I have expertise in both preventing and overcoming - trauma, fear, aggression, anxiety, and stress related issues of all kinds - including those that humans may have developed relative to their canine companion’s.

I work in concert, co-creating new experiences and understandings that promote clear communication, empathy, confidence, calm, and trust in our relationships.

I utilize methods that are both fear free and force free

People and dogs alike desire to feel safe, understood, and fulfilled in the relationships and lives they share.  Smile & Wag wants to help you find your way there.

Our passion is helping human and canine family members thrive together. We specialize in reducing frustration and increasing fun. Let us help pave the way for more smiles and wags through kind, compassionate training and education for all learners.

Whether it’s for basic manners or more complex behavioral issues, our trainers are focused on not only training your pet, but teaching you how to effectively communicate with them. This method of training is full of fun techniques that will give you and your pet a happier life together.

Take your training to the next level and continue your dog's socialization with group walks and classes geared towards helping your dog have fun and be successful!

Our mission is to help increase and/or strengthen the bond between the dog and it's human by giving you the tools to communicate effectively with your dog and help them understand the rules of living as a canine in a human world. Respectively, we strive to teach the Human the finer points of canine communication. 

Not Every Veterinary Visit Requires A Doctor

(THAT’S RIGHT,  WE SAID IT.)

We work with your primary care veterinarian on a referral basis in order to provide "in-between" veterinary medical assistance.

Our mobile services save you time, money and stress without ever needing to leave your home. And with over 50 years of combined experience in the veterinary field, you can relax knowing that your pet is in experienced hands.

The unofficial motto of White Whiskers is that we meet you where you are. As a mobile senior pet veterinary service, we mean that literally and figuratively. Every pet and owner’s situation is unique. Whether you and your senior pet need help with the aging process, need help in the difficult process of parting ways or are somewhere in between, we can help. Living with an aging pet isn’t easy, but you’re not alone.

Dr. E'Lise Christensen Bell (Dr. C) is a board-certified veterinary behaviorist for the wild ones and the people who love them.
