As your dog trainer, my mission is to foster harmony between pet owners and their canine companions. I prioritize understanding both ends of the leash—the human and the dog—to craft personalized training plans that ensure mutual happiness and fulfillment. Raising a dog surely takes a village, and I am committed to being a supportive part of the team in your dog’s corner.

Hi, I’m Alyse Mineroff
CPDT-KA
Meet the hungry dogs
Hunter
Hunter is a German Shepherd who I raised from puppyhood to be a guide dog. While he excelled in the program, he was not qualified to guide due to a minor medical issue. We adopted him back as our forever pet, and he has since become my companion dabbling in dog sports and was my partner dog during my KPA program and certification!
Samus
Samus is a Samoyed who is quite fearful of the world around her. She has taught me so much about supporting a fearful dog and has no doubt made me a better trainer. She has since gained so much confidence. In true Sammy fashion, she enjoys woo-ing, chasing frogs and rabbits, and terrorizing her older brother.
Ahri
Ahri is a German Shepherd who joined the pack to participate in dog sports! She is spunky and smart, and will be training in the sport of Schutzhund/IGP as well as others. A much more intense dog than my other two, she certainly keeps me on my toes. I can’t wait to see her reach her potential as she matures!
My approach
At Hungry Dog Training, we use a rewards-based approach that empowers dogs to make the right choices. We ensure a non-judgmental environment where you are encouraged to learn alongside your dog. Our goal is to foster harmonious relationships by teaching both you and your dog the skills needed to thrive together.
