Kiva
“Alana is amazing with dogs! I highly recommend her positive, non punishing, ‘understand it from a dog’s point of view’ approach to training. In 2006, 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. I called and we set up private sessions at my house. Kiva LOVED her. And really, she was training me, too. 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.
We know that has a lot to do with you and the training techniques you taught us. Thanks so much again!”
~ Meredith Eschauzier & Echo, Massachusetts
