Customer Reviews
I recently met with Alexandra at Dog Savvy for a one-hour session after an unsettling incident at the dog park in June. She was incredibly caring and reassuring from the very beginning, which immediately helped calm my worries. Throughout the session, she took the time to listen, understand the situation, and provide thoughtful feedback tailored to my dogs and my concerns. Her training advice was clear, practical, and easy to follow. She explained not only what to do but also why it works, which gave me much more confidence moving forward. I truly appreciated her compassionate approach she never made me feel judged, only supported. By the end of the hour, I left feeling both reassured and empowered with new strategies to keep my dogs safe and well-behaved. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners. - Salt Lake City, Utah - September 2025
