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.

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.

    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.

Everybody loves Lucy...our almost year old Boxer/Bulldog rescue. But just like the zany televsion character, some of our Lucy's behavior was outrageous and potentially dangerous. To put it bluntly, she was driving us crazy. So when my veterinarian referred us to Alpha and Omega Dog Training, I called for a free evaluation. Jay the Trainer came to our rescue and took control of the leash. Six weeks later, Lucy remains the same lovable and looney puppy but with an added dimension of respect for our authority and security with her role in the pack. We're still a work in progress but thanks to Alpha and Omega Dog Training , we've become calmer and more confident and dog owners.

Jay definetly got my dog to listen to me on and off leash. During my training sessions everything was explained in a clear manner. I would strongly consider this company to anyone with a misbehaving dog.

My dog and I had a great experience with Brendon. He provided excellent service and was very helpful with showing me how to communicate different commands with my dog. My overall experience was great and I will definately be coming back.

Let me tell you all about my dog Teko. He was a 1 y/o English Bull Dog when we met Jay, from Alpha and Omega Dog Training. Mr.Teko, chewed up my furniture, my car seats and got into the bathroom and destroyed the shower curtain. But when he found his way into my closet and destroyed a pair of my Jimmy Choo's he had crossed the line! For whatever reason, I had been procrastinating about starting formal obedience training, but the time had finally come. After researching local trainers and narrowing down my options, I settled on Alpha and Omega. From the start of the very first session I had a different dog. The destructive chewing problem was solved. No more Jumping up on people when they came to visit. And no more pulling me when I take him out for our walks. Also, even though Teko was potty trained, I am really impressed that they taught him to go "potty on command". So no more squatting in front of someone house! In short, I can't say enough about the quality of service this company provided to me. Jay was very professional, knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. I would recommend this company to anyone with a dog.

I was referred to this company by a trusted friend for my 3 year old Yorkie, Justice. I rescued her from the shelter and she came with multiple issues. The biggest one being she was NOT house broken and very aggressive towards other dogs. Jay Trainer came to my home to conduct the evaluation and from the very start I was impressed. He gathered some cursory information and then really started getting to the root of what was going on with Justice. It was an absolute learning experience for me! I never even considered some of the things he pointed out to me which were absolutely true!!! By the time the evaluation was over, I had a completely different dog! I elected to go forward with the on/off leash program and I believe it was the best investment I could have ever made for my baby. First, she hasn't gone potty in the house since the evaluation. Also, she no longer thinks she has to be the toughest dog in Cleveland. I can actually enjoy taking her out with me now, which is the reason I got her in the first place. I'm just so grateful for having met Jay and what he has been able to achieve for us!!!!!
