DOG BEHAVIOR TRANING FOR WALKERS

Dog handling training for walkers and groomers

When you work with dogs for a living, knowing how to read them makes every day safer and a lot easier.

You're managing different
dogs every single day.

Different temperaments, triggers, and energy levels. I work with professionals who want to get better at reading dogs and handling situations before they escalate.

What I actually
help with.

Reading body language and early warning signs. Handling anxious or reactive dogs. Managing group dynamics on walks. De-escalation. Feeling more confident with difficult dogs so you can do your job well and safely.

Sound familiar?

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

A dog in your care started acting out of nowhere.

You want more confidence with reactive or nervous dogs.

Group walk dynamics are getting hard to manage.

One client's dog is throwing off the whole group.

You handle several dogs at once and need them calm.

You want to get it right the first time around.

Built around the work you actually do.

This isn't generic obedience training repackaged. I work with you on the specific situations you face, in the real environment you work in.

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."
