At Attention Dog Training

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Vania at At Attention Dog Training! Classes were fun and very educational. This isn't a plug and play approach to dog training; this is a holistic method based on understanding the behavior and psychology of our furry friends. The "fear free" approach is the very best way to shape your puppy into the kind of companion who is focused on working with you, not on cowering in front of you. The end result is a relationship that ensures a better quality of life for both dog and owner.

We’re so thankful for Vania’s help with our energetic, playful and silly rescue, Gracie, as well as our resident dog. We needed help learning how to slowly introduce the two while also teaching Gracie basic manners and boundaries— especially with a young toddler in our home. Vania was patient and flexible. She taught us so many things we never thought of and was able to adjust our plan for the day if Gracie was too energetic at the time. It was amazing to see Gracie’s progress after just one session! I’m looking forward to building on the great foundation of skills Vania helped us develop with both of our dogs :) We highly recommend!

We highly recommend At Attention Dog Training and especially Alicia! We adopted our dog, Rosie, from a rescue and after a few months she began displaying some guest reactivity and protectiveness towards our family. Alicia helped us understand her behaviors and taught us strategies for helping her during stressful situations. We have a whole guest protocol that we now follow when people come to our house and it’s made a huge difference! Alicia shared videos and tips with us about dog behaviors and body language and also made recommendations for resources and activities that have been so helpful for our dog. Alicia was so patient, caring, and knowledgeable. Our whole family loved working with her and Rosie's quality of life has improved tremendously because of her help! Thank you Alicia!

We opted for the in-home training for our cavalier king charles puppy. Carli was wonderful with him! She was attentive, always asked for updates, and adjusted training to what we wanted to focus on. Her love of dogs was evident and her gentle and kind nature was appreciated. For a client-oriented, client-pleasing, and especially dog-pleasing experience, I recommend At Attention Dog Training without hesitation. Ask for Carli!

Carli’s patience and kindness made all the difference in training our new golden retriever puppy, Millie. Carli has a remarkable talent for creating positive experiences, ensuring that every session was enjoyable and productive. She expertly guided us through essential skills, including motivation techniques and crucial commands like "Leave It," "Drop It," and "Stay." Her approach to training not only focused on commands but also emphasized building Millie's confidence in new environments. One of the standout aspects of Carli’s training was her emphasis on positive reinforcement. She taught us how to effectively use treats and markers, making sure that Millie associates new experiences with positivity. The practical tips, such as the "Loose Leash Walking" guidelines and the "Wait" cue, have already transformed our walks and interactions with Millie. Carli’s passion for dog training shines through her methods, and we truly appreciate her guidance. Thanks to her, Millie is becoming a well-behaved and confident pup! We highly recommend Carli to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring dog trainer.
