It is our goal & mission to enable our clients to 
be able to do the same for their dogs and become 
the BEST dog owner that they can be.


Aly is a certified dog trainer that loves people as much as their pooches and teaches the necessary skills for them both to enjoy 
a balanced life with each other. Aly’s approach is rooted in relationship, not commands alone. Aly trains humans, other dog professionals & trainers, and multiple dogs as she lives her daily life which is complete with a bit of chaos and a lot of love.


General Manager  and Head Dog Trainer. Wendie is a dog magnet! Dogs are simply drawn to her. She has a special sense for seeing a dog’s true personality and knows how to bring out their potential! Wendie’s talents grow every dog in the best of ways! THE DOGS are the reason why we do what we do! Our personal dogs share each and every day with our dogs in training, helping them to learn what a calm and balanced state of mind looks and feels like.


I am a true dog lover and so excited to be an assistant trainer at Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp! I love discovering each unique dog’s preferences and how they learn best, and find fun and engaging ways to interact with them, all while teaching valuable skills that enable them to live a wonderful life with their humans. I find so much joy in contributing to the enrichment and betterment of dogs’ lives.

I’m Alyson Rodges, and I like to call myself the average
person’s Dr. Doolittle. My friends and family on the other hand, like to call me the energizer bunny because I have lived life on full throttle since I was a kid. I am a wife, mother, sister, friend, blogger, writer, national competitor in the National Reined Cow Horse Association, and Doodle Whisperer!

My faith, my family and my friends have always 
sustained me through my ventures. And I have had 
many successful ones…

I opened up 8 frozen yogurt stores with my sister before retiring from that industry in 1999.

I sold Mary Kay Cosmetics while in college and
won the use of a Team Leader car!

I started training kids on how to ride horses in my 
mid-30s and then resumed in my mid-40’s!. 

I was a multi-time qualifier to the NRCHA World Championship show when I started showing my Paint 
Horse, Repeat Plan.

It was after retiring from the frozen yogurt industry that I decided I was ready for my very own puppy!

That is when my first Labradoodle, Izzie, came into my life, 
and a new passion–Loving Doodles–was born. (Our Doodle family has grown through the years!)

I became the go-to person for all of my family and friends 
who needed someone to ‘baby-sit’ their dogs. What began as a hobby of helping friends and family with 
their dogs quickly turned into a full-time business for me. Fast forward to 2012 when Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp® premiered. Like every passion of mine, I hit the ground running, and haven’t 
looked back.

Don’t worry, doodles aren’t our only specialty. At Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp, we train every age and breed of dog.

My training philosophy is simply that we train our dogs while we 
are living our everyday life.

Pooches become part of our extended family and live a life 
exposed to kids, family of all ages, animals, distractions, schedules, friends, errands, noises, smells, and so many 
other things. That is why, at Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp, our pooches are exposed to a multitude of experiences that teach them how to cope with 
reality in a calm state of mind.

We literally ‘party proof’ our pooches!
