Hey There!
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) and I currently train bitework sports with him! I then started my business at the end of 2023 and here we are!
If your goal is to have a well-mannered, adventure dog that can frolic off-leash, frequent a farmer’s market or brewery and also chillax at home… I’m your girl ✿
My pack:
Leroy the Chocolate Lab
Griff the Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois
Maeve the Catahoula Leopard Dog
Yeti the adventure cat
I’m very caring, 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
I am not interested in behavior modification dog training (resource guarding, severe separation anxiety, aggression, etc.) but I know several great local trainers that I will highly recommend and refer you to if you are dealing with serious or dangerous behaviors.

○Full day adventures (like hiking, mountain biking, paddleboarding etc.)

+ a sprinkle of dog nutrition guidance
