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) 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 ✿
