Jennifer and ‘Dembe’
Allison’s puppy graduate class was exactly what I was looking for. Her energetic and upbeat attitude and positive reinforcement techniques made training fun and easy for us. She also provided excellent solutions to redirect unwanted puppy behaviours both in class and in private training sessions. We are looking forward to the next class!
Thank you from Chico
We immediately felt at ease with Allison and her training strategies. She was not only great with our little dog Chico, but with our whole family. Allison took the time to teach all of us how to work with Chico and was such an encouragement. Chico is working on becoming a little gentleman thanks to…

“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Allison Groff. I have known Allison for six years now. Since Stanley, my Husky/German Shepard was a new puppy. Right away I knew Allison was special. She is patient, supportive and was sensitive to Stanley’s needs during class. As well as my own. She is a very responsible…
John Rynn and Catherine Shaw ‘Sydney’
“Our puppy Sydney, and our entire family, have benefited from Allison’s incredible training skills. We started with some private training, then puppy classes and with Sydney now 11 months, she is so well behaved. She can go anywhere with us; farmer’s market, dog-friendly stores, hikes, visiting family or friends. We can be confident that she…
Johnny and ‘Patty’
“I’ve had a great experience working with Allison Groff of Always Focused Dogs, and my dog Patty surely feels the same. Whether it’s tackling behavioral issues (in Patty’s case, socializing with other canines) or teaching simple or complex dog tricks, Allison does it all. She’s always got another trick up her sleeve and consistently prioritizes…
Gloria and ‘Millie’
“After 3 weeks with my new puppy, now 11 weeks, I questioned my decision and my sanity. I was ill equipped to deal with the demands and challenges of shaping a happy and well behaved dog. From the edge of my last nerve, I wrote a desperate email to Allison of Always Focused Dogs. Through…
