I had the pleasure of working with Alison at Progress4Paws, and I cannot recommend her dog training services highly enough! From the very first session, it was clear that Alison truly cared about me and my dog. Her approach is patient, positive, and incredibly effective. The training techniques she recommended and utilized were not only easy to follow but also tailored specifically to my dog's personality and needs. My dog, who is a little stubborn has made remarkable progress in just a few weeks. Alison took the time to explain the reasoning behind each exercise and provided ongoing support, which made me feel empowered as a pet parent. What really stood out was how kind and compassionate Alison is with dogs. My dog loved her! She created a calm and structured environment that fostered trust, and it’s evident in the way my dog has responded to the training. Whether you’re working on basic commands, behavioral issues, or something more advanced, this training program is a game-changer. It’s not just about teaching your dog; it’s about building a stronger, more positive relationship with your dog. If you're looking for a top-notch dog trainer, look no further—Alison with Progress4Paws is the real deal!

A Miracle Worker for Our Beloved Pups! Whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks clearly hasn’t met Alison! After our 10-year-old pup experienced a traumatic house fire, he was left with severe anxiety and reactivity issues. We were feeling hopeless, but then we found Alison, and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. Alison employs a positive reinforcement approach, always prioritizing the well-being of the dogs in her care. Her gentle yet effective methods have transformed our anxious pup into a calmer, more confident companion. It’s been an absolute joy to witness his progress as he learns to navigate the world around him with newfound ease. We also have a younger pup who has benefited tremendously from Alison’s training. Her consistent guidance has instilled a sense of control and discipline that has made a world of difference for both of our dogs. If you're looking for a dog trainer who truly understands and cares for dogs, look no further than Alison. She is a true miracle worker, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our furry family members. Thank you, Alison!

Alison is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, prepared, and skilled at what she does. She gave me the tools that I needed to feel confident to care for my two girls (pitties). I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone needed dog training or assistance.

We had the pleasure of hiring Progress 4 Paws for six sessions. Our not so little guy blossomed into a more confident dog and we have started to see our senior dog pick up on our lessons too. Alison is a professional, highly educated and compassionate trainer whom you can tell has our dog’s best interest in mind during every interaction. Our puppy is more on the nervous side and while he will take time to fully learn the tremendous knowledge Alison imparted on him, we know we now have the tools to allow him to grow into the best dog he can be. We highly recommend Progress 4 Paws for anyone at any stage of pet parenting. THANK YOU ALISON!

Allison at Progress 4 Paws is the real deal when it comes to dog training, she has been able to successfully train our beagles which I originally thought was impossible. We are primarily training our 2 year old female beagle; from basic manners, to more advanced safety commands like "wait", to tricks like "shake" and "spin". She's even accomplished to teach our senior beagles to sit and stay, which proves you can teach an old dog new tricks. Allison is very positive, warm, and friendly, she will be very gentle and patient with your dog until they get it. While this is training for your dog, it's also training for the owner, making sure we feel comfortable and knowledgeable on carrying out commands with our dogs. Allison is even gentle on us humans, when we may be hard on ourselves. Allison understands and recognizes each dog breed is different and will train specifically to your dog's breed. She knows beagles are more food driven than anything else, where another dog might live for toys, balls, or praise. She comes to our home to make the dog feel comfortable and it makes it easier on us to learn, because there are less distractions in our own home. She gives us the knowledge and tools we need to practice outside our home and when she is not there. Our 2yo beagle knows, sit, down, stay, spin, and wait after three sessions. I would highly recommend Allison at Progress 4 Paws.

Bella and I look forward to every one of our training sessions. Thank you so much for everything you have taught us so far! We appreciate you listening to our concerns and celebrating all of our successes. If we could give you more stars we would. 🐶🐾

Alison was great! She helped train my puppy, teaching, not only her, but me so much. It was a great experience because she would arrive at my place & help train my puppy so that, my pup, was even more comfortable within her natural surroundings. This is my first puppy & I was very inexperienced and by working with her, I have learned how to build a strong & fun relationship with my pup! I definitely recommend Alison & Progress 4 Paws

Allison at Progress 4 Paws is an incredible trainer. She is so knowledgeable and kind. She provided such helpful information regarding training our Golden Retriever puppy. Each visit with her left us with incredible nuggets of information which she even wrote down so we could review again later. We are so much better off having Allison help train our puppy. There is a big difference in our puppy compared to when we started with Allison. You can’t go wrong with Progress 4 Paws!

Finally circling back to post a review. Allison is amazing - worked with our rescue pup and was great!!! She has such a positive, knowledgable presence when working with the dogs and the humans. She was prepared every time with a plan geared toward our dog and then at the end of every session she reviewed progress and gave us things to work on. Each time she left us with detailed notes and tips. Our dog absolutely loved her and responded so well. Since relocating we even had a video session where are dog recognized her voice instantly and was so happy.
