Enlighten Dogs

Chris and Elicia are both very responsive business owners, both in terms of booking appointments and coordinating details. I have a very busy schedule and I really appreciate a business that takes the time to coordinate with me and doesn’t leave me second guessing.
Chis came to our home to evaluate my two large dogs for the pack run program. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and has an excellent understanding of dog behavior and body language. My dogs, who can be nervous around strangers, quickly accepted Chris. Chris also showed us how to play some nose games to get my dogs thinking and engaged, and gave me tips on how to keep them happy even though I have a long work day.
I’m very excited for my kiddos to begin their twice weekly pack runs with Chris.

I adopted my year and a half shepherd mix from the Redlands Animal Shelter 4 weeks ago, and they forwarded me information on Enlighten Dogs.
My dog didn’t have many social skills around other dogs and was in much need of in-​home training. So far I started with 1 in-​home training… great training tips from Elicia within the home. Then Elicia recommended pack runs for my dog. I was so hesitant at first because I saw how my dog reacts around other dogs, but Chris is our local dog whisperer! My dog came back happy as can be, walking alongside their huge german shepherd without a care in the world. It’s great because they own a farm and have plenty of land for the dogs to run. As an added bonus, they have farm animals, which I think is great for my shepherd to be exposed to. Now, I just finished taking day 1 of their 6 week group obedience classes at the park. It’s definitely great bonding time with my dog and training for me so I can equip myself with how to keep my dog balanced. Overall, I highly recommend their business.

I was referred here from a neighbor of mine after my husband and I found a young German Shepherd, she seemed to be neglected and had not been socialized with people or animals. I phoned and spoke to Elicia and after talking with her we decided that our dog would do better if she were socialized before starting a group class so, Chris (her fiancée) started coming to my home and bringing his AMAZING dogs with him. With Chris’ experience of dog behavior it didn’t take long before our new dog was playing with the other dogs and feeling much more relaxed around people.
Chris is now taking her on pack runs and introducing her to lots of other dogs! I think it is the highlight of her week! We just started a group class and met Elicia, she is just as amazing and both have a special knowledge of how dogs think and train with positive reinforcement. The dogs that they own are the most well behaved happy dogs I have ever seen and just great to be around! I have already seen a huge improvement with our dog and she really loves Chris.
We are very happy with Enlighten Dogs!
