⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - See the original review on Yelp.com.

adopted a 4-year-old terrier mix from the shelter, only to find out he was reactive, fear-aggressive, and undersocialized (all words I was not familiar with). He could not be around anyone without barking and lunging. Walks were stressful since we live in the city and pass people on the street all the time (not to mention, motorcycles, bikes and scooters).

I am so thankful for Alexandra's training because now I have the tools I need to work on his reactivity. I saw improvement about a month into our training. Upon first meeting her, he reacted like he does with anyone else. But slowly and patiently, Alexandra won him over and now she's his buddy! I also appreciated the weekly virtual sessions and her offer to do such a session with my boyfriend (who had not spent much time in my apartment after 9 months of dating, because of my dog).

Lastly, I have continued using the training techniques after our sessions were over and continue to see improvement. Even neighbors notice that he is no longer barking as much. He even became friends with one of them and looks for her on our walks!

There is a reason Alexandra has so many positive reviews. She is a calm and helpful presence, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
