“My little rescue Maurice can be a handful… I was worried he'd never stop trying to bite my friends. But then I met Alexis! She helped me turn my little guy around… Maurice is now much calmer around new people… I can't wait to continue seeing what my little guy can do with Alexis's help and compassion.”
- Michelle & Maurice
“Zen Dog Training has been a godsend to us… he no longer barks at bikes or children and is becoming calmer and more comfortable with his new life every day… I highly recommend Zen Dog Training and Alexis for anyone who has a pet in need of help!”
- Cindy, Dan & Georgie
Alexis is AMAZING!!!! My American Bulldog, Midas has separation anxiety… Alexis came in, formed an immediate bond with him and got him back on track… She has great resources and shares information openly. I highly recommend her!

Inner peace for your pooch. Harmony for your household.
We’ve been doing this for over a decade. We’ve worked with over a thousand dogs. We know what works.
Here’s how to start:
Step 1: Book a Free Consultation.
Let’s chat! You’ll tell us about your pup, get some training advice and your questions answered, and see if we’re a good fit for working together going forward.
Step 2: Schedule your first Training Session.
This is where we’ll meet your pup in person so we can really know who they are as an individual. We will then create a customized training plan for helping you and your dog to meet your specific goals.
Step 3: Start seeing lasting results.
With your customized training plan and ongoing support from your trainer, you’ll be able to get started towards success! As we work, we will be reassessing your plan to make sure it continues to be the best plan for you to see real, lasting results.
