BEYOND THE BEHAVIOR PLANS
(because trust and rapport matter as much as credentials)
Joyfully Chasing a Child’s Energy
My family keeps me laughing, learning, and always moving; being a mom teaches me about nurturing resilience and independence in humans, too.
From West Coast to East Coast
I grew up in sunny San Diego, but I’ve called the DMV area home since 2003. I traded palm trees for cherry blossoms, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sharing Life With a Precious Pup
My little terrier is the kindest, most sensitive soul. Unless I’m out and about, she’s never far from my side—whether I’m working, playing, or just walking around the house.

Real Results. Real Relief. Real Peace.
We are so thankful to Home Alone Canine for helping us with our dog, Roscoe. When we moved to our new home, he experienced separation anxiety, and we weren’t able to leave him alone. He was very destructive and highly reactive when we left.
Alexandra was an incredible help, and she provided us with step-by-step support. She also helped us identify some underlying issues that we were able to discuss with our vet.
While we started slowly with time away, it was deliberate and thoughtful. Now we are able to leave Roscoe for extended periods of time, and he is calm. We couldn’t be more grateful for Alexandra’s help!
