I couldn't be more please with Alpha and Omega. John was an excellent trainer. The passion he showed training Popeye was astounding. You could really tell he enjoys what he does and the training reflected that. He also gave me a few tips and pointers to lead my Popeye better than I ever imagined.

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.

Program details
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.

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
This program is designed to protect you and your family members at home or in a vehicle. Through a series of commands given, your dog will “Turn On” when it is needed and “Turn Off” when the threat is no longer there or the command is given to “Turn Off”.The dog should remain in a “Turn Off” mode until the command is given to “Turn On”. This is necessary for the dog to be able to remain calm in all settings, but at attention. In order for a family dog to be trained for this service, your dog must be at least one (1) year of age, have a solid temperament and must be both Basic and Advanced Obedience trained.
- Service dog training
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.

Before John & Jay I thought my dogs were untrainable, my girl husky has been doing what she wanted for about 6 years now. They had her listining very well within the first two sessions!!!!! I was like, "there is no way you are going to get that dog to not dart as soon as she gets outside." She is a runner and runs off every time she accidentally gets out the front door. These guys gave me the necessary knowledge to take my dog outside with me, OFF LEASH and not have her take off. That alone was worth every penny!!!! Train your dogs with Alpha & Omega you won't be disappointed!!!
