About Ciarra Elle
Ciarra trains dogs because she cares deeply about the relationship between people and their dogs. She believes obedience should create freedom, not stress.

Ciarra’s Training Approach
Ciarra’s training is relationship-based and customized to each dog and family. She focuses on engagement, intentional play, and real-life skills you can use every day. Owners are coached throughout the process so they leave training knowing exactly what to do and how to keep progress going at home.
Core belief: Play is training. When done intentionally, play builds engagement, motivation, and teaches your dog to choose you over distractions.
Trainer Statement
“For me, dog training is about so much more than obedience. It’s about connection, trust, and helping dogs and their people truly understand each other. I’ve spent over a decade working with dogs of all temperaments, including those who are fearful, reactive, or simply unsure of the world. I believe clear communication and thoughtful structure help dogs feel safe and confident.
My approach is relationship-based and customized to each dog and family. I focus on engagement, play, and real-life training that fits naturally into your day, while also guiding owners so they feel confident and supported every step of the way. You won’t find quick fixes here, just honest guidance, patience, and a commitment to building something lasting.
My goal is to help you create a calmer home, a happier dog, and a bond that makes life together more enjoyable every single day.”
