Administration

If you’ve called, texted, or emailed the Rochester Canine Academy since 2021, chances are you’ve spoken with me, Lyss. While I can’t train your dog, I am the one who remotely handles almost all of the rest of the things that make the RCA a well oiled machine.  I make sure that Alisson can keep her focus on helping you and your dogs.

I grew up on a working dairy farm in the Catskills, and after moving to Rochester and falling in love with garbage plates (white hots or chicken fingers, mac salad, home fries, all the toppings), I spent a number of years walking dogs and pet sitting before finally talking my husband into letting me get a puppy  We chose Alisson to help us train our ridiculous and now well behaved poodle mix, Kaz. Long story short I work here now!

Best part of my remote job? Not having to wear real pants.
Worst part of my remote job? I never get to meet any of your dogs. (So send me pictures!!)

What Are People Saying About RCA?

Melissa A.

Alisson was a life-saver with our dog! We couldn’t open a door without our puppy dashing away as fast as possible. She even got on the school bus, much to our middle schooler’s dismay. She can now go anywhere with us and can even be off-leash around our house to run and play with the kids. Thanks Alisson for making such a difference.

Alisson is amazing! She gave me the knowledge and confidence to interact with my own pup.  Mr. Fenton is so well behaved we get compliments every time we are out in public.

A well-trained dog paired with an informed owner makes for a great relationship, and my relationship with my dog improved greatly after Alisson's guidance. You'll thank yourself after hiring her because you'll enjoy your time with your pet SO much more when you are both speaking the same language. Her services are strongly recommended.

We have taken two adult dogs to RCA and old dogs CAN be taught new tricks! Thanks the gods we found Allison!
