Dog Savvy Los Angeles, led by Alexandra, offers positive, game-based dog training that focuses on building confidence and trust through play and choice. Dogs are viewed as intelligent and complex creatures, and this perspective shapes the training approach.
Alexandra's methods have been successful with dogs of all ages and backgrounds, including puppies and rescue dogs, particularly those facing behavioral challenges like fear, reactivity, and separation anxiety. Clients have reported significant improvements in their dogs' obedience, social skills, and overall well-being. For instance, one client noted that their reactive chihuahua mix now walks more easily, and another dog has become more confident and better behaved since starting training.
Alexandra provides both in-person and virtual training sessions, tailoring her approach to each individual dog and owner. Many clients have expressed satisfaction with the virtual training, noting that it feels just as effective as in-person sessions. Known for her patience, compassion, and thorough understanding of canine behavior, Alexandra has been a wonderful source of information on various topics, from product recommendations to behavior management.
