Receive personalized, one-on-one support to help you raise a dog you actually enjoy living with, not just manage.
Whether you just brought home a new puppy or you’re ready to get clear on expectations with the dog you already have, I’ll help you create the kind of relationship that feels calm, clear, and doable.
Let’s make training feel less like a chore and more like the start of something special.
The biggest difference between our training programs? How much time we’ll have to spend together to reach your goals.
The more one-on-one time we have, the faster and easier the training is for both of you. Your dog will learn to listen better and more reliably at a much faster pace. This gives you the freedom to enjoy your dog every day, everywhere, in less time and with less work!
Our Programs
The Essentials
Start strong, feel better, and enjoy your dog more every day
(For dogs 16 weeks and older)
Whether your dog just joined the family or you are looking to build a better rhythm with the one you already have, this program has got your covered.
This program focuses on building simple, useful habits that make daily life easier. Like leash manners, an “off switch”, and how to help your dog spend more time focusing on you. It’s not designed for big behavior problems or advanced goals. Think of it as the building blocks all dogs need so that you will be able to teach them how to be a joy instead of a struggle.
When you know how to clearly communicate with your dog, everything else gets easier. Essentials gives you the tools to do that with less stress, less second-guessing, and way more enjoyment.

- This program is typically accomplished with 1 Owner Orientation Video & series of 1hr Private Lessons with the trainer
Behaviors – We’ll teach your dog to walk next to you without pulling so that taking a walk is the fun peaceful exercise you’ve dreamed of. To sit politely when you stop walking to tie your shoes, pick up poop or talk to the neighbors. How to avoid the chaos at the door when you have company visit. How to stop your dog from dashing out of doorways, jumping and excessive barking. Finally!

This program will give you and your dog the freedom to enjoy life together anywhere and everywhere you want to go!
More time with your trainer means less work and effort for you, and your dog gets farther along faster, while listening in all kinds of situations.
This program is perfect for the family who wants the absolute best, fastest, easiest on-leash & off-leash training experience, learning everything you need to know to maintain your dog’s training, and the peace of mind that you have all the long term support you need.
No need to worry about training slipping over time, or something coming up later on that you’d like help with. We’re here for you from now on.
Not only will we make sure your dog has excellent house manners and listens to you even around distractions, we’ll also make sure your dog listens when they don’t have a leash on.

What Are People Saying About RCA?
This was an amazing experience!! My pup now walks appropriately without tugging and has learned so many great skills from Alisson! She gives you the skills and confidence to train the most stubborn dogs! I highly recommend giving her a call!
My entire family has gone to Alisson with our dogs for years now and we are truly lucky to have her in our life. My Yogi and I owe her a big thank you. As we keep making milestones and going on adventures together, I am reminded of how much better he is doing, and am so thankful for the kind and patient work Alisson has done.
She knows what she is doing. She wants your pet to be a part of your family! But have manners. Alisson is awesome and truly loves what she does. She cares about you and your pet.
Hazel is obedient and is controlled! She follows our commands and is manageable. I can't say enough about our experience and I highly recommend RCA!
