Ali started For Them Dog Training in 2022 as a way to help owners have a happy and peaceful relationship with their dog. As someone who has owned and fostered difficult behavior cases since her first dog, Max, she has a wide variety of hands on experience with all types of dogs and issues. After getting her certification in 2021, Ali jumped right in to dog training and has dedicated every minute of her life to dogs in need. Ali's favorite type of behavior to work with is leash reactivity, and has a soft spot in her heart for pitbull type dogs, as well as Bernese Mountain Dogs. Ali has a daughter, Charli, and is expecting a son in the near future. She also has 3 bonus kids, Logan, Landon and Paisley, and 4 dogs (Manicotti, Ella, Timber, and Chewy) that make her family full!
Meet Rick! Rick is the backup trainer and boarding help with For Them Dog Training! Rick has owned and loved dogs his entire life, and after adopting an anxious, reactive dog from BVSPCA in 2021, he learned how to love dogs that need extra support too. Rick fosters with PHBT and has spent the last 3 years learning everything he can to become a dog trainer himself. He has shadowed Ali and is starting the process of becoming a certfied trainer! Rick is a die hard Eagles fan and a super dad. Golden Retrievers and Huskies are Rick's all time favorite pups to work with and own and his dream is to eventually have another husky in the house! Rick's favorite thing to train dogs on is recall and loose leash walking!
