Alaska Dog Boarding & Training Inc

With tears in my eyes as I write this, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express my gratitude enough for Brigitte. About a month ago, I came across a dog from a previous litter of mine at Animal Control. Without hesitation, I brought him home. We quickly found out that he wasn’t friendly towards other dogs when he attacked my other dog. A person was caught in the crossfire, and both human and dog had to receive emergency medical treatment. Concerned that this dog was a lost cause and would never work through his dog-aggression, I began looking for other homes and considering behavioral euthanasia. I received nearly 100 comments and messages stating that he needed to be put down. With nowhere else to go, I reached out to Brigitte. Immediately, she called me and spoke with me for over an hour, walking me through steps on helping this boy. She was incredibly knowledgeable and confident that as long as she was able to train me, we could train him. Today, we went for our first walk through Lowes. We encountered four dogs total (3 with muzzle on, 1 outside without muzzle). Not once did my boy bark, growl, or exhibit any signs of aggression. I was quickly able to get his attention back on me and even got him to lay down with another dog only 10 feet away. While this is going to be a lot of work, requiring long term consistency, I could never be more thankful for all of Brigitte’s help and guidance. She saved this boy’s life and helped set us on the right path.

Bridget and her team have been a wonderful addition to our and our pups lives. We had a difficult time with training our boy with high separation and crate anxiety. Due to my remote work scheduling, he was required to spend time kenneled and it was very difficult for us all. After a few desperate attempts, we came into contact with Bridget. She was more than happy to help us and picked up the mantle to give our boy the attention and care he truly deserved. I bring him to her regularly for stay and train while I am away from home at work and the results are phenomenal. we still have a long road ahead to repair some of the damage from past boarding experiences but he is eager to work and loves to be a part of the group at Alaska board and train. I wouldn’t send my boy anywhere else after everything we’ve experienced. I love my pets as family, and Bridget and her team treat my boy as family.

Bubba was rehomed to me. I knew he had great potential but we both needed guidance. The Lytle's and their trainers are amazing! Bubba and I are able to do all the things that create a better bond. I am pleased to be able to trust that my dog will listen and follow my lead in all situations. It is the training and passion for dogs that the Lytle's bring to the sessions! They are professional, encouraging and knowledgeable.
