Hey There!

Three dogs sitting on a moss-covered log in a green forest.

I’m Alexis, your local dog nerd-o

I’ve been working hands-on with dogs since 2009 but I “officially” started my dog training journey in 2022. I’ve worked in dog daycares, boarding facilities, ma and pop pet stores so dog training and wellness comes VERY NATURAL to me. I gained working experience training dogs by shadowing under a bitework/sport dog trainer from 2021-2023. I got my first powerhouse “Ferrari” of a working dog in 2022 (Griff, my Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois)! I then started my business at the end of 2023 and here we are!

Our pack:

Leroy the Chocolate Lab

Griff the Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois

Maeve the Catahoula Leopard Dog

Yeti the adventure cat

I’m super duper adventurous + try to lead a low-toxic lifestyle. In my free-time I enjoy hiking, paddleboarding, cooking, playing video games, attending music festivals and going on adventures in my Jeep with my hubby!!!

Passionate about:

○ Dog Behavior

○ Dog Nutrition

○ Preventive + Holistic Pet Care

○ Wellness + Longevity

○ Amateur Dog Photography

LET'S START TRAINING!!!
