We are The Dog Evolved.
We're glad you found us!
We are graduates of the prestigious Academy for Dog Trainers and studied under the world-renowned author/trainer Jean Donaldson. This rigorous two-year, science-based program, is widely considered the Harvard of dog training schools, and we earned Certificates in Training and Counseling. Carolyn has also achieved her Professional Canine Behavior Consultant Certification (PCBC-A) from the Pet Professional Guild and Alisa is a Certified Fear Free Professional.
We are strictly force-free, fear-free trainers.
Let The Dog Evolved help you!
Alisa and Carolyn discovered a shared passion for animals. They are co-founders ACT V Rescue & Rehabilitation, a rescue dedicated to rescuing and rehoming unwanted companion animals needing medical and behavioral help. They worked in communities throughout the midwest to assist in spay & neuter clinics, provide healthcare and deliver food to rural areas. The importance of behavior and training and its role in building relationships with our dogs was made clear by years of rescue work and personal experiences.
