Testimonials

We have loved working with Alison! We did the 3 week board and train. It has been evident throughout the process how much work she put into our sassy little man and how seriously she takes training each dog. Doobie learned so many new commands that are going to make the biggest difference in our day to day lives once he fully transitions to home. The difference we saw even on day 1 of Doobie being home were so impressive.
We are so excited to continue working with Alison to fully transfer all of the training to our home. We appreciated Alisons flexibility in scheduling as well as the broken up payment option. We highly recommend her program.

Allison was amazing with our dog. We initially did the 2 week on leash training and once he came home we realized we wanted to do the off leash training so Allison came to our home and picked him up and took him back that day and kept him another week without hesitation. He has done amazing since being back home which was imperative as we have 3 little kids. We are so thankful for finding Unbounded k9, I have already referred other people. So if you’re are looking for an A+ trainer without the crazy prices others charge Allison is your girl!

Alison did such a wonderful job with our 5 month German shepherd Nova!! We loved that our girl was boarded at her home which made us so much more comfortable. We were so shocked to see the progress Nova has made. Our once super stubborn puppy who wouldn’t listen to a word we said now follows our commands! Thank you Alison!!
