Alana has truly made a huge impact on the lives of myself, my husband and our two dogs! We first worked with Alana when we only had our black lab, Joey, that we had adopted a few years previously. Joey was reactive on the leash and overall didn't have the structure and boundaries that he needed to be a less anxious dog. Alana turned that around during our one-on-one sessions where we learned SO much about how to create a better environment for our pup. She eventually helped train Joey, and us, on e-collar training as well.
Joey's progress and overall state-of-mind changes helped us to feel confident bringing another dog into our home. This past spring we adopted a golden retriever puppy, Beaux, and immediately planned training sessions with Alana. Her training techniques and tips made puppy life so easy for us!! Beaux did great with potty training and sleeping through the night almost immediately. Even though he was doing great with the training Alana had taught us, we scheduled a board and train for Beaux at 6 months old. It was the best decision. Beaux came home from his time with Alana a confident, happy and relaxed dog, who had perfected his commands. We are still in shock over how much he learned in three weeks! Alana kept us updated the entire time, sending pictures, and even bringing Joey into her home to work on training with both of them.
Overall, we are so thankful to have the opportunity to work with Alana. She is so knowledgeable and truly cares about the mind space of your dogs, not just their behaviors. I have, and will continue to, recommend her to everyone I know!
