Behavior & Training

• Fear Free • Pain Free • Force Free •

As a certified behavior consultant with 15 years of experience, I can assist with a variety of behaviors from manners and problem behaviors including aggression. I specialize in dog behavior but have experience with many species.

I believe in addressing all the factors that influence behavior including learning, environment, enrichment, nutrition, and the physical and mental health of the animal. Training takes time and effort, but it should also be fun and rewarding for the humans and the pets who share their lives!

Service Areas

My service area includes a 60 mile radius of zip code 49224 in Michigan, including Jackson, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Adrian, and Hillsdale. I also offer virtual services for clients in any area.

Testimonials

Hear what my clients have to say about working with me!

When our puppy, R2, started expressing some fear and anxiety we worked with several trainers until we found Alisha who is by and large the best trainer we could have asked for. She is extremely knowledgeable and has an amazing talent for understanding how pets think. With no shortage of creative, out-of-the-box ideas, Alisha was able to help us quickly see progress and was never hesitant to offer education so that we could better understand our pet's behavior and unique needs. Her compassionate approach made us and R2 feel safe and confident and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to work with her.

Brittany B. & R2D2

Alisha has both trained and boarded our 120 pound Great Pyreneese. She is equally knowledgeable, professional and very helpful explaining why dogs behave as they do and how to correct them without breaking the trust between owner and dog. She is also very patient with both the dog as well as the owner, the later often needs more patience that the former! We would highly recommend working with her!

Talita S. & Cooper

I highly recommend Alisha as a dog trainer. Her genuine care for both dogs and their owners is evident from the start. She took the time to understand our unique challenges and tailored a training plan to suit our needs perfectly. Alisha's flexibility and willingness to adjust her methods as we progressed made a significant difference. Her positive reinforcement techniques and step-by-step guidance quickly helped our dog learn new behaviors and strengthened our bond. Alisha's patience, dedication, and passion for dog training shine through in everything she does.
