Success stories that shine
Susan Fife
It’s been one week since we brought Charley home from Puppy Boot Camp, and I couldn’t be happier with his progress! Before training, he nipped, pulled, peed when meeting new people, and couldn’t be left alone without constant supervision. Now, he walks calmly at my side, settles easily when crated, plays appropriately, and hasn’t had a single accident in the house. Thanks to you, your team, and your amazing dogs, Charley is respectful, polite, and so much easier to live with. I’m more confident in my role as a calm, assertive leader—because of your positive and continued guidance.

Time flies when you’re having fun! It is hard to believe Cammie has been a New Yorker for 3 months! I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the ball of fluff, joy and love that is Cammie. Your training changed our lives!! These days Cammie and Paul walk and explore together, meet people and dogs, watch sports together, and nap together. She is so adorable and funny and sweet and just all around makes life better. I am attaching a couple of photos, one of Cammie meeting a new friend on a Hudson River pier and also Cammie’s first trip to Massachusetts.

The Benner’s want to say, thank you for the miracle you have bestowed upon us with the training of our Calley. We were at our wits end with our 5 month-old pup who is really too cute for her own good. After spending two weeks at Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp, Calley is the perfect puppy. Of course all the knowledge that was passed down from the group makes us look good as we now know how to handle our dog. She is respectful of humans and dogs alike! We praise your hard work and will recommend you to all humans who want an amazing pup! SO, thank you Aly, and all the others

Aly and all her staff are wonderful!! I first took my dog Fenway for a 2 week boot camp training with e-collar a year and a half ago. He was a different dog when we picked him up! His recall is now great! We recently took him back for a one week touch up training while we went on vacation. He now even better with his place command and over all socialization with other dogs.

I want to tell you about a particular moment I had with Wendie. She displayed an incredible balance of sincere emotion & disciplined professionalism that left me in utter awe. I am so aware of how connected you must have become with this precious dog. I have no doubt you’re connected to all the dogs you train.
Shannon Newsom
Their intuition and training experience is without parallel. It is worth the investment! There are so many things I could say but I will close by saying that Aly and team are AMAZING and highly recommended, five-star plus, plus, plus, plus!

Once a dog truly understands the joy and responsibility of off-leash freedom, everything changes.
They begin to realize:
“I can explore, sniff, be a dog, and still check back in when called? You got it!”
It’s a game-changer—for both you and your pup—and lays the groundwork for a lifetime of trust, freedom, and connection.

Through thoughtful exposure to people, dogs, and even farm animals like goats, chickens, horses, and cats, your pup learns how to navigate the world with balance and self-control.
Here at APBC, socialization isn’t just about play—it’s about purpose. Not all interactions are helpful, especially for dogs who’ve experienced trauma or behavioral challenges. That’s why we create intentional, healing experiences to help dogs grow and gain confidence every day.
The time, energy, and heart you invest now lays the groundwork for a lifetime of success—because with a little luck, you’ve got 16+ amazing years ahead with your pup.

Purpose-Driven Pack Walks: $25.00 per walk.
Inspired by my mentor Marc Goldberg—who wisely says, “A good pack walk with me fixes just about everything, except when it doesn’t, but it usually does!”—I couldn’t agree more.
I believe in the transformative power of the pack walk. It’s more than just movement—it’s connection, communication, and calm leadership in action. These walks build stronger bonds between dogs and their humans while addressing a wide range of behavioral challenges.

