Meet our Behaviorist:
Deb Ellison owns and operates Copasetic Solutions (www.copaseticsolutions.com).  As a contract trainer for Front Range K9 Academy, she
uses her life experiences with people and dogs to help improve the relationship between our clients and their canine companions.

Highlights:

  • 1988-1992 USAF Enlisted, active with sports and various volunteer work.  
  • 2001 Ohio State Graduation, BA
    Acquired first canine family member through the Columbus Husky Rescue.  Lexi was said to be two but was in fact quite older.  She
    was hand shy and skittish when Deb got her.  Deb provided a secure environment, and Lexi was able to grow out of her old
    behaviors and enjoy her new home.  
  • 2005 Deb got her second Alaskan husky, Natasha Grace Hoponanov.  
  • 2005-2006 Deb Volunteered with Marine Corps sanctioned youth drug deterrent program, creatively called Young Marines.  As a drill
    instructor, she taught boot camp victims marching drill, Young Marine and Marine Corps history, and provided auxiliary training.  She
    then transitioned to become assistant platoon commander, and training coordinator.  As the training coordinator she taught higher
    ranking young marines how to train lower ranking young marines for promotion testing.  
    Deb got her third husky, Angel.   
  • 2007-Present: Deb had many eye-opening events that led her inexorably to learning more about dog training.  When Angel took a
    stroll on Hwy 36 just outside Estes Park she had a moment of satori.  Watching Angel as she dodged in and out of traffic was a wake-
    up call that her dogs need professional training.  Moreover, SHE needed training, probably a lot more than the dogs did.  Once
    started, she found the challenge and interaction so rewarding that she began the dog training apprentice process.

    In working closely with Jennifer, Deb gets the pleasure of reassuring new clients that no matter how bad it has been, she can help
    work with them to integrate their canine family member into a better relationship for everyone.  

  • March 2008 - May 2008  Deb completed 120 hours of dog training apprenticeship through Front Range K9 Academy.
