He spent just about two hours with me and both of my dogs and what a difference from the beginning to the end of the visit. One of my dogs has a really hard time with other dogs. He brought his dog with him and before he left they were walking together and laying near each other. He also helped me bring my dogs near my neighbors dogs who I've always had an issue with and they were great. He really brought a different side out in my dogs and I couldn't be more appreciative and grateful for his help. I would absolutely recommend Alpha Dog to anyone who wants a good, reliable, honest and caring person to help with their pups. Two thumbs up from Jada, Bentley and I.

We are absolutely in love with our sweet Penny! From the moment we brought her home, she has been…read moresuch a joy. She is healthy, playful, and full of personality -- affectionate when we need comfort and silly when we need a laugh. Her temperament is everything we hoped for: gentle, smart, and easy to train. The whole experience with Denise was wonderful. Communication was clear and supportive throughout the process, and it was obvious how much love and care goes into raising these puppies. Penny is so well-socialized and confident -- you can tell she was raised in a nurturing environment. We couldn't be happier with Penny and feel so grateful to American Goldendoodlefor giving us such a special addition to our family!"

We had a couple of our dogs go for the 2 week on site training and I couldn't be happier. Both dogs are doing great and responding to training amazingly. Melissa was also great in training the family. She spent personal time with all of us (young children as well) and explained how dogs perceive their environment and how best to interact with them. It's very helpful understanding how dogs think when applying the training. Melissa was also able to adjust her training program to accommodate an adult with a disability. That personal touch means a lot. Thank you.

I tried to book again and she said it had been too long, and rejected the appointment. That's fine, I can go somewhere else. However, I was just looking at my credit card statement and I was charged $50 per dog on the day I tried to book these appointments even though she rejected them. I tried to log in to my account online with my phone number to see if they are storing my credit card information, but my phone number is apparently blocked in their system and I have no way of telling what has been stored so I don't know if she still has my credit card information. I did NOT receive the service and would never have known I was charged if I hadn't looked at my statement. She has stated she will refund but if you are canceled I strongly recommend checking your credit card statement.

This business is poorly run. I registered and paid for a Companion Dog Level I class online using…read moretheir website and paypal. After getting up early in anticipation and bathing my Lab, donning the mask, signing a Covid-19 release on the spot, meeting some nice people and their dogs, I was treated to being sequestered from the rest of the class, because they screwed up and did not have me on the list. And they were bouncing me around. Oh you need to talk to Cindy, the office-business manager. Did not bother introducing me to Cindy to help straighten things out. I had to speak up through my mask and with bouncy Lab in hand, "Excuse me, are you Cindy?" Cindy found the Paypal email, for what seemed like the first time. Honestly, she was the most helpful in the situation.Then Cindy talks with the teacher. They mumble,mumble, mumble. The teacher comes to me with the directive, you'll have to wait, because someone who is on the class list hasn't shown yet. Treating me like I am "Flying Standby". And I registered and PAID IN FULL 3 weeks prior. Those were the magic words from the teacher. That was a bolt from the heavens indicating how the dynamic of this whole transaction would be for me. It spoiled the opportunity, frankly. I asked for my money back. And then the teacher is phony apologetic, trying to save the sale. They were pretty reluctant to give the money back, having me get on the phone with the owner, Louise, and she is trying to carouse me into staying. I imagine that the staff are all under pressure. It seems like a pressure place. I simply said no thank you, please refund my money. Of course, she has to do it later, when she comes into the office. I filed a dispute with Paypal/Synchrony Bank, just to return the goodfaith and reciprocity Louise was demonstrating. I had a private lesson here with Diane, and she was recommended. I was impressed, but I also felt the place was uptight. She seemed distracted at times. I'm sure the talent here is impressive. But, it is poorly run. Also, I find it interesting that they are not setup for Google reviews. They seem to want tight control of reviews. I understand. Reputation is important.

