You’ve been so amazing – so above and beyond wonderful before, during and now after Michelle’s adoption. You are so extremely generous, knowledgeable, caring and wise. The most amazing thing is your willingness to continue to work with her after the adoption! Cheers to more dogs learning by your side!

Alison is the best! We have a 5 month old lagotto, and was overwhelmed with his energy! Once we started training with Alison, we could channel all that energy to many constructive training sessions! Once we started training with Alison, we were amazed how his behaviour has taken a 180 degree change in direction. We can now work sitting on the couch with him just being calm. His recall is so much better and nipping has come down drastically. Alison is supportive and very kind to our needs. Her suggestions had tremendously helped us modify puppy behavior. Our lagotti has been a happy puppy! Alison is the best out there and you CANNOT go wrong with her!

We first met Alison in 2003 when she opened Country Canine in Acton. Our two border collies loved the place, and the people, and only retired from daycare when we moved, in 2014. Recently, having returned to the area, we adopted two rescue dogs and found that we were out of our depth with some of the behavior issues. I knew that Alison had started Balanced Pack Training, and was glad to be able to call her for help. Her insight and guidance with both our rescues have been invaluable. Aside from running the dog daycare for many years, Alison continues to build on her knowledge by attending advanced canine training courses, as well as staying abreast of new techniques and research. She is generous with her time and knowledge, informed, capable and always professional. We feel very fortunate to have found her all those years ago, and know that she will continue to help, and love, the many dogs who cross her path.
