The Allison Method
Training For Real People, Real Dogs, Real Situations
 |
"I have two dogs, Tabo and Balto.
They're both wonderful dogs. I wanted to get them into advanced
training. And after meeting Frank at Dogfest, and then visiting a
class, I was sold on The Allison Method. During his live sessions,
I am so impressed at the close interaction the dogs have with each
other. That's what sold me. I take both Balto and Tabo with me on
canoe excursions in the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. You better
believe I need well trained and obedient dogs. They are!" |

"The Humane Society gave me Frank's name and number when I
needed help with Lika and Lakota. They fought all the time. I could
not keep them together for a minute.
Since the first 'Allison method' session, they have not fought
since. And now, I'm using The Allison Method to start my own dog
training service.

"Kiara was a rescue dog -- she was
sent to rescue because she was very dog aggressive. On Christmas
Day, she snuck out of the house, ran accross the street and bit a
neighbor's dog -- and then snuck back in the house. When the police
arrived I was served with a ticket and was told I needed to pay the
fine and $700 in emergency vet bills (on Christmas Day -- not
cheap). The city was demanding that we put her down or get her
trained. Another trainer refused me and told me to call Frank.
Without The Allison Method of Dog Training, she'd be gone. We're
now able to take Kiara to the dog park unleashed. She's as good as
gold now." |

"Frank,
Thanks so much for helping us with our pug and pekingese. We have
noticed a big change in all of us. We are grateful to all you have
taught us." |

"Frank,
You have a true gift with dogs - you not only talk to them, you
commune with them, You are kind, patient, gentle, yet firm -- one
of the most decent people I've met. The world needs more like
you." |

| "I can't say enough about Frank as a
trainer, especially with german shepherds and other dogs that
present problems that many other trainers find difficult to handle.
The dogs really seem to enjoy the classes and Frank keeps them
varied and interesting." |

"I was having problems with an 8-month-old German Shepherd puppy
which I could not control around new people or dogs. Our family has
had eight dogs and this is the first one I have had any problems
controlling using basic methods. It was embarassing to admit I had
no clue how to proceed.
I was given Frank's name by a traditional trainer who told me Frank
worked with problem dogs.
My dog and I have benefitted tremendously from our association with
Frank Allison. So much that I continue to train with him each week.
We have completed basic training and are now working on personal
protection training. We hope to compete in AKC & UKC sponsored
events in the future. I highly recommend 'The Allison Method' to
anyone who needs help controlling their dog's behavior."

| "I have been training my dogs with
Frank for about one year. He has taught me a number of things about
dogs and also shows much patience while working with the handlers
and the dogs. My dog was kennel-blind and lacked the confidence it
needed to be a good protection dog. Frank was able to give him
confidence and train him to be a great working dog. Frank has
taught me how to gain control of situations that may occur in my
home or out in the street. My dogs and I have learned a lot from
Frank Allison and I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking
for a great dog trainer." |

| "We met with Frank Allison a couple
of times after the purchase of our Labrador Retriever puppy. Frank
has a wonderful approach to dogs and kids! We have been to numerous
other dog training classes with another dog of ours and Frank's
techniques, by far, have been the most helpful. In fact, when we
attended a puppy socialization class in one of the Madison (WI) dog
training clubs, I felt we seriously digressed in training because
we were not able to restrain or correct our pup in any way. The dog
knew she was being allowed to be in charge. Simply put, I would
recommend Frank Allison to anyone who wants to learn how to
effectively train their dog, from puppy to adulthood." |

Dear Mr. Frank Allison,
I am writing in regards to my dog Mickey. He is a seven year-old
Yorkshire Terrier and has never had any formal training. After just
one session of your method in combination with the pinch collar, he
is like a different dog.
I didn't think it was posible to stop his barking at anything and
everything that moved but he is so mellow now he is a joy to have
around.
He was not a social animal because he would never behave around
other animals. His constant and relentless harassment of other dogs
always lead him to getting hurt.
I cannot thank you enough for all the help. I only wish we would've
known about you years before all the vet bills and painful
surgeries my poor Mickey had to endure because of his bad
behavior." |

