ROCHESTER CANINE ACADEMY IS
Every lesson happens by appointment, with your family, your dog and my full attention.
Because great dogs aren’t born.
They are trained with intention.
Personalized private dog training programs designed to give you the level of support you want to reach your goals with your dog.
GETTING STARTED
Call, text, or send a message. Lyss (our amazing admin) will answer your questions and get your evaluation scheduled.
Your one-hour evaluation is where it all starts. I meet you and your dog, hear your goals, and walk you through what makes sense. It’s $100, and applies to your deposit if you choose to enroll at your evaluation.
You don’t need to know which program you want before you come in. We will discuss the options together after I know more about you and your dog. You choose the program that fits your goals, and then we can get to the good stuff. Building a stronger relationship with you and your dog.
MEET YOUR TRAINER
I’ve been training dogs professionally since 1996, and I founded Rochester Canine Academy in 2002. But what my clients love best about working with me is that I teach in plain English, at your pace, and you’ll always know not just what to do, but why it works.
My job isn’t just training your dog. It’s teaching you to speak a little dog, so that you can both finally speak the same language.
WHAT WE OFFER
Not sure where to start? Your dog’s age usually tells us the first step.
FOR PUPPIES UNDER 13 WEEKS OLD
Build it right from the very beginning: housebreaking, exposure, foundations, and a trainer in your corner during the weeks that matter most. No evaluation needed to get started.
FOR DOGS 16 WEEKS AND OLDER
Three levels of private training support, from everyday manners all the way to off-leash freedom. The right fit gets figured out at your initial evaluation.
Is your puppy between 13-15 weeks old?
Now is the perfect time to schedule an evaluation. Once they turn 16 weeks old, they will be ready to hit the ground running with a Signature Program.
CLIENTS SAY IT BEST
Working with Alisson has made a world of difference in our dog Goose. He is able to control his impulses and walk with us with ease. She also truly helped us “speak dog” and give Goose a routine that sets him up for success!
Ellie B.
OK, I’ll admit, I was one of those people who could not imagine our little dog Sox walking on a leash without pulling the entire time. In fact, Alisson asked, “If I can get Sox to walk on a leash without pulling, will you write me a testimonial?” I immediately said yes. Here I am, admitting that Alisson was right. Sox can do it, and does it every day.
Jim G.
When we take them on walks, we always receive compliments on how well behaved they are. Thank you, Alisson, for enabling us to create such a stress free and fun life with our pups!
