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.

I am so thankful for Allegra and all she has done for my 4 year old doxie-mix Hunter. He was attacked by a dog last year and developed fear-based aggression and leash reactivity making it almost impossible for me to walk him anywhere. Hunter is such a loving dog inside the home with other people but as soon as he gets outside and see's other dogs he becomes a terrifying aggressive dog it and I was scared he would attack a dog or even worse a person. The Naked Dog's approach to dog behavior and retraining the humans was life changing. I had no idea how much my behavior really impacted Hunter. Allegra was so responsive to our training needs and really customized our experience to make sure we got Hunter to where he needed to be in his training. I am continually working on our training as this is a lifestyle change and is not a 'quick fix'. You gotta put in the work everyday but the fundamentals that Allegra taught us are the key to our continued success. I hands down would recommend giving The Naked Dog a call if you are looking for long term training success for you and your furry baby!

My husband and I have had a fantastic experience working with Hailey at The Naked Dog. Hailey changed our lives when it comes to day to day living with our dog Arnold. Before our first training session, we struggled with Arnold biting his leash, not listening at dog parks when called (selective hearing), and acting up/ being rambunctious around the house when we were trying to watch a movie or relax. Things have sure changed! Arnold is now so good that we are able to take him everywhere with us (restaurants, parks, planes) without any issues. After our full training series, we joined a Saturday hiking group with Hailey that furthered Arnold’s skills when it comes to being off-leash! He will now heel when off leash (when asked) and comes back every time we call him. It’s no longer stressful taking him out on a hike! Not to mention Hailey showed us so many great new trails. We have been so lucky to find The Baked Dog! We can’t wait to get Arnold into one of their hiking groups!

Allegra and The Naked Dog's Puppy Boot Camp have been a life saver to me and Clark, my rescue Great Pyrenees dog. Clark came into my life 3.5 months ago, and while I was ready and willing to work on behaviors he exhibited when I was around, I was not ready for the note on my door describing his barking/howling while I was away. Allegra gave me all the tips and tricks I needed to start battling his separation anxiety. He has gained so much confidence in the world around him and his place in my pack. We are still working with Allegra to make him a happy dog when I'm not around, but I trust with her guidance we are going to be receiving notes of praise on the door soon. Thank you, The Naked Dog, for everything.

Allegra was so great with both our dogs! She provides a ton of useful information at each of the sessions that really helped to transform their behavior. One of our dogs in particular was a completely different dog with her - Allegra is a true dog whisperer!! I highly recommend her with any issues you maybe facing with your pups. We were under a lot of stress due to one of our dog's behaviors and it was so worth the money to help get those issues sorted out.

Last year, my dog Phoebe was attacked by another dog on leash, and everything changed. She went from a free-spirited dog-loving pup to an extremely anxious dog that was weary of all new dogs and even humans. I would avoid walking her when other people were out, could no longer bring her out to dog parks or restaurants, and she had so much anxiety. Yet, this all changed when I found Allegra. Her reviews on here are what convinced me to give this a try—they are all an accurate portrayal of how incredible she is. It’s true, you as an owner have to be ready to commit to this program and be trained in order to train your pup. It’s difficult at first because of how different it is, but after about a week, you already start seeing results, and it will change your life. Allegra has taught my partner and I how to transform our relationship with Phoebe to decrease both of our anxiety and increase our trust in each other. For her graduation from training, Phoebe went OFF LEASH at Zilker park and interacted with all sorts of dogs and humans, and even sniffed the butts of a few Huskies. That was the breed of dog that attacked her, and she would *literally* scream anytime she would see a husky before. I can not recommend Allegra and The Naked Dog more. If you need a push to do this—here it is. Do it, and you’ll be forever grateful you did!
