Hi, I'm Alliyah! I'm a passionate dog lover and trainer dedicated to helping pets and their parents build stronger bonds. As Georgia Pet Pal's Lead Trainer & Marketing Manager, I work hand-in-hand with families to turn everyday challenges into lasting wins — whether that's mastering loose-leash walks, calming reactive behavior, or shaping a confident, well-mannered companion.
I'm an AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator, approved by the American Kennel Club to administer and certify the CGC test — the national standard for a well-mannered dog in the home and out in the community. It's a credential I'm proud of, and it means the skills we work on together aren't just my opinion of good manners: they're measured against a recognized benchmark. You don't have to take my word for it either — I'm listed in the AKC's public evaluator directory under Georgia, Kennesaw 30152.
Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love creating positive, fun experiences for every pup I work with. My approach is rooted in patience, consistency, and reading each dog as the individual they are — because no two pups learn the same way. Training, to me, is as much about supporting the human at the other end of the leash as it is about teaching the dog.
Outside of training, I enjoy content creation, photography, and spending time with my dogs — especially my Akita and bully, Suki and Keiko, who inspired a lot of my journey into the pet world. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾
