Alexandra has been helping us with our little terrier mix  Archie, we decided we needed help when we tried to walk him and he would become extremely reactive whenever he saw another dog he would go crazy lunging and barking. 
With just a few sessions Alex has given us the tools to help Archie get over his issues using positive reinforcement and teaching us how to be good dog parents showing us techniques that really have worked quickly. 
Alexandra has a lovely calming demeanor and we all enjoy her visits, a really positive and rewarding experience all around. Highly recommended.
UPDATE! We have been continuing with the methods Alexandra taught us and Archie has come a long way he has really flourished with these techniques and has become a much better doggy citizen!

Lexi is a wonderful dog trainer and coach who really cares about her clients. My Luna is quite the handful, but Lexi has given us the tools we need to figure each other out. I highly recommend her private guidance and her classes!

Lexi is an amazing dog trainer. She helped us take our dog Lacey from barking and pulling towards other dogs to being able to go to the dog park and reacting to dogs more calmly on leash. Her group class is very helpful and she really cares about you and your dog's progress. Highly recommend!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Lexi and Dog Savvy.

As someone who grew up with dogs, I felt confident and ready to train my newly adopted 2-year-old german shepherd mix, but boy did he come with some baggage. Our pup, though loving, has lots of energy and a few major behavioral problems including isolation distress and reactivity to other dogs - which began to wear me and boyfriend down as new dog owners.

We were stuck between a rock and a hard place - our dog would react and bark/lunge at other dogs when out in the community, which made it hard for us to bring him with us anywhere, but when left alone he became very anxious and barked for hours on end.

We had unsuccessfully worked with other dog trainers in the past but thankfully met Lexi before losing our patience altogether. We began participating in both group and personal training classes with Lexie about 6 weeks ago and noted major improvements right from the start!

After a personal visit to our home, we learned from Lexie that previous trainers had incorrectly diagnosed our dog with separation anxiety vs isolation distress, which therefore made our approach to training all wrong. It is still a work in progress, but now when we leave our home our dog is much more relaxed, and we have slowly worked up to about 10 minutes of leaving without our dog showing any signs of distress (this is a huge accomplishment for him). In addition, ever since using Lexie's feed for orientation approach to dog reactivity, we no longer need a prong collar to walk our dog and have significantly reduced stress on social outings in the community overall.

I would highly recommend Dog Savvy to any new dog owner, or even older dogs/owners with behavioral issues, as I have seen improvements from both perspectives working with her. She is professional, patient, and committed to both you and your dog's success.

I have just been back in England for 3 weeks and my puppy was looked after & trained by Alexandra at our home in Los Angeles. I really want to recommend her to everyone!

When I say looked after, I mean really looked after: thoughtfully putting Moose first, teaching him everything we asked, going above and beyond with his lessons. We call her the Fairy Godmother as she comes into our puppy's life and really makes him feel good.

The quality of training is better than any we have had before with Moose. Alexandra has taken a real interest in our puppy's well-being and been there for us/him if we needed any dog related help. His progress is all down to her and he is a lovely, smart and well-trained pup.

We really did not need to worry while we were in a different country--seeing videos of his training while away and knowing he was out at the beach, on walks, at the dog park, playing with dog friends etc. Having the time of his life!

Fantastic dog trainer in LA! Reliable, trustworthy, thoughtful, caring, responsible and damn right skilled at her job. We'll be calling on her for training needs as much as possible and recommending her again and again and again. Thank you for your wonderful help!
