Annalissa Johnson is the Head Trainer at That's My Dog!, Inc. in Hazel Green, WI .   She attended Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa and majored in Biology/Environmental Studies.  During her time there she attended AuSable Institute for Environmental Studies, headed the Ecology Club, and attended leadership events around the country.

While working with her own dog, she discovered a new passion, dog training.  In order to obtain more knowledge and experience, she attended National K9 School for Dog Trainers in Columbus Ohio and opened her own training business in Rochester, Minnesota.  After hearing a lot of buzz about remote collars she attended That's My Dog! E-Cademy.  Upon completing the course, she had a better understanding of how to implement remote collars to motivate dogs, replace bad behaviors with appropriate ones, and deal with aggressive dogs. 

In February 2007 she closed her business and happily joined the That's My Dog!, Inc. staff. She is a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals, and the National K9 Dog Trainers Association.

In her free time Annalissa enjoys running (she just completed her first 5k in May), biking, camping and spending time with her two dogs Sebastian and Isabelle.
