What People Are Saying

"Our dog was anxious, pulled constantly on her leash and had separation anxiety. With the help of Alesia, our dog's behavior improved almost immediately and Stella is now a happy, calm & well behaved on and off leash...I recommend her without reservation for walking & training!"

~ Elizabeth D - Berkeley, CA

"I had bad luck with another walking service so I tried Doggy-Style about 6 months ago. Our dogs were shy before, but now they are more social. They LOVE going to see Alesia to see their pack buddies twice a week. I highly recommend Doggy-Style."

~ Laurie F - Oakland, CA

Balanced Training

Balanced training is defined as a balance of positive reinforcement as well as incorporating boundaries and the use of “NO!” We offer balanced training as well as off-leash play. We believe in structure, and boundaries belong in every aspect of your dog’s life. When your dog knows how they are supposed to behave in every situation, you have a dog capable of going anywhere.

Our Core Values

We never discriminate against people or dogs and maintain non-confrontational communication and behavior. We love dogs and strive to create a relationship with people and their dogs by projecting a friendly attitude toward everyone.
