Introduction
At RufF lOve dOg traiNIng we take a Holistic approach in everything we do for over 30 years! Do you need help with a new puppy? Have you just rescued a dog and don’t know what’s next? Do you have your dog for a while but notice behaviors you would like to address. Is life just hectic and stressing you out and the dog isn’t helping? Are you concerned about separation anxiety when you leave the house or go to work or school? Would you just like your dog to listen to you and understand that sometimes they need to be in their place and settle down and not disturb you or the children? All this is possible and we can certainly do it together. My 30+ years of experience coupled with my people skills, knowledge and Personal Training approach is what sets me apart from the rest! I am a Holistic Certified Professional Dog Trainer/Animal Behavior Specialist, Certified Pet Nutrition Specialist, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner,\ & Certified Personal Trainer as well as New York’s first Certified Personal Trainer for People & Pets! Group Training Classes are also available year round for All Puppies/Beginners/Novice/Adults+/Dogs/Breeds/Ages & taught by me personally!

When contacting me, please indicate if you’re interested in “LVT” especially if you’re located afar so I rsvp to your requests. Home schooling will be available 4Evermore! Remember... If you don't train them, you CAN'T BLAME THEM!!! “Unleash your dogs unwanted behaviors & lOve them to a balanced holistic life”.

Alice has been the best thing to happen to us and our three fur babies! Before Alice, we could never walk the three of them together without being pulled or having a breakdown before the end of their walk. Fast forward to to now, one person can easily walk all three of our dogs at once. Just as a reference, our heaviest is 130lbs and the other two are 80lbs each. She is so patient and so knowledgeable and will provide the best no bullshit training for your dogs. She worked with us individually and corrected our behavior so we can be the best parents to our dogs. She is simply the best! Having taken both individual and group classes with Alice, I can happily say what a difference she has made in improving their behavior. We would recommend Alice to anyone looking to train their dogs!

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Extra large (70+ lbs) • Private lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Barking • Digging • Biting • Leash pulling • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

I have a Siberian Husky, that I wanted to train to become my sons service dog , After searching and sending a few e mails to a few trainers , I was happy to receive a response from Alice , we spoke over the phone and she answered all my questions and concerns. It was a huge relief to finally speak to someone who was knowledgeable in Nutrition as well as training ! Alice has been a huge blessing to our family , Everyone that sees my Husky Akira always compliments on how well behaved she is and trained . I thank God for allowing me to be able to work with Alice in training Akira , Alice is always available when I need some advice or questions , My son who has Autism, loves working with Alice in training Akira , he loves Alice and that means a lot to me , to us she’s not only our “dog trainer “ she’s part of our family !

Details: 0 - 6 months old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Private lessons • Therapy or service dog training • House training • Crate training • My home, venue, etc.

About halfway through our sessions with Alice and she's nothing short of amazing. I was very nervous to introduce our new puppy to our original guy and on the first session she took control and gave me the tools to be more confident. Four weeks later I'm happy to report the pups are getting along much better and I am able to handle them in ways I never thought I would. She has a great energy and the pups love her - even our original guy who is suspect of everyone! During our first session she provided us with some great nutritional and general dog education which was a nice change from the usual training. We work with our pups for a little each day to ensure her training doesn't go to waste. So far it's been worth every penny!
