My two dogs attended Mountain Made K9 four week Board and Train. Alisha was professional, easy to communicate with, and effective. I knew what to expect each step of the way and she was incredible at demonstrating, explaining, and teaching me too. Now that the dogs are home I cannot believe the improvement, including much less barking, great responsiveness to corrections for barking and other behaviors. No tugging at their leashes. Much less reactive and easy to focus. Highly recommend!! More...

Inky and Lida just graduated from the 4 week Board & Train. What Alisha accomplished in 4 weeks is nothing short of Amazing. One of the best decisions I have ever made. I highly recommend Mountain Made K9 for any dog training needs. I have no doubt the investment will yield a lifetime of benefit for both my dogs and me! The weekly training sessions for me were critical as was the extensive “rehoming” today after graduation! I know MMK9 support will be there over the next weeks as I reinforce everything in a “new” location! More...

I have had the pleasure of meeting Alisha. She has done training on my Hope one day search and rescue golden.
She got an amazing start on him and really boosted his confidence!
Highly recommend.

What do you love most about your job?
There are so many things I love about dog training! I love working with the dogs and their handlers to help make a difference in their lives!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I am a former special education teacher of 10 years! I’m that time I grew tired of the system and felt frustrated that I was not permitted to help the families of the students I taught. So, I decided to start training service dogs for people with disabilities and help pet owners develop an effective communication system with their dogs that will positively change both their lives.
