Get your dog's free training read

Eight questions, a read on screen, then a reply from Alisa.

Question 1 of 8

First, who are we reading?

Age
Exact age, if you know it

Free. The last step asks where Alisa should reply.

What's going on with your dog?

Pick everything that applies.

How long has this been going on?

Roughly is fine.

What have you tried so far?

Pick everything that applies. No judgement: your answers go to Alisa with your read.

How do walks feel right now?

Honest answer, not the good-day version.

What are you hoping for most?

Pick one.

When would you like to start?

There is no wrong answer here.

Where should Alisa reply?

Your read appears on the next screen. Alisa replies personally, usually within a day.

Where are you?

Free, no obligation.

Reading your dog's answers

    Sound familiar?

    Walks that have stopped being fun.

    Pulling so hard your arm aches
    Lunging at dogs or people
    No recall, no off switch
    An anxious dog that never settles

    A calmer dog starts with a calmer walk.

    Before you book

    Quick questions.

    Is it really free?

    Yes. A genuine, no-obligation read on your dog. No catch, no pressure to book afterwards.

    Which areas do you cover?

    Estepona, Marbella and across the Costa del Sol, including Sotogrande. Not nearby? Online coaching works anywhere.

    My dog is reactive or anxious. Can you help?

    Yes. Reactivity and anxiety are the most common reasons owners come to Locus. We start gently, at your dog's pace.

    What methods do you use?

    Calm, relationship-first training built on your timing and leadership. No shouting, no gimmicks.

    What happens after I send the form?

    Alisa replies personally, usually within a day. If you want to work together, the next step is a single private session: 60 minutes, in your home or at the training location, at $90. Outside the Costa del Sol it is a Video Review at $40. No obligation either way.

    Where to start

    No pressure, no chasing.

    The read is free. Alisa replies personally, and you decide whether to go further.
