We have Live In-Person services available throughout Staten Island & nearby Brooklyn, Manhattan, NJ

The goal is to educate holistic guardians, your household and dog how to achieve a clear solution that relieves worry, guilt, frustration, confusion and embarrassment for all your dogs’ needs w/confidence whether a puppy, new family member, or just need some help and guidance. Alice’s 30+ years of experience, empathy, compassion, gentle force-free methods will help you achieve your dreams come true.
WHAT IS HOLISTIC? HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS?
Our Programs encompass your dog’s entire life, not only that they learn good manners (leave it, come aka recall, etc.), but that they live their longest, healthiest, happiest life possible. Alice helps you understand your dog so you don’t have to rely on constant verbal corrections, harsh aversive tools, or guesswork. Learn how to “read” your dog’s body language & calming signals and literally “SPEAK” dog.
Are you experiencing:
- stress
- embarrassment
- lack of control
- not feeling heard
- frustration
- confusion
- guilt
Alice enables you, the guardian, an empathic and compassionate approach to accomplish your goals, attain your dog’s success and your households’ peace of mind. We believe in our motto: “Speak” Less to Accomplish More!
– Is it important to you to consider every aspect of your dogs’ well-being?
– Are you not only concerned with what you don’t want them to be doing but how you reach your final goals?
– Would you like them to live a long, healthy, happy, stress-free life? Participate in your daily life?
– Do you know how to read your dog’s body language and calming signals?
– Positive trainer/coach/educator = positive results!
THEN WE ARE THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU!
Alice is an Educator and cares about what you feed your dog, how often you vaccinate, what preventative protocols you follow, as our Holistic approach encompasses all aspects of your dogs’ daily life!
New Puppy?
Do you have a new puppy and can use some help with potty training, X-pen training, teething, jumping, chewing, barking, knocking the little ones over or biting them or you. Would you like them to learn their manners and understand what they are saying/doing & why? Do you know how to read their body language and calming signals? The sooner you begin the training, the easier it is.
New Dog?
Perhaps you have a new dog that has not been taught basic manners and is having accidents indoors or jumping on you and guests or mouthy or has no idea how to walk on a loose leash and is pulling you down the street with no regard for your well being. Do you have any idea how to read their body language? Do they understand anything you want them to do? Do they beg for food or not understand you need them to relax sometimes and just chill with you.
Simply the Basics
Maybe you have your dog for quite a while and realize they could benefit from learning some manners & human body language? Do you know how to read their body language and calming signals?
Beyond the Basics for Intermediate &/or Advanced Training
How would you like your dog to act in the house or outside on a walk or at a restaurant? Does your dog have “selective hearing” syndrome? Do they just NOT listen to you? Imagine the possibilities! Does your dog know the basics and you would like to take it to the next level such as off leash playtime or walks? Do you know how to read their body language and calming signals? Or what they might be telling or asking you? It can all be done easily!
Behavior Modification for Aggression, Leash Reactivity, Guarding – or – dogs who are Timid, Fearful, Anxious, or experiencing Separation Anxiety
Is your dog timid, fearful or anxious? Are they panicking when you attempt to leave the house? Are they resource guarding their food or other items, maybe even you? Are they barking excessively or acting *aggressive with other dogs or people? Do they have “stranger danger”? Are they territorial of the house or the kids or the bed or the couch? All these behaviors can be addressed and adjusted to create a calm and peaceful environment. You NEED to understand their calming signals and body language to deal with these behaviors before you can address them!
Are you expecting a “human” baby? Proper Baby Introductions are Essential
Offered as an individual Program or as an add-on for all ages. This Program is highly recommended during the pregnancy. Of course, if you miss this during pregnancy, thereafter is an urgent necessity.
*This also makes a wonderful and useful gift for any expectant parents you know and is available as a Gift Certificate!
The Graduate Program for Advanced+ Coaching/Training/Education &/or Assistance Animal/Service Animal/Emotional Support Animal/Therapy Animal
Do you want your dog to surpass the Advanced Coaching/Training/Education they have already received? Proof all the off-leash work you have accomplished with your dog to date? Then this is PhD in Dog Training known as the Graduate Program! They will be able accomplish AKC/CGC requirements and beyond.
~or~
Would you like your dog to be trained as an Assistance Animal or Service Animal? Or maybe you want your dog to be trained as an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) or as a Therapy Animal for yourself or your child. Dogs can be trained to work with those on the “Spectrum” or with “PTSD” or as a Companion Animal. This is all possible with the right education, dog/handler team, patience, practice, consistency and guidance.
Just remember, Dogs "speak" a completely different language than us, it's time to learn to "read" their body language and calming signals, so you can communicate on a brand new level!
Balance, the core of true happiness for us and our faithful dogs, is attainable through a well developed “customized” program that is simple to understand and easy to follow. With Alice, an individual who actually understands what you are going through, and her correlating coaching/training/education, together you will unleash your dog’s unwanted behaviors and lOve them to a balanced holistic life. Balance, understanding, compassion, empathy and positive results are the end goal for a lifetime of happiness together.
