Wolf Moon Dogs

Before I adopted Goober, I knew that I wanted Alana to train him. She has trained other dogs in my family so I was able to see first hand how amazing her work is! About a week before I brought Goober home, I reached out to Alana simply for a size recommendation for a Ruffland kennel since her boys are a similar size and she was more than happy to help and immediately became Goober and I's biggest supporter. She gave me so many great tips on how to transition Goober into a home after living in a shelter and always made time to talk with me and help me through the struggles we were having. The day I met Goober, I instantly fell in love with his sweet, spunky, full of life, and lots of love to give soul but knew that he desperately needed structure and the only person fit for the job was Alana. He had more energy than he knew what to do with. He didn't know how to make decisions for himself. When he felt anxious or needing attention, his go-to was to jump on me. He is a major velcro dog and as much as I love his love, that is a very unhealthy life for him to live and I needed him to learn that he is capable of living a life where he doesn't need to be in my lap every second of every day to be happy. Believe me, the thought of handing my dog over for 3 weeks was absolutely terrifying however, it was the best decision I could have ever made. Not only for Goober but for myself as well! Alana treated Goober as if he were her own. She not only taught Goober how to live a calmer life but, also taught me how to help Goober. During our midway session, she spent an hour going over everything she had been working on with Goober and explained it in a way that anyone could understand and then spent an additional hour where I was handling Goober and she was there to jump in and help whenever necessary. Then, at our going home session, she spent another two hours with us, making sure I understood everything that she had worked on and made sure that I was comfortable with everything she had just taught me before we went home. Alana communicated with me throughout the entire process and has continued to followup and help in any way that she can even now that Goober has been back home with me for a couple weeks. Alana is one of the most genuine people that I know. She is so patient, listens without judgement and is always rooting for you and your dog! She has set Goober and I up with the foundation we needed to build a healthy relationship with each other. I cannot recommend Alana enough!!! She is truly family and I am forever grateful for her!

I wanted a dog that would fit into my weekend lifestyle of hiking, going to the beach, and visiting my dad in his assisted living facility ,so, I got my first dog, Sammi, a 18month old,black English lab. Not long after,I soon became frustrated with the constant struggle of trying to get her to listen, not running off as soon as I turned my back, and the embarrassing moment that she jumped up on one of the elderly residents at my dad's living facility, was when I knew I had to do something. Also, I have a few acres at my house, but no fence, so keeping her on a leash all the time to do her business was wearing on me. Soon after that I learned about Alana, through my sister, who has many dogs and one that is E-collar trained. I contacted Alana and she was certain that she could help Sammi's over excitement and anxiousness. I was hesitant about spending the money, but thought of it as a investment for at least the next 10 years, stress relief for me, and Sammi ! I dropped Sammi off, then went back to work with her about 10 days in. I could see the change then,same sweet Sammi, but much more calm balanced energy. As someone who studies personal development,it really resonated with me how Alana works on the dog's mindset, and how that translates to a better well-balanced dog. So now it is a few weeks after I have picked Sammi up, and let me tell you, the training has transformed our relationship ! Sammi will now not jump up on anyone, walks in a "heal" position right next to me,with or without a leash, with stay within 25 feet of me in my yard, always looking back to see where I'm at. And whatever we are doing, see is always checking in with me to look for direction on what to do next. The biggest thing also, is that when I take her to my Dad's facility now, she will walk up calmly to the residents, sit in front of them, and look up to me for the next direction. It puts a smile on there face and is so worth it! Alana is so professional and passionate with what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
