We adopted our sweet Dolly through Eunoia Rescue and Alicia was both her trainer and most recent foster mom. Their bond is everlasting :) Alicia is wonderful and caring, while also providing clear guidance and fantastic results! Highly recommend!!

Alicia was wonderful and did an amazing job with our 7mo Mini Bernedoodle. Because my elderly parents came to live with us, we needed to be sure Bernadette would grow to be her best self. After much research, and vetting several trainers, we chose ACDT. It was personally very difficult for us, but we put our complete trust in her, and she did not let us down! Alicia was educated on Mini Bern’s special needs and temperament, and she took excellent care of our baby. Bernadette came back to us leveled up, and still with all her wonderful, fun and silly personality. Alicia also gets five stars dealing with the anxious, overprotective pup-parents. Without saying, working with the owners may sometimes prove more precarious than working with the 4-legged student lol. We all look forward to continue working with Alicia!
The services we received were outstanding. The transition we saw in our dog was amazing. Once you meet Alicia you will see why. Her passion for training is revealed in the finish product. Of course, we as Greta’s family understand we must continue to be consistent daily for her continued success. Thanks Alicia!
Alicia and her team did an outstanding job with out two pups, Teddy and Buddy. Over the course of 3 weeks, they went from unmanageable to gentlemen. We have our home back again and companions that we can enjoy spending time with in pubic, and vice versa.

Alicia is fantastic! I sent my 1 year old Australian Cattle Dog to her for training - he is a very high energy, strong willed, and stubborn boy. Alicia was great with sending us updates on his progress during the time he stayed with her. When she brought him back home to us, I couldn’t believe how much he had transformed. He now walks beautifully on leash, has much better impulse control, and is just well mannered all around. Alicia still checks in with us to make sure that our dog (and we) are staying consistent and she’ll give us suggestions on what to work on next as he continues to advance. Booking with her was seriously the best investment - 10/10 would recommend!
