one on one coaching
Would you like to join a group class but your dog just quite isn’t ready for that big of a step yet? Or maybe you just learn better in a private setting? One on one coaching might be the right fit for you.
agility
Let’s Play! Agility is my absolute favorite dog sport! It is both physically and mentally challenging for the dog and the handler. It’s a great way to strengthen your relationship, provide quality enrichment and exercise to your dog’s daily life, and it’s just down right FUN!
barn hunt
Looking for a fun new way to interact with your dog? Come try barn hunt! This sport allows your dog to exercise their instinctual prey drive in a safe and humane way. Plus it provides in incredible source of mental stimulation.

“Alanna is absolutely wonderful to work with. She helped us with our German shepherd puppy! He went from dragging me all over the place to enjoying walks around Battle Point. Not only does Alanna help teach your dog but she also teaches you how to best communicate and work with them.”

Frankie and Charlie
“The boys and I always learn a lot in our sessions with Alanna and we have so much fun! What started as a desire to work on a few things has developed into building a toolbox of skills for deepening my relationship with my dogs. Alanna is so well versed, perceptive, kind and encouraging. Everything you would want in an excellent teacher!”

Zoey
“Alanna is such a gift. We rescued a super sweet but very high drive 8 week old puppy and were so overwhelmed. Alanna's utilization of shaping and positive reinforcement showed us how to work WITH Zoe to achieve results rather than fighting against her natural instincts. With Alanna’s help we have gone from frenetic and out of control to calm and an absolute joy.”