Lucy is a rescue from the hurricanes in Puerto Rico. When I got her she was TINY! She has come such…read morea long way and I love her so much. My point is, that it's impossible to watch a baby grow and learn but not get attached. So needless to say, when I was struggling I made sure I did my research before sending her ANYWHERE!!! I would text these ladies at probably the most random times asking questions as I thought of them, and they always got back to me. I liked how upfront they were-- very transparent! They were super patient with me! The drop off: When I met with Hilary at Beaver Brook Park, I was literally shaking and teary eyed. Lucy has been such an important part of my life, how could I hand her over to strangers?! Here's how... She let me take a photo of her license, she assured me that I would get updates daily, and basically put my mind at ease the best she could. Driving away broke my heart but I knew this would be a great experience for Lucy! ***The training: I received pictures, videos, phone calls, she always kept me in the loop!! I will admit, it was so heartwarming to see all the cool places Lucy got to explore. Any issues were shared with me and they handled it all better than i could've asked for. Nicole and Hilary-- you can just tell that they are SO loving towards animals. Especially with the pictures, Lucy would hug their arm and you could just see that she was safe, felt happy, and was having fun! ***The pickup: Lucy was ready and finished a day early, so I headed back to Beaver Brook Park! Pickup was about an hour long, they went over her two weeks, what she learned, how to continue the training.. all the do's and dont's! They were again, very patient with me. ***The results!!!!!: I cannot thank them enough. Everywhere I go with Lucy, I get so many compliments! Now that Lucy is a service dog, I've challenged her with restaurants, multiple stores, and talking to strangers in stores. She gets better and better every single day-- which impresses the heck out of me because I thought she did great the first time! Restaurants, she goes right under the table and just watches what's going on, or she'll even take a nap! My heart is just beaming!!! I am SO proud of my girl. I hated not having her home, but I can honestly say, I never imagined that she would be so well behaved and such a great service dog. I recommend these trainers to anyone and everyone who loves their dog and is looking for a safe happy and FUN experience for them to learn!

We have two young Dogs. Both are great but are off the chart with energy, easily distracted and…read morehighly inconsistent in following commands. We had tried a couple of different programs, made some progress but frankly we just didn't have the time required to dedicate using traditional reward based training. The final straw was when the dogs got off leash and just bolted. We could not recall them and thought we were going to lose them. After doing some research and calling references, we made a decision to send our dogs to Giacomo at Off Leash K9 Training. Giacomo kept us updated during the entire process. The progress was amazing; they soon were following several commands: sit, down, off, leave it, come, place and heel both on an off leash and all the work fully guaranteed. There are not a lot of board and train programs around the area, fewer that offer off leash training and none I found that guarantee their work. While your dog(s) will come back markedly improved, you should expect that when you get your dog(s) back, you will need to continue to work with your dog(s). We still continue to practice and re-enforce their training and they still need work but are light years ahead of where they were. We take them pretty much everywhere we go, grocery, building supply stores, department stores and the coffee shop. Would not have thought about taking them anywhere prior to their training. Giacomo is a great guy and loves what he does. The training and the experience is worth every penny! The most challenging part was not having the dogs for two weeks.

Our team of certified professional dog trainers work hard to create custom programs that fit every dog, and every budget; from private training lessons to boarding and training. Most of us lead pretty hectic lives, work long hours, have numerous commitments, and often don’t have extra time to devote to the hundreds of repetitions and 24/7 accountability that successful dog training requires. You would much rather be spending the time you do have exploring, having fun, making memories, or relaxing with your canine best friend! That’s where our Board and Train dog training services come in. Our trainers will create a unique training program to fit you and your dog's specific needs to achieve the training goals. All travel, treats, care, training, tools, and lifetime guarantee of communication with your assigned trainer is included in each of our programs. At the end of training, your trainer will return the dog back to you where they will not only teach you everything your dog has newly learned, but also how to continue with training in everyday aspects within your own home. Our motivation is to see you communicate, connect, and thrive with your dog!
