River's Edge Canine, LLC

Alex is great. She is wonderful to work with. She was always on time, flexible with appointments and always sent reminders. As a trainer, I had complete faith in her and she was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the different behaviors I was having with my dog. My dog could not be taken to the vet to get her shots. After three tries and some sessions with Alex we finally got her there! That was just one of the behaviors we worked on. I would not hesitate at all to refer her.

Over the last few weeks we’ve had Alex come in and help work on some behaviors with my two rescue dogs. We’ve worked on jumping, barking, nipping, dominance/aggression, leash walking, as well as dog/people reactivity. Alex was so helpful with also teaching me how to interact, correct, and establish my role as a boss not just a friend, which is hard when they are so cute all the time! It’s amazing the difference that I’ve seen. My fiance and I cannot thank Alex enough for all the help, tips and advice! If anyone is dealing with issues with their dogs (young or old!) I HIGHLY recommend working with Alex. She’s magic!! Now, I get to continue working with and training my pups knowing she is only a phone call away if needed! Thank you!!

Alex and River’s Edge Canine have been amazing for us! My puggle, Callie, was recently diagnosed with a back issue that unfortunately is chronic and something we will have to deal with for the rest of her life. Even though she’s almost 8 years old, she still gets crazy and energetic on walks.....she pulls and barks and goes crazy any time she sees another dog which puts her at risk for injury. With her being older, we weren’t sure if we had any hope of training her how to behave better so that she can continue to enjoy the things she loves without hurting herself. In the short time we’ve worked with Alex, Callie is truly like a new dog on walks. Alex has come up with several training tips to help us work with Callie to make her the best dog she can be. Her bad behavior in the house has also improved unbelievably! We couldn’t be more happy with the work Alex has done with Callie...... I recommend her 100%!!

Working with a dog trainer or even selecting a trainer can feel like a shot in the dark without a recommendation. River's Edge Canine - Alex - worked with me and my Boxer Barley. Animals behave in certain ways and have good and bad manners that can be exacerbated by lack of structure and boundaries. I didn't know any of that until I worked with Alex. We had typical issues like poor leash manners, barking and a tad of fear aggression. Alex has a plan for you and its not a pre-determined rubric; its an evaluation of you, your dog and issues you want to correct. Simple strategies on behavior modification that I am confident will help you bond better with you dog and learn how to make those changes stick. I recommend Alex to anyone seeking new training or looking to solve an existing gap.

We just wrapped up a several weeks of training with Alex and we had a fantastic experience. She is knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate about her work. She is very friendly, not judgmental at all. I felt very comfortable learning from her and utilizing the strategies she gave us to help manage our dog's behavior. Alex has been reliable, always on time, always checking in and following up. My dog's behaviors improved rapidly. I highly recommend her!
