Alison is a true professional and has mastered the skills she is teaching. Her strength through positivity is an inspiration and you can see how much her own dogs love and respect her. I wish every dog owner could take this course especially the ones who have embraced negative training techniques like shock collars and negative reinforcement. I have developed a remarkable bond with my dogs by practicing Alison's techniques and I am actually learning how to "Speak Dog." Thank you HappyTails University and Alison for this world-class, training program! Way to go!
