Reactivity is one of the most common problems I work on.
Lunging, barking, spinning, pulling hard toward dogs, people, bikes, squirrels. It's exhausting. It makes something as simple as a walk feel like a battle.
Sound familiar?
If any of these sound like your days, you're in the right place.
Explodes the second they spot another dog.
Every walk means scanning and crossing the street.
Perfectly fine off leash, a nightmare on it.
You've started avoiding walks to skip the stress.
Lunges or barks at people, bikes, or cars.
You tense up before a walk and your dog feels it.
What owners say

"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!"

"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!"

"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."
