“My little rescue Maurice can be a handful… I was worried he'd never stop trying to bite my friends. But then I met Alexis! She helped me turn my little guy around… Maurice is now much calmer around new people… I can't wait to continue seeing what my little guy can do with Alexis's help and compassion.”
- Michelle & Maurice
“Zen Dog Training has been a godsend to us… he no longer barks at bikes or children and is becoming calmer and more comfortable with his new life every day… I highly recommend Zen Dog Training and Alexis for anyone who has a pet in need of help!”
- Cindy, Dan & Georgie
Alexis is AMAZING!!!! My American Bulldog, Midas has separation anxiety… Alexis came in, formed an immediate bond with him and got him back on track… She has great resources and shares information openly. I highly recommend her!
