Brigit_______________________________________________________________________________________________
"Getting our family used to having a dog was an adjustment. We were
ready to love her but we weren't really prepared to make our house dog-safe
for a hungry chewer, to make her feel secure enough to accept strangers or
to walk with her instead of having her drag us.
Alix helped with all these things and more in a gentle, clear and firm way. She involved our children in the adventure of becoming a dog family. We are all on our way now. Thanks Alix for all your help." Sam Newton and Lori Wolfe - owners

happy dog!"

"Our initial worries were soon laid to rest when we realized that Auntie
Al's Dog Training would not create a robot-type sort of dog. Instead
we are on a daily journey with Alix's superb guidance in becoming our dog's
Best Friend.
Meela, our 8 months old collie pup, is amazing us more and more how delighted and proud she is in being an obedient, socialized canine. Alix, thank you ever so much." Karin & Gunter Faltin - owners

techniques to become responsible dog people. It's like night
and day; we all bloomed under Alix's tutelage."

world; barking and nipping and completely unsocialized."

his body language and we are both happier and more comfortable than ever."

"Sidney and I have had the best experience in dog training we have ever
had. With my wonderful little Lhasa x and a BIG attitude, Alix has
given me the best tools to turn my boy into a totally different and
wonderful dog."
"Her techniques are the best; easy to follow and Alix has a way of
allowing you to understand what is being said and to apply the
techniques correctly. She has incredible patience and a knowledge
of dog behavior that I am so impressed by."
Sid Sid says "rrrrrruff rrrrrruff, pant pant pant pant, rrrrrr, woof woof -- xxxxxx" Sandi Nielsen - owner
"Alix's obvious love of dogs and what she does is expressed at each training
session. I recommend her with 100% certainty and wish that everyone
would take advantage of her abilities to change you and your dogs world!"

"Alix has given me the tools to deal with Teya who's very reactive, well
"explosive" is a more accurate description. For the first time
ever I am encouraged - I see hope."
"It got to the point where I didn't want to walk Teya. I would get so upset every time she'd lunge and snarl at other dogs. I realize we have a long way to go but with every session I see improvement."
Cynda Lee - owner
"Alix is never condescending, never critical or judgmental.
She explains doggy communication in no-nonsense easy to understand and
practical terms. She is a wealth of information and I am inspired
by her calm, gentle demeanor."

needed and she showed me how to be a well-balanced dog owner. Mocha
and I have learned so much and will forever appreciate her help."
Jenny Lau - owner ________________________________________________________________
"She patiently worked on these traits to bring out previously unseen,
more likeable elements of his personality. We would recommend Alix
to other people with problem dogs."
Hugh Anderson - owner "Prior to training with Alix, Jamie was a very 'hyper' energetic and sometimes aggressive dog. She helped us to understand the psychology behind this behavior."
