Alison is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, prepared, and skilled at what she does. She gave me the tools that I needed to feel confident to care for my two girls (pitties). I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone needed dog training or assistance.
We had the pleasure of hiring Progress 4 Paws for six sessions. Our not so little guy blossomed into a more confident dog and we have started to see our senior dog pick up on our lessons too. Alison is a professional, highly educated and compassionate trainer whom you can tell has our dog’s best interest in mind during every interaction. Our puppy is more on the nervous side and while he will take time to fully learn the tremendous knowledge Alison imparted on him, we know we now have the tools to allow him to grow into the best dog he can be. We highly recommend Progress 4 Paws for anyone at any stage of pet parenting. THANK YOU ALISON!
