⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alpha Buddy is the best of the best!
I can’t say enough good things about Alpha Buddy. He not only trained my dog, Forest, in all the basic commands, but also helped him work through his fears with so much patience and care. His deep understanding of dog behavior is clear from the moment you meet him—he knows how to respond in the moment and offer real, lasting solutions. Forest is a happier, more confident pup thanks to him. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly skilled with dogs, Alpha Buddy is the one. I’m so grateful we found him!

Lazaro has done a great job with my five month old golden doodle. He has come such a long way and has taught me so much. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a trainer who really cares about dogs. He also boards dogs and I will be using his services for that too.

I thank God for putting Alpha Buddy Dog in our path. We’re incredibly grateful! Our dog Nova, 2.5 years old, was aggressive and disobedient. We couldn’t even get close to her, she would bare her teeth, and one day she bit my oldest daughter. After just one session, everything began to change. Nova is now obedient, respectful, and happier. Alpha Buddy Dog didn’t just help Nova; they taught our whole family how to truly understand and connect with her. Thank you for bringing peace to our home and giving Nova a better life. You're the best!

Laz is a great trainer after a few lessons my dog has made some noticeable improvements. My dog has had issues with aggression and hyperactivity and he taught me some great techniques to get him to respect me more and cut down on his bad habits. At the end of the day it’s up to you to see continued progress but he will give you the tools. Highly recommend!

Five stars because that’s what Laz gives you. Rollo was a stray off the streets and obviously very skittish and aggressive because that’s what he needed to be. Laz gave him the confidence to trust. Being in a business where you see so many dogs, it said a lot for the amount of time he spent with Rollo and the feelings he formed for him I have a feeling that he is that way with all of his dogs.
This is truly a labor of love for him and we love him for that.
