So far Ryan has been amazing. He's really assisted with improving Jazz's recall and correcting some puppy behaviors that could be an issue in the future. The lessons have been fun and informative. Im looking forward to the future lessons and what possible the pup and me can accomplish.

I had a great experience working with Aliyah as my pup Lonnie’s trainer over 6 sessions. She’s extremely knowledgeable and does an excellent job clearly articulating each session so everything feels structured and easy to follow. Her approach is practical and effective, and I saw noticeable improvements in Lonnie’s behavior in a short amount of time. She’s patient, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who is organized, knowledgeable, and delivers real results.

My dog is a pandemic puppy and unfortunately missed out on the obedience training he needed early on. He’s also quite stubborn as a Shiba Inu, so we knew we needed extra help. We enrolled him in day school training at OTSFD and have been very pleased with the results. Ryan has been incredibly patient and clearly knows his stuff, especially when it comes to teaching us how to continue the training during our weekend one-on-one sessions. We also had to reschedule twice last year due to health issues, both times at the last minute, and OTSFD was very accommodating without charging any additional fees. I highly recommend OTSFD for dog training! It’s been a great experience, and it feels good to support a local business.

Look no further than the historic Olde Towne School for Dogs for all of your fur-baby needs. While we have long been committed clients of their incredible grooming and customer service teams, we recently had the distinct privilege of working with the phenomenal Aliyah for obedience sessions with our 4-year-old Mini Schnauzer — and it was nothing short of transformative. Aaliyah’s depth of knowledge, warm professionalism, and attentive, tailored approach clearly reflect someone who is passionate about her craft. Her coaching style not only connected with our dog — it empowered us as pet parents with practical techniques, confidence and clarity. Ask anyone at a local dog park in Alexandria and you’ll hear the same theme repeatedly: Olde Towne School for Dogs isn’t just a service… it’s a community of trusted experts, improving the daily lives of families one dog at a time. Kudos to Aliyah and the entire OTSFD Team. Exceptional, every single time. Aggie & Family

I love OTSD all the members are so lovely and kind and really love your dog. After one week we could see the positive change from our puppy Jonah (Yorkie + Havanese Mix). They are pricey but we 100% recommend. Jonah absolutely love his trainer Chris! Chris is very patient with Jonah and does a great job of keeping us in the loop and training us to keep up with Jonah’s new skills !
