Bringing Toby home to work with me as a therapy dog in an elementary school was exciting—but also overwhelming. I’ve always loved dogs, but I had zero experience as a handler, and the learning curve was steep. Aly and the Insider Community made all the difference. I ask a lot of questions, and they met me with constant encouragement, wisdom, and practical advice — never once making me feel like a burden. When our family faced an unexpected tragedy shortly after Toby came home, they showed up with compassion, support, and genuine care—helping us navigate a very hard season. Toby is thriving, I’m growing, and we’re becoming a strong team—thanks to Aly’s Insider Community. We’re forever grateful.

Thanks a bunch, Aly and Wendi, for your Aly’s Insider Community, especially the live sessions on Thursdays! I’ve been a long-time member and participant, and it’s been a great resource for me, especially before Toby arrived. Now that he’s here, it’s awesome to be able to email questions and get quick responses. Plus, reading through other pup parents’ questions and answers is super helpful. Thursdays Live is something I really look forward to because it’s great to see and hear others dealing with dog issues and learn how to solve them. It’s so much easier than trying to figure it out on your own!

Matt Kehoe

I find Aly’s Insider Community to be a great place to get both help and tools for my new puppy. It’s very easy to make a post and within a short period of time, get feedback on all of the questions or challenges that are going on in Mila‘s life. I love having a community resource, it’s so much better than turning to random Internet sources that only have confusing misinformation. Plus I get support and perspective from both fellow dog owners who have been in my shoes (or are currently in my shoes with new dogs) and Aly!

Soli Zetley

With a 3-year-old dog Koji and a 9-month-old puppy Yuki, Aly’s Insider Community has been an invaluable source of knowledge and support, our own “distance learning dog college.” The website is user-friendly, and we’ve learned everything from preventing dog-to-dog tension on walks to handling shy dogs around strangers. It’s a fantastic place to get help no matter where you live.
We never miss the weekly LIVE sessions, where Aly and her trainers address real pet parent questions and even offer live demonstrations. Connecting with others facing similar challenges is both reassuring and helpful. Aly’s Insider Community has been essential to our journey, making training both effective and fun!
