Hi, I’m Alix!
I help pet parents transform their barky, lungey dog into an easy, fun adventure dog using a functional approach rooted in rewards-based and ethical training methods that prioritize the dog’s mental and physical wellbeing.
Does your dog pull, growl, bark, and lunge on leash whenever he sees another dog, bicycle, or maybe even person? Do you feel worried every time you step outside into the world with your dog, even though the whole reason you got a dog was so he could be with you? Do you wish walks were easier, less stressful, and fun?
As a coach for both you and your dog, I use rewards-based methods to change your dog’s underlying emotional response to make him feel more comfortable and secure in the world. Once we do that, you and your dog can start living an active, adventurous, and better life together! Walks become fun and enjoyable again!

Alix and Buster
Wanna know something you and I have in common? I own a reactive dog. Even though I got Buster as a puppy and did everything “right” and “by the book,” he became incredibly reactive after an incident with another dog. At his worst, he even had behaviorally induced seizures, like Rage Syndrome. This, of course, was devastating. Like you, one of the reasons I got a dog was to have an adventure buddy by my side! At first, I felt defeated, anxious, and overwhelmed, but it’s true – most dog trainers become dog trainers specifically because of a “difficult” dog that has come into their life. That was the case for me and Buster. I shifted my mindset, found my passion and interest in learning about canine behavior and cognition, and entered the world of professional dog training. Today, Buster and I have overcome all of our challenges, and we now hike and travel easily with no worries or problems!
