger relationship with your dog. I highly recommend Ebonie and My Canine's Keeper! read more
