I struggled with my dog's impulse control…losing stopped contacts and start line stays. My timing was off… and my dog was over threshold. We set big goals and achieved big results! Podiums at US Open, Cynosport, winning ISC classes at AKC Nationals and winning our spot onto multiple European Open Teams since! I am now running and winning competitively and feeling like a team with Brodie!

Elicia is 100% ALL IN. Whether it’s your mental game, handling strategy, or problem-solving a training challenge, she zeroes in on exactly what’s holding you back and gives you the tools to move forward. Her feedback is laser-focused, and the progress is undeniable.

Before working with Elicia, I thought my problem was handling. But what was really holding me back was pressure. I’d trained endlessly, yet when I stepped to the line, my body tensed, my mind froze, and my connection with my dog vanished. Through Elicia’s coaching, I learned how to regulate my emotions, focus my energy, and lead with calm, confident presence — no matter what the stakes are. She helped me understand my performance patterns and gave me tools to reset quickly, recover after mistakes, and trust myself again. Within months, Believe and I were back on the podium at the AWC and EO Team Tryouts, and we made the EO Team USA that same year. When Believe was injured later, the mindset and recovery tools I learned from Elicia carried us through. Step by step, we came back stronger—earning a spot on Team USA for the WAO in the Netherlands, and in the years since, multiple EO Team selections. Elicia’s coaching didn’t just change how I compete—it changed how I lead, how I recover, and how I connect with my dogs.

The work we did on limiting beliefs has been profound for me. I’d been struggling with the idea that I don’t run as fast as I used to, but I’ve realized that doesn’t have to limit my team. I can adapt my handling, lean into our strengths, and still be the team I know we can be. This mindset shift alone has been worth the program.

Before working with Elicia, I felt like a terrible trainer with my over-the-top, high-drive Border Collie. We were constantly de-queuing, knocking bars and I was full of self-doubt. Through Elicia’s Peak Performance coaching, I’ve gained clear handling strategies, real confidence, and a much deeper partnership with my dog. We’ve gone from chaos in the ring to earning top agility and Top Gamblers dog at the Border Collie nationals. Elicia’s blend of positive, confidence-building coaching, practical homework, and a supportive community has been absolutely worth the investment.

Elicia’s mental resilience is unmatched. While she’s an incredible handling coach, what sets her apart is how she helps you hold onto the wins, build strength from challenges, and bounce back stronger after setbacks. That mindset work changes everythingon and off the course –

I wasn’t able to connect with or cue my dog on time. Now, I have a better mindset, connect more consistently, and provide timely cues. The 3-phase program helped me build habits in course analysis, routines, and video review.

This program helped me shift from doubting myself and my dog to actually trusting our skills. I’ve always been proactive and hardworking, but I realized I was still holding myself back with old patterns and self-doubt. The mindset work has helped me see where I’m selling myself short and rewrite those stories so I can be the handler my dog needs. I’m already seeing glimpses of that more confident version of me, and it’s making a huge difference in how we run together.

I struggled with decisions on course. Step-by-step coaching gave me confidence and clarity. The result: my dog gained speed, we clicked as a team, and our connection is exponentially better.

This program has helped me honestly examine my physical limitations without giving up on myself as a handler. I’d started to wonder if my role should only be as a trainer while someone else ran my brilliant young dog. The mindset work is showing me I can still move forward, adapt, and keep my place on this team. It’s helped me reconnect with the joy of working my dog.

Elicia was ahead of her time when she taught me—foundations, criteria, and the relationship with my dog. Years later, I still use what I learned from her every single day. She gave me the skills and mindset to train with purpose and run with confidence.

I struggled with course memorization and connection. Visualization and air handling were game changers. My confidence is stronger, I trust my dog more, and I now look forward to trials. The community made it fun while pushing us to improve.

Before working with Elicia, my runs were inconsistent and my connection with my dog often fell apart under pressure. Now, we’re more consistent at trials, I stay mentally present, and I know exactly when and where to give my cues. My dog is less frustrated, I’m more confident, and we’re enjoying the sport together more than ever. Her program breaks everything into clear, actionable steps so you never feel overwhelmed—just steadily improving.

This program has helped me completely reframe how I look at competition and my dogs. I used to get stuck comparing my non–Border Collie to faster dogs and feeling like we were automatically at a disadvantage. I also felt turned off by the ‘ugly’ side of competitiveness I’d seen around me. Through the mindset work, I’m learning that competition can be positive, that my job is to protect my and my dogs’ energy, and to focus on our growth instead of everyone else's.

I am more successful at trials now because your program is complete — from conditioning and warm-ups to course walks, body position, and video analysis. You go above and beyond other coaches.

I lacked confidence in course walks and copied others. Elicia taught me to read for my dog, visualize, and trust my plan. She pushed me to set higher goals — we made it to AKC Nationals and did very well. Now it feels like a true team sport!

Never say never—there is always a way through.’ That’s what Elicia says, and she lives it. She pushes you to the edge of your comfort zone in the best way possible, showing you what’s truly possible for you and your dog. My agility and my life are better for it.
