Alisa H. Dog Trainer Bio

I’m a certified, professional dog trainer with over a decade of hands-on experience helping dogs and their people live happier, more harmonious lives together. In 2021, I started Dog Forward Training to help dedicated owners lead fulfilling lives with their pups. Life with a dog can be downright magical. I also know from personal experience that it can be stressful. I can help you find real solutions, so you and your dog understand each other. My desire is for you to spend more time actually enjoying your companion!I graduated from the Dog Trainer Professional program at Karen Pryor Academy and am a Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP, certification number 14193). I am also a Certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM) and a Licensed UnChase! Trainer. Additionally, I participate in continuing education opportunities to bring you the most up-to-date and effective training methods. I have experience with shelter dogs, pet dogs, and competitive dog sports. Beyond training, I also write for a variety of trusted online publications and pet companies. For me, writing is another way I can make a positive impact on the pet community.
