Alysha M. Kloeckner

United States

Alysha M. Kloeckner

Alysha graduated from Moraine Park Technical College in 2014 with an associate’s degree in Business Management and graduated from University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in Human Services and Leadership. Prior to opening A Dog’s Tale LLC, Alysha worked in education and case management roles. This professional experience shaped her ability to work with not only dogs but their guardians too. Alysha has extensive training in motivational interviewing, conflict resolution, and trauma informed care which contributes to her compassionate approach while working with clients.

There is a special dog who has influenced Alysha’s journey, her dog Diesel who is the inspiration for A Dog’s Tale LLC. Alysha adopted Diesel in 2011 and after having him home for a short time it became evident that he had some significant behavior needs. She knows that sharing life with a dog that is struggling can be emotionally taxing but you don’t have to navigate that alone. There is help!

Training Philosophy

Alysha believes in treating both dogs and their guardians with compassion and support. She values force-free, scientifically sound training methods.

Services

Alysha provides professional dog training services to the central Wisconsin community through private sessions, day-training, and stay & train services.

  • Get to know your trainer, discuss your training goals, and determine what services best fit those goals. The consultation can be completed in the comfort of your home or virtually.

  • Individual Sessions - $95.00/hour

Stay & Train:

  • Stay & Train is a service offered where your dog stays at our facility for a minimum two week stay. Stay & Train is not a quick fix for every behavior problem and not all training goals are appropriate for this service. We can help you determine if this service is appropriate for your training goals.
  • Stay & Train Cost: $900/week.
  • Dogs must be up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations as well as flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
  • Dogs with behavior challenges such as aggression (human or dog directed) or separation anxiety are not appropriate for this service. Please reach out about other services that can support you with those challenges!

Coming Soon:

  • Wellness Boarding
  • Wellness boarding is designed to reduce stress and keep your companion safe and enriched while you are away. This service is for dogs who have behavioral sensitivities and may not be successful in a traditional boarding environment. Wellness boarding does not include any formal training. This service is reserved for training clients and referrals from force-free colleagues.
  • Ask us about “wellness visits” to acclimate your companion to our facility prior to a stay!

Customer Reviews

“Alysha is amazing. SO professional. Awesome communication over the entire two week board and train. I completely trust her guidance and training techniques. Highly recommend Dog Training by Alysha to everyone I know.”
— Sam Rich

“Even in a class setting, everything is personalized to what will be most beneficial to your dog. My family’s nervous girl needs some socialization involving people and dogs, and as a (very) overprotective and selective person, there is no one else I would trust with her training. I can not say enough good things about Alysha. As someone who works in an animal hospital, her guidance in cooperative care is insanely helpful, and how excited she gets for you reaching (even the seemingly smallest) milestones with your own pet make it impossible to not stay motivated. Thank you SO much Alysha for all you do and continue to do!”
— George & Charlie

“Alysha was so patient and listened to the concerns I had with Finn and designed training to fit his learning style. She takes time in classes to work with each dog/owner individually. Everyone at a dog’s tale has a positive upbeat personality which makes classes extremely enjoyable. I have taken 3 classes with Finn and would recommend them all.”
— Michaela Mae Fox
