The Challenge

Jason Anderson enrolled Oakley because everyday life had become frustrating. Walks were stressful, leash pulling was constant, and Oakley reacted strongly to other dogs.

Before training, Oakley:

  • Had no leash manners
  • Reacted to other dogs
  • Lacked basic structure and boundaries
  • Made walks unenjoyable

Jason wanted a solution that would not just help temporarily, but create lasting behavior change.

Owner Review

“We enrolled our Labradoodle Oakley in the off leash 2 week board and train when he was 1 year old. He had no manners, did not walk well on a leash and was very reactive to other dogs. We had Alex Ortiz as our trainer and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We received updates throughout the process with Oakley’s progress. Walks have become so enjoyable. It has been about 2 years since Oakley’s training and we constantly get complimented on how well behaved he is and we recommend this program to everyone.”
