Who is elijah ?

My story starts like many dog trainers, with a problem dog. I was young and hopeful with one puppy when I decided to add another to the mix. I was in way over my head and found myself with a nervous, aggressive, reactive, lunging dog who would destroy the house and anything in it. Yes! He had almost every problem a dog could have. 

He was attacked once during his imprinting stage as a puppy, then once again when he was two. This exacerbated all his issues and lead to many months, and even years of sleepless nights, anxiety, depression and pushed me to the point where I considered giving him away. It was a journey of trial and error consisting of relentless research, watching seminars, reading books, YouTubing, asking trainers for advice until I finally started developing systems and protocols that actually worked. I was amazed after all the years of failure, that I was on to something. 

As I continued to develop my knowledge and skills, I found myself being able to solve problems others were having with their dogs. The methods and techniques I had learned were proving to work for other people as well. After a few Successful cases, I began receiving inquiries and interest from strangers which ultimately lead me to where I am today. 

My goal for Apex dog training is for everyone to be able to live a peaceful, loving, and fun-filled life with their dogs reaching their full potential. 

A well-trained dog is a happy dog, and a person with a well-trained dog is a happy person.