FAQ
How old does my dog need to be and what breeds to you work with?
I specialize in training dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. In the world of dog training, I’ve become known as a specialist in puppies and all things related to “Doodles,” earning the affectionate title of the Doodle Whisperer. Puppies are welcome to start my boot camps from as young as 8 weeks up to one year old, while older dogs can join at any age. It’s never too late to instill a positive mindset in your dog! My passion for training puppies stems from the belief that getting it right during this crucial developmental stage sets the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior. The optimal window for effective and healthy socialization is when they are between 8-16 weeks old. This period is pivotal as puppies are incredibly receptive, ready to absorb positive behaviors, and conversely, can start developing less desirable habits.
At Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp, we focus on encouraging your pup to both play and work, nurturing their willingness and ability to respond to you. Older dogs also find immense value in my boot camp programs, gaining from the beneficial socialization that is a cornerstone of our approach. This kind of socialization is vital for a dog’s mental health, teaching them how to interact with other dogs in a manner that is safe, sane, and civilized.
As for older dogs in our boot camps, we tailor the training to expand their skill sets as they are ready. In addition to the basic boot camp training, we can introduce impulse control, off-lead work, basic agility, down/stay, and recall training, all depending on the dog’s readiness and progress.
Are there any additional costs?
In addition to your training program costs there will be a few additional charges: grooming (55-75), Vet visits (receipts provided), training tools that you take home with you (40-170), days beyond your program (135.00 per day/Holidays add 25.00).
What if my puppy can’t start training at 8-weeks-old?
For those who are unable to bring their puppies to me immediately, either due to my schedule being fully booked or because their pup needs to wait until they are 16 weeks old, I offer FREE access to my comprehensive online course, the Pillars of Pack Leadership Academy. This invaluable resource is designed to help you start off on the right paw. It covers everything a new puppy owner needs to know, including potty training, our Schedule for Success, 10 Rules to Live By, crate training, and more.
My Academy, normally retailing at $497.00, is an extensive video-based course. Once your deposit is paid and your booking is reserved, you will be granted access. This will ensure you are fully prepared with our recommended list of supplies, guiding you from A to Z in puppy preparation. Then, when your pup arrives at 16 weeks old, they will already have a solid foundation thanks to the groundwork you’ve put in with the Academy.
Additionally, as part of our ongoing support, you’ll have access to Aly and her expert training team LIVE every week in our private group. This allows you to ask questions and receive live demonstrations on issues you’re encountering, ensuring you and your pup have all the support you need for a successful training journey.
What do I need to provide for my beloved for his training program?
2) For puppies, I rotate Nutrisource brand Puppy Food or American Journey. For adult dogs, I rotate Nutrisource Adult dog food or American Journey and for raw diets, we use Volhard’s Natural Diet Foundation 2 or Honest Kitchen. If you want some other kind of food, please provide enough for the duration of your pup’s stay.
3) For older dogs: Be sure to bring with you copies of all current vaccinations or Titer tests. We must have evidence of these vaccinations or current titer results in our file at the time of arrival. Also, for dogs one year old and under, your final parvo/distemper shot MUST HAVE BEEN GIVEN when your pup was 16-18 weeks old, as per guidelines by the American Veterinary Association of America.
4) Please provide any medications or supplements that your beloved may need.
What do I need to buy for my puppy?
I will give you a complete list of items that I recommend and use daily. You can even visit my DOG STORE to purchase any item you desire.
Does my puppy get its required shots and meet breeder’s wellness visit requirements?
All puppies under 16-weeks that come into my program go to my vet for a wellness visit, and a continuation of their shot series. Receipts will be provided.
Can you help me select my puppy or dog?
If you’re unable to join in person on your scheduled Puppy-Pick day, don’t worry – I also conduct evaluations through Zoom or Facetime. Additionally, I offer litter assessments for breeders. Please note that for any in-person visits, travel charges will be applied at a rate of $1.25 per mile.
What is your training philosophy?
My training philosophy is that we train our dogs as we are living our daily lives. My Pillars of Pack Leadership® methods break down these concepts into very manageable blocks of information and strategies that real people can implement into their real lives.
Can I come visit?
To ensure you stay engaged and connected, we provide daily updates through Facebook & Instagram Stories, featuring videos and pictures of your pup’s training journey. Alongside these visual updates, you’ll receive daily emails with foundational homework assignments. This way, you’re actively involved in your dog’s training process, even from a distance, becoming an integral part of their learning experience.
Moreover, your involvement culminates on our ‘Graduation Day.’ Attendance is a key part of our agreement – you’ll spend an afternoon with me, my training team, and your dog. During this session, we’ll work together with our pack to develop a tailored ‘Schedule for Success’ for your dog, complete with detailed transition protocols. These will be included in your comprehensive ‘GO HOME’ folder.
This session is an excellent opportunity for you to practice your ‘Pillars of Pack Leadership®’ skills under our guidance. We can even record you working with your dog alongside us, providing a valuable visual reference for you to use at home. However, it’s not necessary for you to visit during the training program; you’ll remain closely connected to your pup’s progress through the homework we provide in both visual and written formats.
