Success stories that shine
Peggy Orenstein
One of Aly’s strengths is that she is great with the human part of the human-dog partnership. As a wife and mother herself she knows a dog needs to integrate into a family’s life, not the reverse. Her training philosophy encourages training your dog while living your ordinary life rather than making your life all about your dog. Her book exemplifies her entire approach in an easy to understand and personable way. A dog will be in your life for a long, long time. It’s a worthy investment of time

My friends and I agree, I guarantee you if you go through this program or even buy Alys book and leash you will get amazing results. I just bought both for my husky Shepard mix and it’s the best leash I’ve ever bought. Better than any springer collar or leash I’ve had. And Aly’s book has the foundation you need.
