There is a night and day difference between my dog’s behavior. He’s more disciplined and calmer with the structures put in place

Awesome service!! She will take care of your pup as if it's her own and always keeps you updated and works with your schedule! Loves dogs and knows how to train them too if they need some help. She's helped him to stop pulling the leash so much and helped with getting a good collar that helps train him better than what I had. Her pup is my dog's new best friend now too, he loves going to their place and always comes back very happy. Highly recommended!

Alanya really knows her stuff! We did a 5 day board and train with our 9 month old bulldog puppy and she was able to really improve his behavior! We’re already noticing a difference. She even did a session with our older dog to familiarize him with some of the commands she was teaching our puppy. She also kept us updated throughout with messages and photos. Highly recommend Valor K9 if you’re looking for dog training!
She was very professional. I see improvement in my dogs walking behavior after one session. Looking forward to the board and training services!

I got my dog from a shelter about 1.5 years ago, she was perfect at first but soon came the behavioral issues. I’m talking about severe reactivity and any chance she got to bite other dogs or animals, she took it. She almost bit my niece. I was debating euthanasia because I was scared that she would actually bite someone or kill an animal, and on top of that I spent hundreds of dollars on other trainers but to no avail. I gave us one more chance, I found Valor K9/ Alanya on facebook and tried my luck. The first day I met Alanya she took pride in her words and was amazing with my dog. In little time I started to see changes in my sweet girl. She was calmer around other people and animals, she would often have a tendency to go for them but Alanya taught the both of us how to control it. After a couple of weeks, I was finally able to have my dog off leash, around other dogs, and my niece can finally spend time with her. I am so grateful I found Alanya, she saved my dog and my family. I will always recommend her to anyone in need. If your dog needs training, book with her!
