Lexi is hands down a miracle worker! We were having issues with our 64lbs Lab/Pit mix because she's very strong and high spirited. Sometimes this took the shape of pulling us during our entire walk, other times she would run around like a wild animal in our apt and in the worst case scenarios she'd get super agressive towards other dogs. Lexi's simple and positive training methods flipped the way we thought about dealing with our dogs "short comings", instead she taught us to use them as opportunities to reward behavior. Her methods are so simple it's makes you question why you didn't think of it sooner! They work and are actually fun to use because the narrative with our dog is a positive one now. There are no more punishments, yelling out of frustration or fearful encounters with other dogs. Lexi's positive reinforcement techniques only allow space for our dog to be praised and rewarded. After our 1st session we saw such a dramatic shift in our dogs behavior we decided to sign up for another series of 5 sessions, which I would highly recommend. This enabled us to tackle isolated issues during each session, then combine all those individual techniques to create a new positive behavior. This whole experience has made her a better dog and us better parents. Our walks are now something to look forward to, she actually has started making "friends" with other dogs in the building and she feels more connected to us now. We joke with friends that Lexi provided training for our dog but in the process improved our relationship as a couple because we no longer have tension in the household! We couldn't recommend Dog Savvy with higher praise. Lexi is simply amazing at what she does!!!

After searching for many dog trainers, I came across Lexi with Dog Savvy after watching one of her videos online. Our dog is 9 years old and she needed some help with not pulling on walks and aggression towards other dogs. From the first visit, we were so impressed with Lexi and noticed immediate positive shifts in our dog. We could tell Lexi had a "gift" with dogs. After our first session, we instantly bought a package with several more sessions. We are beyond satisfied and have been recommending her to friends who need animal training as well. Not only did the training help our dog but it helped us as people as well!

We had Alexandra come to our place to help us with our rescued mini dachshund mix who would bark and cry for over an hour every time we left for work. She came on a weekend and worked with us for over two hours, helping us to understand the reasons why our dog was behaving this way and helping to train us on how to resolve the problem ourselves. She was extremely kind and patient with our dog, and her advice was not something we would have found online. Two weeks after following her advice and implementing the training she recommended our dog has already shown great improvement. Anyone who is looking to train their dog out of any bad habits should give Alexandra a call.
