Alexandra was really great to work with. She’s very patient with our puppy who bites a lot. Her techniques are very positive and he learned very quickly!

Alexandra is such an amazing dog trainer. She is so patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I worked with her after adopting a 5 month old puppy who had a lot to work on. He had no prior socialization experiences and he is a high energy breed. After working with Alexandra for almost 3 months he’s in such a better place. I’m very thankful for Alexandra and all of the time she spent helping us.
Alexandra is amazing! She uses kind and effective methods that make training stress-free and enjoyable. My dogs loved the sessions and have made incredible progress. Highly recommend!
Alex helped us train our (2) rescues and they now listen to commands and walk loose leash. The CBT approach to training is a fantastic and effective way to train your pups. Thanks Alex!

Our pup had been doing great in the training we were doing ourselves but then developed a habit of barking at passerby's out our window and also would occasionally bark and lunge at passerby's when on a leash. Alexandra took time to understand Beau's challenges and gave us a clear plan on how to improve his behavior. She was able to explain the reasoning behind everything so we got a really strong understanding. He's not perfect yet but we've seen a huge improvement in his barking and reactivity! We'll definitely book another session soon to keep up with his new skills. We'd recommend her to a friend!