"We got Samson as a puppy. When he
was about one-and-a-half, we could tell he had real problems with
other people and other dogs. When he bit my folks, we knew we had
to do something.
"We tried a couple other trainers and they all told us Samson was
vicious, could not be helped and needed to be put down. Those
trainers were afraid to even touch Samson.
"It was then I saw Frank's sign on the road. I took Samson in
muzzled. Frank had the muzzle off in five minutes. The first
session was amazing. And we've been taking Samson to
work with Frank ever since.
"And now Samson is a Grand Champion in UKC, has all Rally Titles in
AKC, has his Companion Titles in UKC & AKC and his BH in
Schutzhund. He's a great dog who was given one more chance -- by
Frank Allison.
"How good is Samson now? Last week he walked in a parade. That
could've never happened prior to meeting Frank." |

"My name is Cindy Leckwee. We have
four cats, 4 dogs, 2 piranas and always lots of children at our
house. Of the four dogs, we have three because they were burned or
beaten or tormented by misbehaved children.
We received Bear, a two year old Black Lab, 3-4 months ago. He had
bitten two children and was spending 10 days at the Vet Clinic,
then he was to be put to sleep.
The previous owners called us as we have Bear's sister, Lucky. So
we took Bear.
He was hyper, growled at our 16 year old daughter, started dog
fights with our dogs and the policeman's dog next door. Something
had to be done. We were referred to Frank Allison's obedience
class.
Frank is very careful.
Our 16 year-old daughter started working with Bear.
Since he started with Frank, Bear has not been in the least bit
aggressive.
He is also non-aggressive towards our dogs or cats.
He has the best spirit - always wagging his tail - a very loving
dog.
Frank says there is to be no yelling, hitting or raising of voices
to dogs.
I definitely recommend Frank to friends who need to train their
dogs."

"I own a three-year-old Akita,
Georgie, whose aggression was becoming considerably worse as she
grew older. It was to the point where we could not allow Georgie
near children, strangers, other animals and even some people she
has known for her entire life for fear that she may bite. Her
biting was not severe but unpredictable. It was apparent she needed
professional help.
As soon as Frank interacted with Georgie, I could tell his approach
was unique. The previous trainer was scared of Georgie and would
not handle her.
Within a couple of minutes he analyzed her condition as fear
(and yes, she did try to bite him). Frank led Georgie into the
kennel with the other dogs and began teaching her how to
socialize.
I cannot begin to effectively explain the feeling of hope I had
as I drove home that day.
I am so grateful to Frank for his hard work and dedication. It's
apparent he loves what he does and it shows in his work and the
results he provides." |

"I am the owner of a nine-month-old
Basset Hound named Cletus. Cletus is a cute, lovable dog with an
aggression problem. He has bitten my wife three times and me
twice.
With each bite my wife and I agreed aggression cannot be tolerated
and the risk of owning a biting dog it too great.
Our friends highly recommended a man named Frank Allison. We
decided to talk to Frank because we knew the alternative would be
to take him to the humane society (and everyone knows what happens
from there).
We told Frank if we were unable to control Cletus, we would have
him euthanized.
Frank went to the shelf and pulled out a tiny pinch collar and put
it on Cletus and was able to make significant progress in only 15
minutes." |

| "Frank Allison is a wonderful trainer
and we don't know what we'd do without him. Frank is the main
reason for Pepper being as well behaved as he is. He puts a lot of
love into his training. Frank is not only Pepper's trainer, but a
true friend also." |

of the personal attention that you have given to us and our dog.
You have given us several suggestions for problems that we had with
her and everything you suggested has been effective." |

"I have had the pleasure of owning 8
dogs. I have hounds and bird dogs.
The training program we use is Frank Allison's and it is the wisest
thing I have ever done in regards to training dogs.
Our dogs have learned to be responsive to our commands.
Dogs are important to us. Training with Frank the dogs understand
and behave...this was all accomplished thanks to Frank and his
program." |
