Do you live in a small market and don’t know how to effectively offer high end interior design services? Join me this week as I interview, Kelly Elvin, who is the founder of TipTopTails Dog Training in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She speaks to how she was able to convince this small market that they should not only think about training differently but pay more than they’ve probably ever paid in the past. Her business is the most expensive in the area and classes sell out in minutes. These techniques are so easily adaptable to your interior design business so sit back, cuddle up with your puppy and take a listen!  

Kelly has been coaching people and their dogs for over 23 years and before that, practiced law for 10 years in Chicago, Illinois. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed, a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and served for Al-Van Humane Society in South Haven, Michigan. She is a mentor trainer for CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and an instructor for the dog*biz Dog Walking Academy, coaching professional dog walkers, pet sitters and dog daycare wranglers on the skills to handle dogs safely and run a business successfully. 

Kelly believes that the primary goal of dog training is to have a dog you enjoy being around, so her training emphasizes practical skills for everyday life. She has a strong interest in early training and socialization to help puppies reach their full potential, and developed our innovative Puppy Day School program with her husband Matt. She enjoys cooking, and hanging out on their farm with her husband, their dogs Tonka, Wags and Jambo, and their cat, Colby Jack.
