Testimonials
“I’ve taken group classes with Alexa twice now. I love her classes. With Alexa’s help, I’ve been able to sharpen my wolfhound’s skills. Whether you are new to training, or have some prior experience, Alexa can help you achieve your training goals. When I work with my dog, I want it to be a bonding experience. I want training to be fun. Alexa makes training fun. She has a strong and positive relationship with her dogs, and that shows in her training. Do not hesitate to reach out to Alexa! She travels! She can observe and work with your dog in the environment where the issues occur. By having the flexibility to work in home, in public or in a training facility, Alexa can more accurately and effectively pinpoint training issues and address your needs.”

“Happy Feet provided our family the perfect opportunity to further bond and train our pup, a Spring doodle. We could not have asked for a better experience: small group as well as individual instruction, practical suggestions that really work, affordable, and enjoyable interactions working our dog. I highly recommend Happy Feet as a guiding partner for you and your furry friend!”
– Debbie S.
“Alexa did a wonderful job with our Aussiedoodle puppy ‘Leo’. I opted for the one-on-one class. He has learned so much in the last few months (sit, stay, place, recall, loose leash walks, etc.). I tried another larger class who recommended pinch collars. I could never do that. Happy Feet Training works on reward training. This was so much better! I highly recommend Alexa and Happy Feet Dog Training. They’re wonderful!”

She specializes in puppy training, leash walking, recall, separation anxiety, reactivity, and behavior modification for anxious or fearful dogs.
