Dog Behavior Consultations: Virtual & In-Person
Professional Help for Dog Behavior Problems
In-person dog behavior training available in Greenville, Travelers Rest, Taylors, Greer, Five Forks, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Spartanburg, and surrounding communities in Upstate SC.
Alana Stevenson provides dog behavior training consultations for behavioral issues including fear aggression, reactivity on leash, excessive barking, multi-dog conflict and other challenging behavior. She uses kind methods — no prong collars, shock collars, or pinch collars — and has over 20+ years of professional experience. She does not use leash corrections.
Behavior consultations are 2.5 to 3.5 hours. All clients will be asked to fill out a Canine Behavioral Questionnaire.

Vesper & Kingston
“We needed Alana to help our dogs get along (Kingston was terrified of boisterous Vesper; Vesper wanted to take every opportunity to show that she dominated). Alana’s deep knowledge of dog behavior and her gentle and loving approach to help them worked wonders!” ~ Jane McCarthy, Kingston & Vesper, Lexington
Jack
“Alana came in and observed Jack with the entire family—myself, my wife, her mom and Ember. She was able to help us immensely by outlining an approach and plan that helped ensure my mother in law’s safety even as her disease progressed while keeping Jack reassured. It worked wonderfully, and we are forever grateful.” ~ John & Kathi Bourke, Jack & Ember, Massachusetts
