Designing Dogs

"Alan is the best! Thanks to training our dog Charlie is able to work with us daily as our clinic CME (chief mood enhancer)!!"

"Owner of a GSD. Alan is great. I had a total of 4 evals with trainers and chose Alan as our teacher. He tells it at as it is during the eval not what he thinks you want to hear. Videos are shown to show you what you can accomplish with your puppy. The bond that I built with Piper is stronger than I have had with any of my dogs ever. I have Alan Finns Designing dogs to thank for that."

"Alan has helped me bring out more in my dogs than I could have even thought of on my own. He has taught me how to teach my dogs, not just train them to do something. My German Shepherds are living their best life with the help, guidance and teaching of Alan Finn."

"Alan Finn has given me the ability to go out and enjoy life. His understanding of dogs and his very gentle way of teaching them is amazing. After an accident that put me in a wheelchair I had no reason to go out. Alan has trained Medusa, a German Shepherd as my service dog. Alan has taught Medusa and I things I never thought were possible for a dog do to. Without her and our training I could not function as I do. She goes everywhere with me and has even been on several flights. People always say they did not know there was a dog on the plane. Yes, she has even been to Disney! My vet recommended him which says a lot. Medusa is the 3rd dog I have trained with Alan. He is always just a phone call away when I have a question and he keeps our private lessons and group class a fun and educational experience. If Alan teaches you & your dog he or she will be the best companion you ever had. Alan has given me the confidence along with Medusa to enjoy life once again."

"I was referred to Alan by 2-3 strangers in a pet store as I shopped for supplies for the German Shepherd puppy I was getting in two weeks. They all agreed he was the best. I made the call and 3 years later I continue to see him on a regular basis to continue my dogs training. My goal for training was to be able to take my dog anywhere and for her to be well behaved. I accomplished that and more with Alan’s help and guidance. When I am complimented on my girls behavior by a stranger I tell them I owe it all to Alan. I highly recommend him to anyone who loves their dog and wants to help him/her live their best life."
