We loved Alicia immediately and so did our dog, Huckleberry. We could literally dangle a treat in front of him and he still wouldn’t listen. Since his time with Alicia, we joke that this is not our dog. He is still his playful, goofy self but with manners. The best part is you ca…Read full reviewClose full review

We loved Alicia immediately and so did our dog, Huckleberry. We could literally dangle a treat in front of him and he still wouldn’t listen. Since his time with Alicia, we joke that this is not our dog. He is still his playful, goofy self but with manners. The best part is you can see how proud he is of himself. No more dashing outside when the door opens, barking nonstop because he wants something we are unaware of, jumping on everyone and everything, etc. Our home is a much calmer place to be thanks to Alicia.

Thank you, Alicia, for your dedication and direction for our Miesha. You rock! I only wish that I possessed your gift with regard to our fur babies.

Thank you, Alicia, for your dedication and direction for our Miesha. You rock! I only wish that I possessed your gift with regard to our fur babies. After 4w, admittedly, so difficult for me to be without him, our boy is home much chilled, less stubborn and with, apparent, less anxiety. Thank you for your continued dedication to Miesha and our family for continuous training and direction. Most importantly, we thank you for loving our boy❣️

We seriously could not have asked for a better trainer! I rescued my dog Rocket almost 2 years ago and it’s been a journey. He became possessive over me and wouldn’t allow anyone to come into my home without being reactive. I was constantly in fear of him biting someone. I knew this life wasn’t good for either of us so I’m so happy I ran into Alicia. Our life changed drastically so I knew I needed something for Rocket so he could life his best life. Alicia is an amazing trainer. She always takes the time to answer all of our questions. I can truly tell how much dedication and love she put into Rocket while he was at the board and train program. He came home a different dog and in time I know he will keep improving. With the skills Alicia has taught myself, Rocket, and the rest of the family, I feel confident and less worried of his reactions. I would absolutely recommend Activate Dog Training. I can’t say enough good things about the program! You will be highly impressed with your pup when they returns home.

We couldn't have asked for a better trainer! Our 3 year old male Dobie wasn't the easiest to walk or to take out in public. Three weeks with Alicia at Activate Canine Dog Training and he is a changed pup. He's a pleasure to walk now and is doing marvelously with all his commands.…Read full reviewClose full review

We couldn't have asked for a better trainer! Our 3 year old male Dobie wasn't the easiest to walk or to take out in public. Three weeks with Alicia at Activate Canine Dog Training and he is a changed pup. He's a pleasure to walk now and is doing marvelously with all his commands. My husband and I have a much better understanding of how to continue his growth going forward. We could not be happier that we found Alicia and Activate Canine Dog Training!

Alicia did a great job training our new puppy. She was so easy to work with and a great communicator. Try
