About
A successful relationship with your dog is like any other relationship: communication and respect are paramount. The issue? Dogs can't talk. That's where good training and an understanding of animal behavior come in. It's easy to teach a dog to sit; but more important than any specific command, is the overall quality of the relationship between you and your dog. Our training not only covers basic and advanced obedience commands, but helps owners and dogs have better communication.
Meet the Trainer
Born and raised in Louisville, KY, Allie attended Bellarmine University where she received her Bachelor's in Psychology before starting her career as a dog trainer. She has over seven years of experience training dogs. She has trained hundreds of dogs and puppies in obedience and manners and has a gift for helping owners better understand and thus, change their dogs' behavior.
Philosophy
I love dog training because I love understanding and helping dogs. I take their wellbeing seriously. I have an intentional methodology and never treat training as a one size fits all. My clients receive the attention, individualized care, and expertise not found at mass-market training facilities. Board & train dogs live in the home for safety, comfort, and a realistic training environment. Dogs are never in a kennel facility. I accept only a limited number of board & train dogs at a time so that each dog receives meaningful attention and care during their stay.
