Behavioral training in Boise, Idaho
Your dog is talking. I'll teach you how to listen.
Barking, lunging, fear and reactivity are messages. I help you understand what your dog is saying, so the two of you can finally live in sync.
Serving Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Star and Caldwell.
The big idea
Behavior isn't a problem to fix. It's a message to understand.
Most trainers sell control. I teach translation. Your dog is already telling you what they need. Once you can hear it, everything gets easier.
Body
What they show you
Ears, tail, weight, the way they stand. Small signals that come long before a bark or a lunge.
Energy
What they feel from you
Dogs read our tension before we notice it ourselves. Calm handlers make calm dogs.
Emotion
What sits underneath
Fear, frustration or overwhelm. When we answer the feeling, the behavior changes.
Sound familiar?
You love your dog. You just can't tell what they need.
- Walks feel stressful. You scan the street for other dogs before you even leave the house.
- Guests make you nervous. You're not sure how your dog will react, so you stop inviting people over.
- You feel like you're failing them. You've tried things, maybe even other trainers, and nothing sticks.
You're not failing. Your dog isn't bad. They're misunderstood, and you just haven't been given the translation yet.
How it works
Three steps to a calmer home
Step 01
Book a Translation Session
I meet your dog, read what they're telling us, and explain it in plain words. You leave knowing what's really going on.
Step 02
Learn their language
We work together, you and your dog, with homework between sessions. Short sessions, big shifts.
Step 03
Live in sync
A calm home, a confident dog, and an owner who finally understands what their dog has been saying all along.
A change in how I work
Why I don't do board and trains anymore
Your dog can learn everything with me and still come home to someone who can't read them.
The training was never the problem. The conversation was.
So I work with you and your dog together. You're the one they live with, and you're the one who needs to learn their language. Even on full training days, your dog comes home with you every night.
Where every dog starts
One session. Real answers.
Every dog starts with a $150 Translation Session. From there, choose Day Training or In-Home Behavioral Training.
From our clients
Owners who finally understand their dogs
"I've had only 3 sessions with Alicia and my two dogs have shown HUGE improvement with overall behavior. I now feel so much more confident and comfortable taking my dogs places and having people come over and having my dogs behave and listen better. Alicia listens to your concerns and takes her time to get to know you and your dog!"
"Alicia has done an amazing job with my pup! He was on the verge of being put down because of him being so aggressive towards people he had already bit one person and I'm so glad I found her. She really helped me understand things I never knew and how to handle him in every situation!"
"There was a noticeable difference after her initial visit which was just the assessment. Since then, we've had training sessions and they are extensive! She invests so much time, she is never in a rush. She is always available for a text or phone call if something comes up and I need her insight."
Your dog has been talking all along.
Stop guessing and walking on eggshells. Start with one session and hear what they've been saying.
