Meet Alex Hollifield, a professional dog trainer who recently relocated to Colorado Springs from North Carolina. Alex is thrilled to be part of this wonderful community and is eager to share her expertise in dog training that was started on the East Coast!
With five years of professional dog training experience, Alex has had the privilege of learning from some of the most experienced trainers across the country. A passion for dogs has been a constant in Alex's life from a young age, and each day is cherished as an opportunity to do what she loves.
Alex's personal connection to dogs goes beyond the profession. She shares her life with her two extraordinary best friends, Boone and Sarge, who hold an incredibly special place in her heart. These pups have not only been loyal friends, but also invaluable teachers, guiding personal and professional growth. Together they enjoy spending their time exploring the stunning landscapes that Colorado has to offer, embarking on hikes and taking in the breathtaking scenery.
As a dog trainer, Alex's primary goal is to help dog owners build a strong and lasting bond with their furry family members. Alex is dedicated to assisting others in creating a fulfilling and harmonious life with their beloved pups, characterized by love, trust, and unforgettable moments.

Testimonials

Alex trained worked with us and our dogs from 2020 until her move out of North Carolina in 2023. She made my human aggressive HuskyX fall in love with her and my shyer-than-most Belgian call her a friend as well. There was nothing more comforting than knowing that our dogs were safe in her hands when we needed a little extra help. We cannot recommend her enough!

Alex was the absolute best trainer I could have come across! My dog Russell had some food anxiety, as well as separation anxiety and she was extremely knowledgeable in helping us! She listened to all my concerns and gave us the ability to grow my dog and I’s bond!
