DOG GENIUS.

Elisabeth’s approach to dog training is based on a personal blend of highly sensitive perception, rigorous behavioral science, and learning theory – all seen through a lens of her own musical and artistic background. Her ability to bring a workable and practical application to any specific human-dog relationship is unmatched – and her reputation is based on more than a decade of tangible results. From helping Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson's dog deal with terminal cancer, blindness, and depression through musical activity, painting, and a host of other occupations, to being the exclusive go-to trainer of artists like Julian Schnabel and Walton Ford and corporate leaders like Jennie and Dangene Enterprise of CORE Club: Elisabeth is one of the world’s most trusted dog trainers.
Elisabeth knows how important dogs are to even the most powerful and successful humans. She will advocate for the dog’s utmost quality of life while respecting the very personal circumstances of each and every client – as well as their expectations and needs. Elisabeth will uncover your dog’s talents in such a way that their needs are fulfilled by seamlessly integrating into your lifestyle. Her efforts will help you appreciate how the culture you are involved in influences your dog’s preferences – ensuring a bond by allowing them to participate in your preferred activities and at the same time providing them with outlets to express their enthusiasm and keep them mentally engaged. 



Combining art, psychology, and emotional intelligence, every session with Elisabeth becomes a life-enriching event in which clients form deeper bonds with much happier dogs.
Elisabeth’s clients include Lolabelle, the late beloved piano-playing and finger-painting canine companion to Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed – and the star of the 2015 documentary Heart of a Dog.

You can shape the likes and dislikes of a dog through the lens of the lifestyle in which they’ve come to live with you. In fact, you might learn that your dog is a natural painter!
