Allegra and the Naked Dog has worked miracles with my little mini-pinscher rat terrier chihuahua mix-up. When I first found him wandering the street, emaciated and collar-less, Taco was the kind of dog who would chase the Easter bunny, hump Santa's leg and take a dump on your freshly laundered sheets. Now, only a few months later, he is a total gem - sweet, loving, good around other dogs, wonderful with humans and best of all, not aggressive. Allegra immediately fixed his urge to pull on his leash in a matter of seconds and he now heels perfectly. He is a total hit with the ladies, and has earned his nickname Mister Licks. Thank you Allegra for righting the wrongs and helping socialize my little pup!

Allegra was so wonderful! We did the group training for our puppy Rufio. It made such a difference and I feel like it really help us correct bad puppy behaviors, but we also learned how to communicate better with our pup. Highly recommend!

I feel so lucky to have found Allegra and the Naked Dog.  I wish I could give her 100 stars! I've worked with a number of dog trainers in the past and improvements were "baby steps".  With Allegra, the change has been dramatic in just a few months.

Allegra is firm but gives each dog lots of individual attention and tons of love!  Moreover, she is always thinking of ways to help Lucy become more confident and balanced.  End of the day, Allegra sends me photos of Lucy walking calmly beside her horse.  Unbelievable!  

I could go on forever, but I'll just say that Lucy and I feel very fortunate to have found such a good friend in Allegra and The Naked Dog!

Working with Allegra at The Naked Dog has been great! Little did I know that most of the training would involve me, not the dog! She really helps you understand your relationship with your pup from the perspective of the dog, and understanding that-how your dog sees a behavior as opposed to how we humans might interpret it has been eye opening. I can see now why getting down to the basics is key to making real change and developing the best relationship with your dog. Allegra really helped me do that and achieve my goals with Pixal, my wonderfully independent, stubborn, people loving canine. Highly recommended!

I don't even know where to begin when writing a review for Allegra.  We moved to Austin and realized pretty quickly how misbehaved our beloved 2-year-old labradoodle was (she had a ton of energy!).  After extensive research and interviews, we knew The Naked Dog was the right fit.  Little did we know how much Allegra would change our lives for the better.  She worked with us daily on training and working with our dog to get her to be the best dog she could be.  Since Allegra has worked with her, I am happy to report that Chloe is much better on a leash, will listen when called, is happier, and just an overall well-behaved dog.  This is a huge difference from before.  

If you are looking for a dog trainer with long-lasting results, The Naked Dog is the best business to choose, you won't be disappointed!

I am so thankful for Allegra and all she has done for my 4 year old doxie-mix Hunter. He was attacked by a dog last year and developed fear-based aggression and leash reactivity making it almost impossible for me to walk him anywhere. Hunter is such a loving dog inside the home with other people but as soon as he gets outside and see's other dogs he becomes a terrifying aggressive dog it and I was scared he would attack a dog or even worse a person. The Naked Dog's approach to dog behavior and retraining the humans was life changing. I had no idea how much my behavior really impacted Hunter. Allegra was so responsive to our training needs and really customized our experience to make sure we got Hunter to where he needed to be in his training. I am continually working on our training as this is a lifestyle change and is not a 'quick fix'. You gotta put in the work everyday but the fundamentals that Allegra taught us are the key to our continued success. I hands down would recommend giving The Naked Dog a call if you are looking for long term training success for you and your furry baby!

Allegra is professional but so warm; she's also incredibly responsive, caring, and obviously in love with her job and her four-legged clients.  We now have a happy but calm and well-behaved dog.  In short, Allegra achieved in days what months and hundreds of dollars in training could not.  I promise you will not regret your choice either.  Spread the word!

Allegra changed me and my pup's life! I can't believe how much progress we made in our group session training. When I started, I had the craziest dog anyone had ever met. He jumped on people and furniture, leash pulled like crazy, caused a scene in public, was extremely reactive to other dogs, bit ankles and hands.   

Now, my life with my pup is much more peaceful. He is still energetic but has manners. I can take him on walks and he walks by my side and I feel in control. He no longer lunges and barks at other dogs. He no longer jumps on the table or bites me while I eat. I control him when guests come over and he doesn't jump on them. He has learned how to politely greet dogs and humans and we are still working on growing those skills together. 

My family, friends and neighbors are all in awe noting how much he has changed and how much more pleasant he has become. 

Additionally, Allegra is extremely kind, honest and reasonable. There have been times I have inquired about more expensive options like personal training and board and train and she assured me that the more affordable group training would be a good option for us. She truly wants what is best for you and your pup and treat it as an opportunity to heal your relationship between you and your dog - not just as a business opportunity. 

I would HIGHLY recommend The Naked Dog. Don't even think twice about it. She is a miracle worker!

I loved this e-course! It is so thoughtfully put together, and explained in a way that it'll instantly shift your way of thinking about your interactions with your dog. Allegra focuses more on the energy between you and your dog then any dog training I've seen before. Focusing on the energy between my dog and I has made training him easier and fun. I already see so many improvements in him, and in myself as a dog owner.

Amazing! Ever since our first day with The Naked Dog we were able to implement what we learned and almost instantly saw a change in our dog. I am so impressed with Allegra’s knowledge and how she’s able to break down everything she knows and make it very easy to digest and understand. I look forward to working with her more and couldn't recommend her more! High quality training with lessons that work almost instantly! She also makes training really enjoyable. Thank you!

Although I am an experienced dog owner, it's been a few years. Allegra had some great advice- several things that I had not considered. Moreover, she was thorough in explaining things to members of my family who don't have dog experience.We are several months in with The Naked Dog. But I noticed a marked improvement in our walks and my dogs overall behavior, almost immediately. The service is professional, extremely convenient and educational. Our pup gets very excited as soon as Allegra shows up. Upon her return, she is satiated, which is quite an achievement for our very high energy dog. I highly recommend The Naked Dog and can only reinforce the 5/5 reviews.
