About The Professor
Hello! I’m Alissa Edmands,  The Puppy Professor!

If you hire me to work with you and your dog, you can be confident that you are
purchasing the very best training available.

The methods we will use together are caring and compassionate –
clicker training! Clicker
training is used
at premier zoos and marine mammal facilities around the world for shows to
the public as well as practical purposes: blood draws, nail trims, moving large animals with ease
(no force)
. Please see these websites for more information on clicker training and the amazing
ways it's being used with animals AND humans:
Clicker Training Reaching the Animal Mind

I graduated from the San Francisco SPCA's Academy for Dog Trainers in May of 2001
and I was the first Academy grad to participate in a two-month internship in the SF SPCA’s
Behavior and Training Department.

Please check out the great classes offered and
The Puppy Professor column in PetFolio Magazine!

I thoroughly enjoy working with you and your dog of every age, breed, and size to help
fulfill all of your training and behavior counseling needs and help your dog become the dog of
your dreams!
