Outcast Academy Training & Behavior and Alex have been an absolute game-changer for me and my dog, Bentley! We attended the Intro to Cooperative Handling course, which ran for five weeks, meeting once a week, and it was an incredible experience.
Alex’s knowledge, patience, and dedication to positive reinforcement training are truly unmatched. She creates a learning environment that is both structured and supportive, ensuring that both dogs and their owners feel confident every step of the way. Bentley, who can sometimes be a bit stubborn, responded so well to the techniques Alex taught, and I left each session with a deeper understanding of how to build trust and cooperation with him.
It’s clear that Alex is passionate about what she does and is constantly evolving her methods to help dogs of all backgrounds and personalities. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and will set you and your dog up for success, look no further than Outcast Academy Training & Behavior . Highly recommend!

Alex, owner of Outcast Academy, has truly changed the game in helping your pets thrive. Her continual education, extensive in depth experience, and evolving techniques makes her the most qualified and best trainer for pets with all different personalities, fears, and pasts. I worked with Alex since we brought our puppy home and she is my first call the moment I have any questions as to his behavior and care, or new apprehensions. Each call is met with compassion, professionalism, and a plan to make sure our pup is feeling safe and secure in all circumstances. Finding someone to trust with your fur family members is no easy task and I couldn’t recommend Alex enough. Her patience and dedication to true positive reinforcement training is second to none. Best in the business!

Just took her on a long line sniff walk on those corner lots and a group of 5-6 kids came around on bikes and scooters, she had zero reaction to them!! She's doing really well with you!

I've been playing with her while watching the videos and it's seriously night and day! We really appreciate you!

Her groomer said she was like a new dog, she had very little reactivity to the water hose & let her dry her with zero issues
