Alicia did a wonderful job working with our pup, Tilly. We did the three week board and train and we were updated daily on her progress with texts and videos. She took Tilly to the park and to stores to work on her training. Alicia has also worked with us so we can work with Tilly better. We missed our girl when she was gone but we knew she was in good hands. Tilly is so happy when she sees Alicia and that makes me feel at ease knowing she was being taken care of and loved on. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for training for their pup!

I got my dog from the humane society and I didn’t realize it at the time (he was ~10 months old when I adopted him) but he had clearly been abused in some way and it took awhile for him to open up fully and feel safe. He is very sweet and loves people, but you can tell he gets scared and then reactive (especially when I first got him not really no since he’s been consistently training for so long). It’s not out of aggression, but it was still such a stress for me to deal with at times. No matter what I tried or did (and I grew up with dogs so I’m not completely clueless) I couldn’t get him to truly listen and whenever he’d see a dog he’d bark like crazy and lunge/pull on his leash, chase squirrels and almost drag me down with him, and when I’d open my door and he would charge out-and if a dog was there he was barking and pulling on the leash making me look like a clown. Alicia, the owner, has literally worked miracles with my dog. The difference is night and day. When investing in something like dog training it’s vital to integrate what you learn in the sessions into your everyday life and keep up the training with the dog. My dog no longer pulls on his leash and on the occasion that he does he listens to me now and I’m able to fully rein him in. He’s much less anxious and I can tell he trusts me more since we’ve been seeing Alicia for training. Dogs love discipline and to have strict rules because it makes them feel safe, especially a dog like mine who’s been abused. Alicia is very caring and professional. Will treat your dog like her own and will really do everything she can. She’s always been super transparent and helpful too. I literally I can’t stress enough how stressed I would feel getting ready to walk my dog and getting anxious seeing other dogs and avoiding them because of his barking and reactivity and leash pulling and Alicia has made that a thing of the past. Our walks are leisurely and peaceful now. It’s literally taken so much stress off me and I even my dog too. Priceless work. You can tell Alicia is doing something she was born to do.

Alicia is amazing!! I told her that she is the dog version of super nanny 🤣… She did a wonderful job helping us get control of our wild little doodle boy and gave us great instructions and all of the tools that we need to continue implementing his training at home. While he was in her care she was able to train him to follow and hold commands... He used to be so much chaos and he barked all the time at every little sound when we were at home- so far he’s been much calmer and no barking at sounds at all! A motorcycle drove by earlier, and that used to set him off barking for hours… he heard it and looked up for the sound but didn’t make a peep…. Just went back to relaxing on his place. We are so impressed! I took him for a walk and he used to pull the entire way… he kept the leash loose and listened to me when I changed directions or asked him to stop and sit… such a good boy! Our kids took him out back and played with him and they were running and that used to be an invitation for our dog to go tackle them… he ran and played with them but didn’t take them down and when he did get a little rowdier than I’d like him to be, I gave commands and he actually listened to me! I was thrilled to see that he still has his spunky and energetic personality but without all the chaos… he’s still our boy but now he has manners and my husband and I agree that he seems so more confident in himself and happier… there’s no more stress for him of not knowing what we want him to do or why we are frustrated! If you need a good dog trainer- Alicia with Alpine is worth every penny!!

Alicia has been an absolute god send! I sent my 6 month old German shorthair pointer for a 3 week board and train for on and off lease training! I was super nervous to let my puppy go because she hasn’t left my side since she was born, but Alicia made me feel so comfortable with her being there! She would send pictures and videos and even told me if I wanted to FaceTime to see her I could! German shorthair pointers are truly the best dogs but they do need training and I didn’t have the time in my day to fully teach her the way she needed! Now that she is home we have worked everyday to make sure we keep up with the training! My Dakota girl has been doing so well and I owe it all to Alcoa with Alpine Canine!
