NEW DOG TRAINING

Introducing a new dog
to your home

A rough start doesn't mean a bad match. It usually means you need a clearer plan.

Most dogs take time to adjust.
Some need more help than others.

Tension that doesn't improve, or that keeps getting worse, is worth getting ahead of early. The longer it goes on, the harder it gets to untangle.

What I actually
help with.

Planning a new dog introduction before it happens. Working through a rocky adjustment after the fact. Helping dogs who aren't getting along find a way to coexist. Earlier is almost always easier.

Sound familiar?

If any of these sound like your days, you're in the right place.

Your resident dog isn't accepting the new one.

Every greeting between them turns into a fight.

You're keeping them separated and feeling stuck.

You want the introduction done right from the start.

Things were okay at first but have gone downhill.

You're nervous about leaving them alone together.

A clear plan makes a real difference.

I'll help you set up the introduction in a way that gives both dogs the best chance. If things have already gotten rocky, I'll assess what's happening and tell you clearly what I'd do about it.

What owners say

Deborah L.

"We have been with Alison for years. We first met her when we signed up our dogs for daycare at Country Canine in Acton. Our dogs loved it there. We then had worked with Alison many times to help us curb some of our dog's negative behavior and habits. Alison was always patient, kind and she's very knowledgeable. I think it was my husband and I that needed the training to be consistent. I highly recommend Alison and her training skills!"

Melissa C.

"We have a 6 month old mini Goldendoodle. Alison provided fantastic teaching (for the humans) and training for Oliver in our home. It was GREAT doing the training in the home setting. Oliver was VERY HIGH ENERGY and nipping so Alison took him to her house for a few days to help. I am not kidding when I say he is a “new” dog! I still can’t believe how much better he is… we are following Alison’s guidance. She truly is AMAZING. I ABSOLUTELY recommend her services!"

Brian T.

"My wife and I had a great experience working with Alison to train our 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy. As a first time dog owner, she came prepared with helpful materials and thoughtful questions to truly understand our puppy and our goals. We especially appreciated how available and responsive she was via text and email. We cannot recommend Alison enough to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated dog trainer who will help make your puppy view you as its owners."
