Hired to walk my new rescue wolfhound. Discussed in person my concerns with his jumping. I was reassured that it was not a problem and something she could handle. Everything was going well, even received a message stating that he was doing better with jumping. Was planning to attend a class with said trainer this weekend to continue working towards his training. Was not given this opportunity because the next visit we had she randomly canceled and said that his jumping is not something she can handle? I reviewed my security cameras and it seems that she was not ignoring his jumping as she told me she'd done before. She was getting annoyed with him then got on knee level and of course he was excited and jumped. There was plenty of ways a professional trainer could have gone about avoiding this conflict as in separating the dogs to harness separately. Or taking the excited dog outside first. My dog has 0 aggression issues and just is happy to have company and someone to love on him. She stated knew this but that her "injuries" were more extreme than most *small scratches and bruises* If you are unable to handle a large dog who was recently rescued then you need to just be upfront with the owner about your capabilities. Not waste my time and money canceling an entire week on me with 0 communication of any issues or warnings. Also offered no alternative solutions besides dropping me as a client until he received more training. When she is the trainer I was trying to have him build a relationship with? Have only worked with this person for three weeks and had several instances of her needing to change our pre discussed schedule and was more than happy to communicate and accomodate. Wish the same respect had been received in return.

If we could give Alyssa more than 5 stars, she has earned every star in the world. Our kids loved being spoiled and her deep attentiveness to each one.
