What clients are saying …
“When Alex met my dog Madison she was 1 year old and she couldn’t sit still for more than a second. Alex had the patience to work with not only Madison on her behaviors but our family as well. Alex gave us the tools to live with Madison with no more frustrations. Madison is now a great listener and we all learned so much from Alex. She provided us with reading materials, appropriate toys, and games for Madison that we still use today. My family is eternally grateful to Alex for her love for Madison, her knowledge, and her support.”

“Alex knows dogs and people and is highly effective in helping a dog owner develop skills to train in all areas. She is a good listener and dog observer and quickly proposed and implemented an action plan for me and my rescue pup. I highly recommend Alex - she has a kind disposition, a passion for dogs and is generous with her time.”
