Los Angeles dog trainer Alexandra Bassett.
 

Alexandra Bassett is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and the lead dog trainer and behavior specialist at Dog Savvy Los Angeles. Originally from Martha’s Vineyard, she has worked as a professional dog trainer and shelter volunteer for over 15 years.

Alexandra (also known as Lexi) has studied under World Champion Dog Trainer, Susan Garrett, and counts Andrea Arden and Dr. Sophia Yin as the other major influences on her positive training approach and philosophy.

She believes choice & reinforcement-based dog training methodology—otherwise known as game-based dog training—is the most progressive form of positive reinforcement dog training available today and actively discourages the use of correction-based dog training methodology.

She has developed Dog Savvy Los Angeles's breakthrough behavior modification training programs for solving leash reactivity, aggression, and dog separation anxiety based on her studies of the teachings of Susan Garrett, Pat Miller, Patricia McConnell, Kevin Behan, and Grisha Stewart.
