Dog Savvy Los Angeles, led by Alexandra, offers positive, game-based dog training that focuses on building confidence and trust through play and choice. Dogs are viewed as intelligent and complex creatures, and this perspective shapes the training approach. Alexandra's methods have been successful with dogs of all ages and backgrounds, including puppies and rescue dogs, particularly those facing behavioral challenges like fear, reactivity, and separation anxiety. Clients have reported significant improvements in their dogs' obedience, social skills, and overall well-being. For instance, one client noted that their reactive chihuahua mix now walks more easily, and another dog has become more confident and better behaved since starting training. Alexandra provides both in-person and virtual training sessions, tailoring her approach to each individual dog and owner. Many clients have expressed satisfaction with the virtual training, noting that it feels just as effective as in-person sessions. Known for her patience, compassion, and thorough understanding of canine behavior, Alexandra has been a wonderful source of information on various topics, from product recommendations to behavior management. Dog Savvy Los Angeles is highly recommended for anyone seeking a positive and effective way to train their dog, with many clients highlighting the gratifying and enjoyable nature of the training program and expressing excitement for continued learning.
We have two chihuahua mix rescues who have both benefited greatly from their training with Alexandra. One of our dogs was reactive, and its now much easier to bring him on walks as well as have visitors to our home. The other was quite skittish which made training on our own tricky. Alexandra really helped us navigate his needs and build up his confidence. Both of our dogs are more confident and much better citizens since they started training. Also, while we originally did training in person and weren't quite sure how well virtual training would go, Alexandra navigates Zoom training remarkably and we don't feel like we're losing anything from not having in-person sessions.
As new puppy parents, my wife and I began our dog journey in a relatively lost and confused state. The internet was a miasma of conflicting information on the dos and do nots of raising your first dog and finding Alex from Dog Savvy was like finding an oasis after walking aimlessly in the desert.
She's been a wonderful source of information on a plethora of topics from product recommendations to behavior management and gave us the needed confidence and direction to navigate the various demands of puppy parenting. From dealing with a teething pup to managing separation anxiety, her insights have been extremely helpful. Her training program has been deeply gratifying...read full review
I found Alexandra when I was looking for a trainer to help me with some training tools and my dog’s incessant biting. I am so grateful to have found her! We did a virtual session which was honestly amazing. She walked me through each step of each training tool and it was great. Because of how the sessions work I know that I am doing the training task correctly since she tells me how to do it, watches me, and makes any needed corrections. I loved the virtual appointment and plan on doing more with her!
