She is a very responsible person, always attentive to my pet and its needs. She helped me a lot with a behavioral problem my pet had and knew how to guide me appropriately so that I felt comfortable.

Alanya took great care of my Rotty Sasha. I would recommend her to anybody. I had just moved to the area and needed someone new to look after her and she did not disappoint at all.
Alanya did an amazing job with Max. He came back a completely different dog super obedient and much more focused.

Alanya did an amazing job with Max. He came back a completely different dog super obedient and much more focused. We know he’s still a puppy and will have his moments, but the transformation has been incredible. What impressed me the most is that my daughters can now tell him sit, lay down, and come, and he listens to them right away. That alone is astonishing. And my personal favorite she trained him to go potty on command, which is next level. Alanya clearly loves what she does. She kept us updated almost every day with pictures, videos, and progress reports, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while Max was with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a local dog trainer. We will definitely be using her again in the future, whether for refresher training or when we get another puppy.

I highly recommend Alanya as a trainer. Before working with her, my dog struggled with severe anxiety, constant barking, and reactive behavior toward people. I was genuinely worried about my dog’s safety and didn’t know how to help. Alanya was professional, kind, and extremely communicative from the start. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and addressed the root of the issues, not just the behaviors. Thanks to her training, my dog is now calmer, more confident, and far less reactive. The progress has been incredible, and I’m truly grateful for the positive impact Alanya has had on both my dog and our life.
Alanya was absolutely wonderful! The day we were to leave we had a snow storm so she offered to come to our house to pick up our dog. We didn’t want to put her out so much so we met her in the middle. So we were able to leave early the next morning. She took very good care of Rub…Read full reviewClose full review
Alanya was absolutely wonderful! The day we were to leave we had a snow storm so she offered to come to our house to pick up our dog. We didn’t want to put her out so much so we met her in the middle. So we were able to leave early the next morning. She took very good care of Ruby. We could tell Ruby was very happy staying with her. She sent us photos several times every day. We would definitely highly recommend her.!!!!!
