Rochester Canine Academy

Allison is wonderful to work with and so good with dogs. She has been able to explain not only how she trains dogs but also why it works so well. She is so kind yet firm with her canine clients. She is worth every penny she charges for her training, experience and training resources.

Allison began work with us when we were at our wits end with our sweet but uncivilized Havanese puppy! Thanks to Allison’s superior training we learned how to speak dog! No words to express our great appreciation for her patience and skills!

As a first-time dog owner I needed all the help I could get. Alisson and Rochester Canine Academy came highly recommended. Alisson trained my very smart standard poodle and more importantly, she trained me. Otis and I used to go for “drags” (walks) and after an hour or so with Alisson, he now walks by my side, sits when we stop and obeys commands. Alisson has given me lots of ideas on how to keep his brain engaged. I have recommended RCA many times, and those who took my advice have been very happy with the amazing results. Alisson is the dog whisperer.

Alison was amazing!! Training has been a roller coaster of a time in the past. Working Alison made us feel confident with correcting our dog’s unwanted behaviors. We have seen a dramatic change in our dog’s demeanor and we couldn’t be happier. We 100% recommend Alison!

Allison worked a miracle with my Yogi. He’s got a good boy soul, but he was a very anxious pup, and had a hard time with barking and separation anxiety after I moved apartments. He would bark and misbehave whenever I went anywhere with him, and if I left him at home he would bark in his crate. We used to go everywhere together and it was really hard to not be able to bring him places. Allison took him on very short notice while I was unwell and in the time he stayed with her he learned to socialize more appropriately and came back with the good boy soul unlocked again. She helped him to conquer his anxiety and he’s doing better than ever. He goes everywhere with me again and doesn’t act out or misbehave, and he’s so much happier being able to go on adventures with me again, and I’m so much
