We had been told there was no hope - Our Buddy is a hard case!! We rescued a bundle of love that came with many issues. We sent him away for training, but he still needed work. Truth is, so did we. Through training and patience Alex has taught us and Buddy how to better deal with all of those issues. He can make good decisions and only wants to make us happy. We never imagined he could be so calm and obedient. For a dog that cannot be around other animals, Alex has been able to give Buddy a best friend in Lola! They enjoy walks in the park together and an occasional free run at the dog park, when no one else is around! If it wasn't for the many long hours, months of dedication (a few tears from mom) and Alex's commitment to Buddy, our baby was facing a very sad outcome. We are forever grateful and will continue to work with Alex. And Lola, of course! If there were 10 stars Alex deserves all of them! She is professional, motivated, caring, knowledgeable and fearless!

I just finished private lessons with Alex. She is very knowledgeable and can tell she loves what she is doing. She has taught me how to properly walk my dog. My dog would pull, jump, bite the leash and bite my jacket and hang from it. Now my dog walks beside me and looks up at me enjoying her walk. Alex has also taught me to keep my dog still in my house by using place. I can know put my dishes away and do other things without my dog in my way. So wonderful. My dog also has good manners at the door. She sits and waits without jumping at my guests. Without Alex I don’t think I could have tackled all this on my own. She has taught me how to handle my dog and has showed me how to be calm with her. I highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed. I know she is just a phone call away if I need her again.

Alex did a fantastic job with my dog Owen! I sent Owen to her for a three week board and train after a couple biting incidents on myself and his previous owner. Alex was able to identify what was causing his spurts of aggressive behavior and he came back incredibly well mannered and obedient. She gave me a few follow up lessons to help me keep Owen on the right track and teach me how to properly work with him. I couldn't recommend her services more, she's a very skilled trainer!

We sent our 1 year old Labrador named Bailey on a two week board and train with Alex. We were having problems with Bailey listening and focusing to our commands. Bailey also had some negative behaviors that we were not able to handle on our own. It is difficult to put into words just how ecstatic we are with Bailey's results! He is focused, listens to our commands, knows his boundaries, all the while still being the fun loving puppy he was before! We are able to take Bailey for walks with ease. No more lunging and barking at everything that walks by. Bailey now looks to us for reassurance and tries so hard to do what he was trained to do. Alex taught us the skills we needed to keep the training she started with Bailey, consistent at home. She has always been available for support and reassurance. Thank you Alex for your compassion and expertise! This was the best investment that we could have ever made for our family!
