Professional K9 Trainer
Pet care experience
Dogs are my passion! I grew up with a fawn Great Dane and a Golden Retriever. After getting my own dog at 22 years old, I quickly left the hairdressing business and began to work under a wonderful dog trainer. Went on to work at dog daycares, transporting dogs for daycare, managing etc. I went back in the hairdressing industry while continuing to gain knowledge and experience in the K9 world. I started with Rover in 2016 and I continued to service my hair clients from home and it was surprising to meet such great dogs and owners from Rover. So many that I was able to quit the hair industry for good and had an amazing almost 4 years with Rover. I have recently started back up with Rover after a few years of training dogs for Invisible Fence. Since starting in the K9 industry 25 years ago, I have had a Corgi/Jack Russell mix, 2 Pit/Lab mixes, two English Mastiffs and now I have Angel, my Boxer mix. All of my dogs have been brilliantly off leash trained without the use of treats. While I do not have a formal setup for training, I would love to share my knowledge with other dog owners via private lessons for you to learn to understand your dog better for successful off leash training. I take only two dogs at a time from Rover as I enjoy the one on one benefits. The more intimate setting gives me an amazing opportunity to learn and understand much more about each dog that stays with me.

Alyssa was great. Was quick to respond and took amazing care of my dog. Will definitely be using her again.
Alyssa was so great
Alyssa does an amazing job! Clark has so much fun with Peanut & friends, and I know he is well cared for, especially with all of his eating quirks!!! I truly appreciate all of the pictures, videos and updates while we are away! It is so comforting to know that he is doing well and having fun. Thank you for being there for Clarky, he says thank you too!!!
As always Thor had a great time ! I would not even consider taking him anywhere else. Without question, the BEST place to have your dog when you leave town. The update videos are always a welcome site! Thanks for taking such good care of him!

Dogs are allowed to be everywhere I am in my home as long as they are not destructive. I provide my home 100%. I spend time with each dog so they learn and understand household manners. Dog beds, human beds, couches, toys, blankets, bones, food, treats, exercise, love, fun, another dog, a crate if needed. I truly love teaching dogs how to coexist properly in their world with humans.

MUST BE DOG FRIENDLY as my 3 year old boxer mix LOVES other dogs Pick ups/drop offs preferably after 7am and before 8pm I provided services through Rover years ago on a much bigger scale. My services are now more unique, personalized and geared towards helping families have fuller lives with their dogs.
A typical day
Your dogs will learn how to listen while enjoying safe dog play sessions on a 50-foot-long leash each day at the park behind my home. We will have dog park adventure trips on a case by case basis. I use the Lakewood Dog Park in Wauconda as it is securely fenced and huge, with acres of trails and friendly dogs and people. I love to take my K9 crew out and about with me during the day. This creates an amazing pack bond for every dog that stays with me. We may hit the Home Depot together or a pet store and get a yummy treat.
