Important Questions for Alicia
Why should you trust me with your dog?
I’ve always loved animals. But it wasn’t until I rescued my first dog that I realized how deep-rooted my passion went. From that point on, I truly understood the relationship with man’s best friend. Your dog is looking for a strong leader and through these hikes, they will become a better-balanced dog. We are those strong leaders.
What do you enjoy about working at Active Dog?
Every day is paradise. Exercise has always been a key component in my life and now I also get to be active on the job. I get to bring my two dogs to work so I see firsthand how exercise and socialization are beneficial to the fulfillment of our dog’s lives. I also love talking with owners so they have a better understanding of their dogs. Which in turn leads into a better relationship for them!
What did you do before you worked at Active Dog and why did you decide to work with dogs?
I worked for a corporate hotel chain for several years with hopes that I would eventually get a job in tourism so I could travel. Sitting in front of a desk for hours on end just wasn’t my thing! When I caught wind of what Eric had built, I wanted in. I think the dogs help me more than I help them.

Penny is training ✨for✨ situations instead of ✨in✨ them!
Training your dog can be counterintuitive sometimes. If your dog is exhibiting unwanted behaviors in certain situations, it makes sense to train in those situations. However, we want our dogs to be exposed to triggers in a way that ✨doesn’t✨ cause them to react, which often involves taking them out of the situation.
Penny can be reactive to other dogs on leash in her neighborhood. Today, we took her out of that environment and into a new one! This way, we were able to reinforce the behavior that we like, all while giving her the experience of seeing other dogs ✨without✨ reacting.
Great job, Penny! ❤️🐾 #dogtraining ... See MoreSee Less
