After getting nowhere with another trainer and being on the brink of giving up, my Australian Shepherd Maverick entered the two week board and train training program with Omega Paws. Each evening, after spending the day working and training Maverick, Alexx would send me pictures and/or video updates, along with explanations of the things they were working on, and also what I needed to know to continue working with Maverick after he returned home. And each night I would watch the videos and cry happy tears. I couldn't believe that was my dog! Maverick responded so well with Alexx. And after two weeks, he was ready to come home. I couldn't believe it! And I was so afraid that I was going to mess something up and that my dog would never behave for me the way he had for Alexx. But I was wrong! From the day Maverick came home I could tell he was a different dog already. I paid close attention to the things that Alexx trained ME to know. And every day I continue to work with Maverick the way that we were taught. I was never fearful of the tools that Alexx employed while training Maverick. I knew that proper use of a prong collar would not hurt Maverick. And to the contrary, Maverick responded much better to that, than to having a slip lead noose around his neck. With a slip lead Maverick with pull himself so hard he could've done damage to his esophagus. But with the prong collar, he no longer pulled on his leash. I also was never afraid of using the E collar. From day one, Alexx showed me proper use of the E collar. And he even demonstrated it to me, having me hold it in my hand to feel the vibration. I know that the E collar does not harm Maverick in any way, it's simply a gentle reminder for him to make good decisions. And it works. Since Maverick came back home, I actually rarely need to even press the button to make the E collar vibrate. However, if Maverick needs a reminder, it is a tool that has proven to be extremely useful. Maverick no longer pulls when on leash. He walks next to me and heels very well. And when we encounter other dogs and he begins to bristle, as if he were going to react, all I have to do is remind him to heel. If I see that he is starting to forget, I hit the button for the E collar control. For Maverick I have it set at 15, which is pretty low, and usually one tap is all it takes to get him back on track! Sometimes all I have to do is touch the controller and he responds without me even pushing the button! It's like it's ingrained in him already. And it works! Maverick came home, such a better dog! And since then he and I have been able to bond in a way that we weren't able to in the months prior to him going to Omega Paws. Maverick now has a better understanding of what he needs to do, and he follows directions much better. He understands when I tell him to go to his place, and he stays there. He also understands when he is supposed to be in his crate, and he goes in without a fight. I love our walks because on leash he is amazing! And he has not reacted in the same manner towards another dog since returning from Omega Paws, so I no longer have that fear of being injured when he's on leash. He is much better mannered. And I have no doubt that within the year I will be able to get him certified to become a working Therapy Dog with me! And barely a year old he's still a puppy, and he's not perfect. But he is so much better than he was, and our relationship is so much better as well! And believe me when I say that my dog is much calmer, and he does not need a treadmill! He just needed to learn boundaries, and we needed to bond! That's something that we weren't able to do with the previous training. We had such a good experience with Omega Paws, that once Maverick had come home and we saw the difference in him, we decided to have Alexx and his team train our two small dogs as well. They are both Chihuahua mixes, and or were foster fails. One is 10 years old and the other is eight years old, so they are pretty set in their ways! But we wanted to give them basically the same foundation that Maverick had so that they all had the same understanding. And while they are not quite as good as Maverick, they are definitely much improved. They definitely understand boundaries much better, and they behave better on leash! I cannot say enough about Alexx and Luis, and all of Omega Paws. I was literally on the verge of giving up, and contemplating surrendering my dog because I knew that I could not go on the way that we were. And that's a terrible feeling to have when you love a dog! Omega Paws gave me back my dog, and also self-confidence. I am so grateful to them for all they've done for my family. And I can't wait to see what my future holds with Maverick by my side! A million thanks to you, Omega Paws! read more

Omega Paws - Maverick - Pet Training Near Me

It has been a month since Maya graduated Omega Paws. I will not lie, I was very worried about the fact the Maya would be taken for the duration of her training and I had a lot of questions. However, Alexx took the time to answer each question in detail and listed to our concerns. During her training, we received videos and pictures with a short summary of how she did that day. On the day we met with Alexx, we practiced what she had been training. During the following week, Alexx check on how Maya was doing, which was great as we were all adjusting and trying to continue the training at home. Overall, we saw a great difference in her behavior. We have continued to work on what was taught to us. She's doing well, and with more practice she continues to improve and is doing great. I would highly recommend Omega Paws! read more

I was having hard trouble finding a good trainer for my puppy his a German Shepherd Husky Mix which is two different haha. But I got in connected with 4 other places and they couldn't give me good details just went with what I said Omega Paws was one that I found on my Instagram add and wow I'm so grateful I was able to find them. When Alexx gave me a call he really broke down everything in details and answered all my questions with good response. At the end, I decided to choose them to train my puppy Duke. I choose the 3week program and boarding I was also able to do payments with them which was a great choice. 3 weeks away from my baby Duke was hard. However, it was a great choice he basically had his own personal Trainer Javier and Evelyn. They did an amazing job. They kept me updated almost everyday send me videos and photos. Each day they will send a message in detail what they did all day. Even on how to do it or what not to do. When I got Duke back he was a complete different puppy. I was so surprised on his behavior he started to listen more and will slowly got the progress with me. When he got dropped of Javier went through every detail with me and answered my questions. Know he waits for his food look a good boy, respects my family without jumping on to them, walks became more easy, no more pulling or biting. For him to be a puppy at 5m was amazing. They also offer boarding and I would choice them again! They also offered boarding, i went to a trip and my puppy Duke who is know 9m needed to board. Got in contact with Alexx I was able to choice Javier which I was blessed about. He did an amazing job with my puppy. During his boarding time I still got updates on his daily base photos/videos. I did a right choice by choosing Omega Paws. Couldn't as for a better Trainer. Thank you guys so much for caring, training, and loving my puppy Duke as he was part of your family. read more

