Meet your trainer

Alyssa O'Donnell was born and raised in Derry, New Hampshire and now calls Pelham her home. Her journey into dog training began when she adopted a Redbone Coonhound and quickly encountered significant behavioral challenges. The turning point came when a dog fight broke out with her three-year-old daughter nearby. Faced with a difficult decision, she sought guidance from her veterinarian, former dog trainers, and online communities.

Through this process, she discovered a new approach to training.

This transformed her relationship with her dog and ignited her passion for helping others.

As a devoted wife and mother, Alyssa understands the importance of creating a safe and balanced home environment for the entire family.

With a background in the Army as a recruiter, she developed strong leadership and problem-solving skills, which she now applies to dog training. She worked closely with individuals of various ages and backgrounds, guiding them through career opportunities in the military.

She also holds a bachelor's degree in Health and Physical Education (K-12) and certifications in CrossFit Level 2 and Master Fitness Training. 

In her spare time, Alyssa enjoys running races with her dogs, reading, snowboarding, and spending time with friends and family. 

Whether she's on the trails with her dogs or helping owners strengthen their bond with their pets, Alyssa is dedicated to making a positive impact- one dog at a time.
