Olde Towne School For Dogs

I love OTSD all the members are so lovely and kind and really love your dog. After one week we could see the positive change from our puppy Jonah (Yorkie + Havanese Mix). They are pricey but we 100% recommend. Jonah absolutely love his trainer Chris! Chris is very patient with Jonah and does a great job of keeping us in the loop and training us to keep up with Jonah’s new skills !

Look no further than the historic Olde Towne School for Dogs for all of your fur-baby needs. While we have long been committed clients of their incredible grooming and customer service teams, we recently had the distinct privilege of working with the phenomenal Aliyah for obedience sessions with our 4-year-old Mini Schnauzer — and it was nothing short of transformative. Aaliyah’s depth of knowledge, warm professionalism, and attentive, tailored approach clearly reflect someone who is passionate about her craft. Her coaching style not only connected with our dog — it empowered us as pet parents with practical techniques, confidence and clarity. Ask anyone at a local dog park in Alexandria and you’ll hear the same theme repeatedly: Olde Towne School for Dogs isn’t just a service… it’s a co

THESE FOLKS ARE FANTASTIC! First, as trainers, they are great! They successfully transformed our dogs. We recently completed the 3-week training camp program for our two current, large Labradors, who are the second pair of ours to go through an OTSD program. In both cases, after completing OTSD training, our unruly friends learned to respond (with very, very little correction now needed) to heel, sit, stay and down commands. While it was once a challenge to walk them (in fear of encountering other dogs), after their training they are both a joy and pleasure to walk. Now as people, OTSD folks are also EXCEPTIONAL! I recently found myself in an emergency situation in the neighborhood, and the manager went out of her way to be extraordinarily and generously helpful!! We can’t say enou

Highly recommend!!!! Ozzy and I completed both the basic training and off leash training (private lessons) with Aliyah. It has been a pleasure working with her; she has taught us so much!! It’s crazy when I see my dog playing with a group of pups and when recalled, here he happily comes!! I feel so confident walking him off leash knowing he’ll come back/ heel/ or down stay when needed! Thank you Aliyah!!!!!

We worked with Saúl through puppy training, general obedience and off leash training with our golden and could not be happier. Saúl was extremely good teacher for us and our dog, was super flexible in scheduling training sessions and helped us form a tight bond with our dog. 10/10 would recommend.