I worked with Javier from Omega. Javier picked Henry up and sent me daily videos and written reports with tips on how to succeed once my dog Henry came back. What I really liked was the trainer takes your dog into their home so someone is with them around the clock. The dog is not left in a kennel but becomes part of the family in the trainers home. My dog had an ear infection and Javier gave the medicine as instructed and it was clear by the time I was home. I felt very comfortable leaving the dog with Omega and I would board my dog with Javier if there ever was a need. Sadly, Henry is sulking now because he misses Javier. I would recommend Javier without hesitation. read more

Omega Paws is wonderful! I spoke with several dog trainers before choosing Omega Paws because Alexx put us at ease from the first phone call. As first time dog owners, Alexx has been incredible at answering our questions and providing us guidance. Our puppy, Whinston, went through their board and train program and came back with great training, including how to sit calmly even when people come by, manners at the front door, and how to walk nicely with the leash. All the trainers that interacted with Whinston were all excellent. We loved the regular videos and articles from the training on the app. As a result of the program, we have been able to take Whinston to restaurants, on city walks, and to the park with other dogs and he has been well-behaved and manageable for us. And when our pup has misbehaved, Alexx has given us strategies to work through it (because puppies will be puppies). We also plan to use Omega Paws when we travel to help Whinston brush up on his training as he grows up. Omega Paws is an impressive training program all around and our family is grateful we found them. read more

Ahead is us sending Leo to Omega Paws, we only taught him the bare basics: sit and down. He was constantly nipping, running out the door for every walk, jumping at feeding time, and could not sleep in his crate by himself at all. After the three week training program, Leo came back more confident, knowledgeable, and more fun to be around. They taught Leo not only the important commands, but also how to walk next to dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as how to manage his emotions in the crate when the trainers or people in general are not around. They also sent us daily updates and lesson plans that allowed us as dog owners to grow, learn, and reinforce the commands Leo was being taught in order to make it a happy, fun, and safe experience for all moving forward. We truly appreciate Alexx and Louis! They are amazing and we highly recommend them for dogs of all ages. We look forward to working with Omega Paws again! read more

We looked at alot of board and train companies, but finally settled on Omega Paws because of the extensive phone calls my husband and I were able to have with Alexx. He was personable, knowledgeable, and kind. I have to admit, I was a bit worried when he took her away, but it helped that our dog, Nikita liked him instantly, something we don't see often. Although we had high hopes, I couldn't imagine our rambunctious 14 month old could be anything other than her nipping, high strung self. Boy were we wrong! When Nikita came home, she was a different dog. She still has her spaz moments but overall, she is more mellow. She used to use her mouth and teeth to communicate. Now she greets us without biting. She's more cuddly. She is actually listening to us more. She is still a work in progress, but I've fallen in love with her more now that we have Nikita 2.0! read more

Omega Paws - My lovely dog Chance soaking up the sun and learning tips and techniques to be an ever better good boy - Pet Training Near Me

I am IMPRESSED. I brought my 8 month old doberman puppy for 2 weeks of board and train. Best decision ever. He was impossible to walk, wouldn't come back when I called his name (recall), and was very unruly and undisciplined, and very hard to control. Alex and his team changed my dog! When I got the first daily updated video, I already saw a HUGE difference. He is a disciplined dog, listens to commands, and is so much calmer. I chose Omega Paws, because of Alex's extremely detailed and informative phone call consultation, their daily updates through their app, and how accommodating they choose to be in the after care. I even received PDF's on after care and homework for me as the trainer. THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. When he dropped off my puppy, he gave me a detailed review of what they taught him, and was extremely patient. I highly recommend Alex and Omega Paws. They know what they are doing. It is worth EVERY penny! read more

I just received my dog Cleo back after 3 weeks and wow!! What a difference! A complete change!

I reached out to Omega Paws because I was having trouble with my pet cockatiel. She was adopted by my fiancé and I and we believe that the previous owners might've hurt her or something that caused her to have trauma with hands. When we adopted her, we adopted her with the mindset of wanting her to have freedom around the house and be able to fly at her own will, but she was just so afraid to come out of her cage and would try to bite us when we tried to pet her. We reached out to Omega Paws through instagram & Alexx reached out to us right away! He worked with our Kimberly for a couple of visits and we couldn't be happier with the results! Alexx did an amazing job at making Kimberly feel that fingers and hands are okay and will not hurt her. He's such a good trainer and if we ever get another pet we will definitely contact him to train them! 10/10 recommend to anyone who's struggling with their pets!! read more

If I could give more stars I will give you the ski Alex and company. My son and I rescued Shadow, but Shadow was extremely scared, shy and very sad. We loved Shadow since day one, but Shadow was not approachable at all. I googled for a trusted and affordable training program and I found Omega Paws. Shadow was with Omega Paws for only two weeks, and Shadow's behavior changed positively. Alex evaluated Shadow and gave us valuable tips in regard of Shadow's home care and follow up. Alex still checks on Shadow and that is priceless. Shadow is playful now, loves and enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. I cannot thank you enough Alex and company. Sincerely, Dora. read more
