About AlphA and Omega Dog Training

AlphA and Omega Dog Training helps owners build clear communication, structure and reliable obedience with their dogs. Our philosophy is simple: Train the Human. The Dog Follows. We work with owners and dogs through obedience training, behavior modification, on-leash and off-leash training, e-collar training, board and train programs, service dog training, protection training and real-world distraction training. Our focus is not simply teaching commands, it is teaching owners how to communicate with and confidently handle their dogs in everyday situations. Training programs begin with an evaluation to determine the dog, owner and program needs.

    In this program, the foundation for basic obedience is put into place with added expectations designed to develop stronger teamwork between you and your dog. This is a great program if you’re looking to take a proactive approach to dog training and avoid some of the most common and troublesome behaviors in and around your home. During behavioral development, the focus expands past handling techniques and delves into the psychology of the dog to change the relationship between you and your companion and enjoy a new way of living. Effective communication is the most important aspect of your training and all communication is built on trust, boundaries, and respect.

    Program details

    Service dogs (sometimes referred to as assistance dogs) are equipped to help people with physical, neurological, or psychological disabilities perform everyday tasks. They help people overcome limitations caused by their disability and increase their independence and quality of life. They can sense that their handler is about to experience a medical problem, alert them of it, and assist or provide comfort when the problem occurs.These dogs can provide a wide range of assistance to address many types of physical limitations. They can alert people with hearing impairment to ringing phones and doorbells, help people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Military Sexual Trauma, or Traumatic Brain Injury to function successfully in public. Service dogs help them to feel secure and ease tension while in stressful situations. Each service Dog/handler team is individually trained to address the unique needs of the handler.

I really love Alpha and Omega. My 2 Cavapoos have been training with Karlon for almost 2 years and they love him. He’s patient with them and treats them like his own pet. Highly recommended

7 years ago I purchased one of their highest packages for several thousand dollars to train our Malinois puppy to prepare for certifications. Jay did great with basic training skills. She learned sit and how to walk on a leash. But also introduced a shock collar. I hated using it because she acted weird and too submissive. After 7 lessons Jay decided she was trained and released us. We spent several thousand dollars for specialized training and never made it past basic pet smart training and ontop of that we had to hire a professional trainer to retrain her because she was traumatized and weird when the shock collar was on her neck. I wouldnt waste your money on this guy. I posted a review after the training and they deleted it. So I am posting again as a warning if you are thinking of getting more than basic training go somewhere else!
