I hired Alison because I was struggling with all kinds of issues with my dog. Alison is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She not only worked with my dog, but also taught me how to better communicate with my dog. Her training is tailored to your needs and with each session she leaves you notes, which are very helpful. I highly recommend Alison of Progressive Paws.
Alison is incredibly thorough, attentive and caring towards the animals she trains and educates the animal’s owner on how to train them and work with them to get superior outcomes. Highly recommended. We hope to work with Alison for a while to come.
