About The Naked Dog
The Naked Dog offers training programs that teach you, the human, to 'speak dog.' Most owners call us with one problem behavior they really want to change. Instead of treating the symptom and spot correcting only that behavior, we take a holistic approach that addresses the way your dog sees the world. These tools last a lifetime and can be applied to any training issues you face in the future.

Allegra is extremely unprofessional and I do not recommend anyone work with her.

Not only am I more confident and inspired in the relationship I’m cultivating with my pup but also with my relationship to life. It has been a powerful journey to create more awareness around the subtle communication that is unfolding constantly; to see what is being conveyed through my actions with my dog and her own sense of safety and trust in the directions she receives from me. It has been a pleasure to dive into this work with Alegra and Haley. I am humbled with all I have learned and am very much looking forward to continue harvesting the depth of knowledge, experience and sensitivity they have in this work. *Feeling very inspired and very very grateful*

When I adopted Sadie, my 7-month old, large, mixed breed, she had never been socialized and froze/balked throughout walks anytime another person, dog or car approached. It could take 20 minutes to go 20 yards. I didn't know what to do. Allegra taught me that Sadie would follow me if she believed I was a calm and confident leader. I started practicing Allegra's tips on how to reset the relationship with Sadie, not petting her when she approached, making her move when she's in the way, not talking to her constantly, etc. I found it hard to withhold affection, but I owed it to myself and Sadie to try my best. Fast forward three months, and with Allegra's visits and The Naked Dog Team's emailed suggestions, videos and "how to" articles, Sadie is a different dog. She loves walks now! She is calm, polite and alert. She has even become a steady jogging companion. Allegra and The Naked Dog team gave me great support throughout Sadie's evolution, letting me know how I could handle situations better and giving me insight into how Sadie might view different situations. Throughout it all, they gave me confidence that Sadie could become an awesome canine companion if I could become the leader she needed. Sadie's evolution is happening at a faster clip than mine, but this old dog has some more Naked Dog tricks coming. We hope to start the off-leash series soon!
The team is very thorough and knowledgeable in dog training. You will learn many training tactics to bring out the best in your dog! Like all training it does take a lot of work on your end, so be prepared to put in the time.
