Alicia’s experience

  • About Alicia

    The companionship, love and respect of my dogs is very important to me. I take time each day with them individually to bond and train when I’m not working. All my time is dedicated to my kids dogs and family.

  • What makes Alicia’s program special

    Our puppies are home raised & we work on puppy pad training starting at 4 weeks old and work on outside potty training starting @ 6-7 weeks old. First set of shots, dewormed, microchipped and Baer testing. We go the extra mile to make sure the puppies go to their homes prepared for training and the love expected from the buyers.
