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.

Training goals
- Behavior consultation
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. 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. Curriculum for the Behavioral Development Program includes: walking in the heel position on- and off-leash, basic commands (heel, sit, stay, down and come), kennel acclimation, establishment of boundaries, redirect, distance recall, drop it and leave it, and go to spot.

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.

I walked in with an out of control 5 month old black lab that I was preparing myself to get rid of, one night of him staying at Alpha and Omega and I knew I was at the right place! I now have an obedient & loveable 7 month old puppy who listens & respects his humans. I can't say enough how amazing Jay, Alicia, & the rest of the staff are, they allowed me to keep my boy for which I will be forever grateful! My family got trained as well, which we definitely needed but we were never made to feel inferior or looked at like we were dumb for some of the questions we asked. The staff is always available for you with a smile & a kind word. Anyone needing help with your 4 legged friend this is the place for you!! Absolutely incredible.....

Look, I am an inherently skeptical person, so when I stopped in for the consultation I truly did not have an expectation that there would be an immediate change in my dog. I was absolutely and completely wrong. In 5 minutes, Alicia had my previously snarling and willful cockapoo rescue who always pulled me on her leash walking at her heel. It was at that point that I decided to add on the 3 day board and train - best decision ever! When we picked her up 3 days later Honey was fully trained - on and off leash; then began the human training. Jay and Alicia were extremely patient with the adults and the kids in our family. They patiently taught us how to use our leash and build a better relationship with Honey. We are now at a point where she no longer barks at everyone and everything, she doesn’t door dash, no more accidents in the house, and we can even take her out off leash ourselves. The last two nights we’ve taken trail walks with runners, bikers, skaters, and other dogs everywhere - and she has been amazing! Honey is my first dog, and I am so happy to finally be able to enjoy her! Thank you so much Jay and the team at AlphA and Omega!

Wow, where do I start? I’ve had a dog before but we recently adopted a dog and she came with unexpected challenges:very fearful, aggressive, and she quickly asserted herself as the leader of our pack at all of 10.5 pounds lol. We did Petsmart training and but realized that she needed some serious behavior modification and were nearing a decision to have to rehome her ourselves. Jay and Alicia did in a few days what we thought would take years. She is a cockapoo (high energy and smart) and I thought she would need to grow out of her “puppy phase.” If you are on the fence (pun intended) stop and go see Jay. He is simply an incredible trainer and worth every dime. Our family and Honey are so very thankful to be able to properly interact and not have to worry about biting and dashing out the door or anything else we feared would happen while on a walk or when a visitor would come to our home. Five star review for a five star trainer...we are forever grateful, Jay!
Great place to take your dog, my dog loved the open field and the people you meet there are great! I would definitely recommend trying
