Alaska Dog Works

The team at Alaska Dog Works Training is fantastic! Michele and Nicole have both been exceptional at training our dog and, importantly, helping us understand how to respond with the dog at home. Our dog, Jackie, is a very social malamute/husky mix. They are knowledgeable m, clearly love dogs, and techniques they’ve shown us work. We have also had great success boarding her with them. I highly recommend their services!

I have tried out different trainers for my reactive pup and have seen varying degree of effectiveness, but this time the effects are long lasting and have addressed many of the issues we have had for a long time. I am glad to have found Michelle and Nichole who has helped me become more confident as a dog owner and have helped quelled 50-60% of my anxiety with taking my dog on a walk or into public spaces for fear of his reactivity towards other dogs and sometimes humans. He still has a ways to go, since he is 9 years old and learning just takes more time at this age, and needs consistency with training but I have seen improvements in how he handles himself in varying environments and am grateful for the tools Michelle and Nichole have given me to address these issues as they appear. They are always a text away if there are situations that I struggled to handle by myself and are always ready to give helpful recommendations to address the issue(s). They are stern with my stubborn grouchy old man of a pup, but also provide him with so much love and care. They have also been very accommodating to my work schedule with training and Michelle will show up in almost any weather (she's a trooper!).
