Pet care experience
A human first dog care solution that empowers owners with the tools and structure to succeed with their four legged best friends. My goal is to help you live the life of your dreams with your dog while coaching you through personalized lifestyle adjustments, improved communication, structure and boundaries for your unique relationship. I serve Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Whether you’ve added a brand new puppy to your home or you’re struggling with a rescue pup with baggage, I’ve got your back! Through the process of rehabilitating my own highly anxious and human aggressive heart dog Tino myself, I discovered a passion for helping other struggling dog owners unlock and improve their canine relationships by teaching them a common language that over time results in maximum inclusion. The real magic for me comes from supporting and empowering humans to do the deep dive personal work necessary to uncover the blocks that are so closely reflected in their relationships with their dogs.
Reviews
Ali’s no nonsense, intuitive, and knowledgeable training and pack blending expertise has helped me take my formerly reactive lab to social places I never before thought possible! By using a blend of balanced techniques, she was able to gently and gracefully nudge me and the dog out of our old “comfort zones” to reach new successes, and we just keep getting better. And, the benefits to my 3 dog pack as a whole, plus the personal growth I’ve gained in the process is just icing on the cake!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and a separate room just for the dogs. I provide a lot of structure and ensure that dogs are paired for socialization with dogs who are a good match! Down time and rest is just as important to us as play so that your dog returns home feeling fulfilled, calm and content!

Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs before I meet them! For boarding, I require that your dog is crate trained before their overnight stay. I have experience with working with all breeds and various behavior issues. If your dog is sensitive, shy, reactive or anxious, I will accommodate them by working slowly with them to build a safe and stable connection with a foundation of trust.
A typical day
What is most important to me is that your dog is learning and practicing calm and respectful behaviors so they can enjoy lots of freedom in the world! When I am walking them, I will prioritize a follower state of mind so they come home drained and ready for a good nap!
