I can’t say enough good things about Alison and the work she did with my dog, Benny. She had him for just one week, and the change has been incredible. I truly believed Benny was reactive and that there was no coming back from it. Since bringing him home, I’ve already been in several situations that would have caused me to panic before—and he handled them so well. Alison didn’t just train my dog, she trained me. She provided hands-on guidance and clear, detailed notes that actually make sense for my dog and our lifestyle. I know we still have work to do, but the foundation she gave us is life-changing. I’m beyond grateful and would highly recommend Alison to anyone feeling overwhelmed with their dog.

I have a wonderfully sweet, yet full of energy and enthusiasm, 18 month old golden retriever. Toast came back from a weeklong board & train with Alison, and wow, is she on a transformation journey! Her walk is 100% better! Where she used to pull like a maniac, she is mindful and well behaved. She’s learned to sit when greeting people (mostly! lol). We are still is working on self self-control, but she is worlds better! I’m so happy. Alison took time to train me after the conclusion of the week so that I could practice and work on building her skills and until her next week session.

We had an exceptional experience with the board and train provided by Alison. We encountered challenges with leash pulling, as my dog exhibited nervousness around other dogs and unfamiliar environments. However, we have observed a significant improvement after training with Alison. She now feels more comfortable around other dogs and enjoys her walks without pulling. Recently, we took her to the dog park, where she engaged with other dogs, displayed increased curiosity, and explored the park independently rather than being tethered to our hip. We received regular updates from Alison, and we were able to view our dog’s activities on Splash’s Instagram stories, which alleviated our own anxieties. We express our gratitude to Alison and the Splash staff for their exceptional service, which we highly recommend.

You CAN teach an old dog new behaviors (and their humans too!) Alison is a patient, observant, dog behaviorist—we struggled with our pup lurching at others while on walks, and his overall anxiety. We tried many styles of training, but they weren’t giving us true results. Alison worked with me (3 days Splash -daycare & training) and a private appt and taught me the skills to make me a confident dog walker. Our trip to Home Depot showed me how our pup reacts to distractions, noises, and constant activities and how to best support him. Our walk on the HB path really helped me understand what to do when other dogs/bikes/walkers approach. I am grateful for Alison’s skills and true understanding of decoding dog behavior. Highly recommend! If your fur-child needs a tutor—call Alison!

Taking Astro, my ever-excitable pup, to Splash Premiere Pet Resort was really a game changer. He just finished the 7-day board and train program, and the difference is night and day! No more leash pulling - it's a breath of fresh air. I swear, when I say "let's go" or "leave it" during our walks, he actually listens now. Who would have thought that would happen? I have to give special props to Allison, our fabulous trainer. She didn't just work wonders with Astro, she was also excellent at communicating how we could keep up the good work at home. You should have seen how well she explained things, really top notch. Having Astro behave so well now has put a newfound sense of peace in our home, not to mention it’s really upped my dog-handling skills. Can’t say thank you enough to the team at Splash Premiere and Beachside dog training. They know their stuff!
