Testimonials
"Alisson has an amazing ability to read a dog and tell
the meaning of his actions as well as how to correct
them. She has a great personality, is easy to work
with and has strength and poise in her handling of
dogs. Our Italian Greyhound Remington has gone
from a puppy with a non-existant attention span to
one that listens and obeys. We were taught basic
leash training, correction of behavioral issues such
as housebreaking and jumping and development of
socialization skills with other dogs. We'd highly
recommend Alisson."

"When we first adopted our dog Scout, she would
jump on people and pull on the leash when we
would walk her. We would give her simple
commands and didn't understand why she wouldn't
listen. Then friends recommended Alisson and we
knew we wanted to work with her. Alisson taught
Scout (and both of us) what we needed to do to be
successful at training. There was so much that
Alisson was able to teach us that we weren't even
aware of, like how to hold the leash the correct way
or where Scout should be when we were walking
her. In just a few short lessons we changed the way
we were training Scout, and Scout was successful at
following her commands.
When we started with Alisson, Scout was about 5
months old, now she is a year and we are on to off-
leash commands. We receive compliments all the
time when we are out walking with Scout. We would
not have such a well behaved dog if it were not for
Alisson and her training techniques. Alisson has
helped us to train and socialize Scout in the correct
way. We know that if we ever have questions about
training or anything related to Scout she is always
willing to help. We have really enjoyed working with
Alisson and have recommended her to many of our
dog loving friends. All three of us have enjoyed
working with Alisson!"

"Alisson is our hero! We were/are the proud owners
of three lovely adopted dogs who (unbeknown to
us) ruled our house. Both my husband and I bore
the battle scars from "arguments" with the obvious
masters of our domain. Then...entered Alisson.
Simply put, she gave us our lives back. She
thoughtfully and throughly evaluated the
personalities and "development opportunities" of
our pups. She took the two with the most significant
issues under her wing for a Residential Program.
When we were happily reunited, it was a miracle.
We were clearly the alpha's, and our "kids" were just
sooo happy to be allowed to be dogs once again. It
has been many months now, and by simply
maintaining the simple rules that Alisson transferred
to us, life still continues to be peaceful and
pleasurable. We loved our dogs very much, but
thanks to Alisson's intervention, we are back to the
loving life we had known before they came into our
lives."

"When we first got our adorable puppy, at nine
weeks old, we were filled with idealistic enthusiasm
and the best of intentions. My children, husband
and I thought that if we loved our little "fluffball"
Jordan enough, we would all live happily and
peacefully. By 12 weeks we thought we might be
wrong. By 14 weeks we KNEW we were very
wrong. At 15 weeks Alisson was sitting in our dining
room speaking very directly yet reassuringly to all of
us. Alisson was amazing as she talked with each of
my 3 children and equally effective with my husband
and me.
Alisson took Jordan into residency when he was 15
1/2 weeks old. Our family needed those 2 weeks to
"regroup" and over the next several months Alisson
has met with our entire family group to continue the
positive work. At our final lesson, I confessed
feeling that we had lost a little ground, and by the
end of the session, all of us felt back on track!!
Thank you Alisson!!"

A year and a half ago we decided to have our
“punk” Jersey go through obedience training.
When we contacted Alisson we had a one and a half
year old yellow lab out of control. He wouldn’t listen,
chewed our floor boards, dragged us down the
street and even chewed a hole through the wall.
We went through two other training programs and
neither had the effectiveness and care that Alisson
offered.
Alisson came to our home and nicely explained to
us that Jersey was the one in charge of our family.
She explained how she would train Melanie and I to
communicate with Jersey so he could be a part of
our family. Alisson showed us her training programs
and it was clear that the residency program she
offers was the best for our situation. Melanie was
against having our little boy go away for any period
of time. So I went to check out Alissons’ place, dogs
and spoke with other customers. We called each
referral Alisson provided us.
Since the program, Jersey has been a great family
member. He listens, walks well and is terrific with
our 7 month old daughter. We have continued our
relationship with Alisson as she boards him
whenever we need to go out of town and can’t bring
him. He loves her and her dogs. With Jersey now 2
½ years old and after starting out skeptical, we are
thankful to Alisson for all she has done. She loves
the pets who’s owners she teaches as much as her
own. We continue to recommend our friends to
Alisson.
