Testimonials

When you work with Liggett Dog Training, you are not only working on your dog's behavior, you are also working on your skills and education as a dog owner and handler. After all, it doesn't matter what a trainer can do with your dog- it matters what YOU can do with your dog.

My only guarantee is an honest assessment. If at any point I can't help you, or your dog needs a training program I can't offer, I'll be the first to let you know! 

Here's what people are saying about Liggett Dog Training, LLC:

“


I love Alex’s approach to dog training. My wonderful dog was way to strong for me and we have been trying different techniques to improve her resource guarding, her reactivity, and her enthusiastic tugging on the leash. Alex understands the human and the canine psyche and working with her is fun. You wouldn’t recognize that I have the same dog as the one I rescued in April.

Alex absolutely knows her stuff!

She has been a game changer with welcoming an energetic golden retriever puppy into our home with his pug brother. From simply watching her interact with Cooper during the private lessons and the advice during that lesson to the puppy classes, Alex has guided us in how to best set our boy up for success! 10/10, 100%, definitely recommend!!

If you are thinking about hiring Alex, you need to! I wish I would’ve done it sooner.

I adopted a shelter puppy and he had some issues that I couldn’t resolve on my own. I googled, read articles etc., but nothing compares to having someone coach you through how to train your own dog. Alex is excellent! She is knowledgeable and friendly. She genuinely cares about the quality of life your pet has and how they fit into your family.

Alex will see things you don’t realize you are doing, or not doing to achieve the goals you have for your dog. Do yourself and your dog a favor and get started! You won’t regret it. Thank you for all of the help, Alex!

I help dogs and dog owners enjoy life together and sometimes I ride horses. 🐶🐴

If you don’t want someone to pet your dog, here ar If you don’t want someone to pet your dog, here are some ✅DOs and ❌DONTs: 

Do: 
✅ Thank people for asking to pet. Being kind and courteous can go a long way. 
✅ Put yourself between the person asking and your dog. This allows you to be a physical barrier between stranger and your dog. People are less likely to reach out and pet you. 😂
✅ Include them in training. Tell them what they should do instead. “Hey, thanks so much for asking, right now, we’re working on building confidence and what would be so helpful is if we just stood here and talked for a few minutes while ignoring him/or toss some treats.” Then you can go on to explain more about the situation. Maintain your position between stranger and your dog. 
✅Be direct. Sometimes people are asking while they are reaching. Saying “not today” or “No, I’m so sorry” it’s not the easiest social thing to do, but it’s important if your dog is not to be petted and time is of the essence. (And your dog should probably be muzzle trained- people don’t reach their hands out towards muzzled dogs) 

DON’T
❌ Assume they know what to do instead. Most people assume the answer will be yes and feel socially awkward if you say no. It’s not their fault, it’s part of the reason we love dogs so much. Our brains just melt around them and the typical social etiquette around dogs doesn’t work for all dogs. 
❌ Tell them, “he’s shy/she’s not friendly/he’s nervous around people” people take this as a challenge and will often do things that don’t help your dog, like talking to them, crouching down, extending a hand, making more eye contact. This also isn’t direct enough. Especially if your dog is not safe to pet- you need to be direct (and again your dog should be muzzle trained). 
❌ Tell them your dog is in training. This also yields similar results as above. People can take this as a challenge or excuse to interact with your dog. They might ask your dog to sit or ask what the dog is in training for. These aren’t inherently bad things, they just aren’t what’s helpful for your dog and doesn’t put you back in control of the situation quickly.

We are so excited to open our home to another dog who needs a place to be. This guy is such a ham and so easy going. 

He’s truly a people pleaser but also full of life an energy. He’s a six month old pitty mix and ready for his forever home! 

We’ll be documenting a lot of his journey on YouTube, (his meet and greet video is already posted!)

Send me or Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS) a message if you’re interested in meeting him!
