She teaches a variety of classes at Ahimsa, including Puppy Elementary, Puppy Fun and Focus, Sports Sampler, Public Manners, Intro to Rally Obedience, and more.

After you register for a session, you will complete a comprehensive history form online for Allie to read before the session. That way, she can get right to work helping you and your dog have a better future, rather than spending the whole time learning about your dog’s past in the first session. This saves you time and money.

During the session, your trainer will ask you some additional questions during the first portion to get a complete picture of your dog’s issue(s). After that, she will teach you how to use the most appropriate, modern, dog-friendly techniques, based on what is the best fit for your dog and your family.

When you register, your confirmation email will also include login information, so that you can log in to change your schedule, if needed.

We offer a Growly Dog class at Ahimsa in Seattle for aggression and reactivity to other dogs.  If your dog is reactive to humans and has bitten, you would need a private session with Amber Hardin. Please call 206-364-4072 or email info@doggiezen.com to help you find the best training option for your dog.
