Testimonials

Alle was exceptional. She was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions and address our concerns about our puppy, Theo. Her experience and expertise were immediately apparent, and she provided practical, thoughtful advice that made us feel supported and empowered as new puppy parents. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, experienced, and professional dog trainer.
– Surita B

Naples Dog Academy offered a dog training experience that stands out from any I have ever had, in the best way possible. I was genuinely impressed by the rapid progress in our dog and the friendly, seamless experience throughout.

About the Trainer

Naples Dog Academy is an in-home dog training business serving greater Naples and Southwest Florida with a 100% positive-reinforcement, force-free approach. Founder and lead trainer Alle Deuschle built the academy around what she calls Science-Based Learning, grounded in modern behavior science and the LIMA framework (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive).

Training starts where your dog is most comfortable, at home, and gradually progresses to real-world settings like parks, sidewalks, and busy public spaces. The team never uses shock collars, prong collars, fear, or intimidation, and every trainer has signed the Shock-Free Coalition pledge.

From puppy foundations and everyday obedience to behavior modification for reactivity, anxiety, and resource guarding, Naples Dog Academy works with the whole family to build clear communication and lasting results, treating every dog like one of their own.

Accomplishments

Founder Alle Deuschle is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator and a CATCH Canine Training Academy Certified Dog Trainer, with a background in psychology and Pet CPR certification. The academy is a member of the Pet Professional Guild and a signatory of the Shock-Free Coalition, with more than 25 years of professional dog training experience.
