Your approach matters. It’s better to use humane, science-based dog training techniques and perfect your skills than to employ outdated or harmful methods that risk your dog’s trust and well-being.

Kiva
“I brought home an adorable yellow lab puppy—who was full of life and bouncy—and I was exhausted! Someone at our dog park recommended Alana…Kiva LOVED her. By the end of our classes Kiva and I had developed a common language and ‘groundrules’ —to the relief of me and our cat!” ~ Comma Williams & Kiva, Massachusetts
Echo
“Echo’s such a well behaved dog. Thanks to your guidance when she was a puppy, we now have a very well behaved dog who is so patient, calm, caring and gentle with our young daughter.”
~ Meredith Eschauzier & Echo, Massachusetts
