My soon to be one year old shiz poo refused to walk with me or wanted to wander every where. She was walking beside me before an hour of training. Alisa answered all if our questions succinctly and gave many practical suggestions. We had never gotten Poppy to walk down steps which meant we would have to carry her down our many house steps. In one minute Alisa had her walking down the steps. She is God sent. The best trainerI have ever seen. It is worth every penny of ur money if u have concerns about ur dog or puppy.

I have a lab mix that developed aggressive behaviors on the leash, specifically towards other dogs. We have tried using a pinch collar, a shock collar, and the advice of another dogtrainer that advised us to practice dominance training (leaving her in the kennel often & using heel on the leash). None of these options worked long term, she always found a way around it to continue her reactivity. We went to the Dog Whisperette for different advice to train our dog, and we really enjoy her cognitive-focused approach. It has been a few weeks since we saw the Dog Whisperette, and the effectiveness of this training has not worn off like the others did. The Dog Whisperette provides you with all of the knowledge you need to be successful in training your dog. It is up to you to be consistent with the training to see results, but it is a slow process to break the bad habits. In my opinion, this training is definitely worth the more expensive one-time fee. Highly recommend using the Dog Whisperette!

We hired Dog Whisperette to help us train a 3 1/2 month old German Shepherd mix. This is a high energy puppy with a streak of stubbornness. Our session was excellent. The pup responded to the training and upon completion was relaxed and in tune with the commands she was being given. We highly recommend Dog Whisperette

I hired the Dog Whispertte to help my mother train her two dogs. As soon as she walked through the door, they were completely different dogs. She taught my mother and I how to establish dominance and also how to transfer calming energy to our dogs. She also gave me tips that I can use with my own dogs at home. I usually don’t write reviews until I see consistent results from my investments but my mothers dogs are whole new animals already !!
