Alliance dog training is a comprehensive approach that helps you build a strong bond with your dog. It's based on positive reinforcement techniques that encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior.
With alliance dog training, you can expect to see improvements in your dog's obedience and communication skills. This is because the training focuses on clear and consistent commands, as well as rewarding good behavior.
One of the key benefits of alliance dog training is that it's adaptable to your lifestyle and schedule. Whether you're a busy professional or a stay-at-home parent, you can find a training plan that works for you.
By working with a certified alliance dog trainer, you can learn how to effectively communicate with your dog and address common behavioral issues.

Dog Behavior and Training
Good Dog Social Skills classes are a great way to help young puppies and adolescents develop their social skills in a safe and structured environment. These classes are specifically designed for dog-friendly and human-friendly dogs who have taken at least one Manners class at Animal Alliances.
Practicing social skills with other dogs is crucial for their development, especially in the first 1-2 years of their life. Good Dog Social Skills classes help dogs learn to be calm and focused around other dogs and people, and even practice off-leash social skills for those who are ready.
If your dog is reactive to other dogs, there's a different class for that too - Remedial Social Skills class.

Dog Social Skills
Developing social skills in dogs is crucial, especially during the first 1-2 years of their life. It's essential for them to practice social skills with other dogs in a safe and structured way.
Good Dog Social Skills classes are a great solution for young puppies and adolescents who are still developing their social skills. They're designed for dog-friendly and human-friendly dogs who have taken at least one Manners class.
These classes help dogs learn to be calm and focused around other dogs and people. They practice polite leash walking past other dogs and learn to disengage and move away when needed.
For dogs who are ready, they also practice off-leash social skills. And, of course, dogs who want to play can do so, but they'll learn to ask politely and read other dogs' social cues in response.
It's not suitable for dogs who are reactive to other dogs or too excited around them to eat treats or hear their names. For those dogs, Remedial Social Skills class is a better option.
The Good Dog Social Skills class is a 5-week course, with each session lasting an hour. It costs $175, and you can find upcoming start dates and register online.
Leash Reactivity
Leash reactivity is a common issue many dog owners face. Your dog barks or lunges when they see other dogs, bicycles, or skateboards.
The underlying cause of this behavior is often anxiety, fear, or frustration. Identifying the root cause is essential to helping your dog change their emotions and associations with these triggers.
The goal is for your dog - and you! - to feel better in the presence of their triggers. This ultimately reduces the lunging and barking behavior.
Let's chat about your dog's leash reactivity and work together to help them overcome it.
