Customer Reviews
Saundra have been a life saver for our dog and his separation anxiety! She is professional, very knowledgeable and encouraging! She provided us with a free discovery call to find out our needs and gave us endless hands on support to help us read our dogs behaviour before helping us to navigate separation anxiety training on our own. Our dog who is still in training used to panic at the sight of of walking towards our door now can be left alone for over an hour with ease. We are thrilled with the drastic changes we have seen and can say that the consistency and hard work is paying off! Saundra is incredible at her job and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone facing similar struggles! Thank you Saundra!
Saundra is an amazing trainer! She helped our puppy get over her anxiety of being left alone in the house. When we signed up, she would howl and chew anything she could find. After 4 weeks of training, we can confidently leave her alone in the house while she is relaxed. I highly recommend Alpine Dogs.

We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
