Dean's List K9 Training LLC

We had an awesome time training our puppy with Alena that we ended up paying for advanced obedience lessons. Ford learned heel, place, loose leash walking, auto sit/down, how to hold a down stay and so much more. We also ended up putting ford into a daycare with trainer Emily who helped work with ford on overcoming his fear of other dogs. Ford now acts neutral around dogs, doesn’t hide between our legs or try and jump up us. He will play with dogs here and there now as well. We do daycare for him twice a week with Emily on top of our weekly training sessions with Alena. We saw so many improvements with ford. He now acts like a whole new dog. They both took their time working with ford and focusing on his needs and what could benefit him. It is truly amazing seeing a 8 week old puppy who wa

We have a new puppy from a rescue, a German short haired pointer and very lively. We knew that training would be necessary and the responsible thing to do for her and us. We are so excited to report she has graduated. Dean’s list k-9 training was excellent, the owner called me back right away and our dog was assessed quickly by Alena. She was so patient but very firm, the perfect balance for our lively dog. She was not only skilled at dog training, she was also so knowledgeable about dog care in general, she helped us with many decisions regarding our new puppy. You can’t beat the service from deans list, and there is no better trainer than Alena! We have a well behaved and very loved dog! Robin and Roger Gauthier

We had a wonderful time training with Alena!! We have a rescue pit/lab mix which has strong prey drive for squirrels and hadn’t had enough socialization with other dogs. She was always pulling as hard as she could to chase them. She didn’t react to any treats or our recall while walking outside. After training with Alena, she has stopped chasing squirrels and she started to look at us during walks even without calling her name!! She has learned many commands such as ‘heel’ and ‘place’ and is able to execute them perfectly! We really appreciate all of the hard work and care!

We had our 1 year old basset hound Ruthie work with Rachel on a 3 week board and train. Ruthie is a very excitable dog when it comes to meeting new people and she would jump and bark uncontrollably when people came into our home and was a leash puller on walks when people were around. After working with Rachel, Ruthie has learned how to manage her excitement and patience and she knows she needs to make good decisions like not barking/jumping if she wants all the good pets! Rachel has been great with communication and with any questions we have post board and train and continues to help with Ruthie's training if there's any areas we feel she needs more work on!

Signed up for obedience training after adopting a 6 year old beagle with unknown previous training. Had a great experience and my trainer Alena. She worked with us and altered how we should train our dog as it became evident early on that the dog had been previously trained and feared tones on an e-collar. She helped our dog with fence aggression towards the neighbors dogs as well as gave great advice when other issues arose. She was also responsive to text messages when I had questions outside training sessions. Very happy with everything we learned and did.
