Welcome to Allie's Champion Dog Training, LLC
It's my motto to "unleash the greatness of your dog" because I believe with the right support and technique your dog can be amazing!
I have over 20 years experience in dog training, boarding and competitive dog sports and have trained puppies and adult dogs successfully.
I follow LIMA prinicples for all instances, never punishing your dog or using harsh tools. I am available for private training courses in your home/neighborhood so that what your dog learns is easily applied in its native environment.
I can travel to Seattle, Shoreline, Kirkland, Bothell, Bellevue, Redmond, Lynwood, and surrounding areas.
Training Philosophy
Your Champion dog follows the LIMA effective behavior intervention policy to ensure a healthy and successful approach to training.
As described on the CCPDT website, LIMA principles follow a hierarchy which is important for effective training and successful behavior modification.
Almost all vets agree that positive reinforcement training is the most effective method of dog training. Positive reinforcement training essentially focuses on rewarding your pet for good behavior, rather than punishing bad behavior.
I've followed this method with my own and client dogs for more than 20 years and have seen the great bond you can foster through positive reinforcement with a focus on wellness, and antecedent arrangements when needed.
Does that mean TONS of treats?
A common question I get is doesn't this training method encourage dogs to beg for treats? This common misconception often is spread by trainers using harsh methods. The truth is that there are many kinds of positive reinforcement types and treats are only one tool in my toolbox. Your dog will learn to respond to commands for everything from treats and toys to praise!

Allie Is also very reliable when it comes to my house, she keeps me updated and lets me know if something is not working as it should. I would highly recommend!
Testimonial
Wow -- Allie and her daughter were a perfect match for our pets. It was lovely to see that Milo the guinea pig was out and about every day and that Oliver the doggo was happy and cared for (especially since he had medication that he had to take). Gary the cat came out soon after we left showing he wasn't afraid of the new people in the house. Allie left the house in great shape, doing the laundry and making the bed, and cleaning up before she left (honestly it might have been cleaner than when we left). We cannot wait to have them return.
Testimonial
We are so grateful that Allie and her young daughter took care of our dog Stella while we were on vacation. Just a couple days before we left, Stella went into heat and was significantly more challenging to care for. This is where Allie’s experience with dogs really shone through. Despite Stella needing extra care and attention, Allie handled it all with good humor and kindness. Allie was a great communicator, keeping us in the loop throughout as needed. When we arrived home, the house was tidy. We would definitely recommend Allie for future housesits!
