Randy and his team are incredible. He transformed my dogs behavior and made me feel very comfortable with the process and leaving my boy for a month! He knows dog behavior inside and out. You won’t regret working with him and his team!!

We have got two one year old doodle puppies. Annie was trained by Randy and his staff. They trained her very well! I went to learn all the commands and to learn what to do once we brought her home. It does take time, effort and money, but it is so worth it when your dog is well behaved!! Randy is now working with Millie. We have boarded Annie there a couple times so he can work with both of them together! We are excited to get Millie home next week and see what all she has learned!

I can't say enough great things about Randy and Alpha K9. After we adopted our pup, we knew we wanted to get her professional training and did a lot of research of our options. We ultimately decided to go with Randy and Alpha K9, and we couldn't have made a better choice. Randy and his team are amazing—professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and caring (Randy also has some great jokes that'll make your training that much better). It's so obvious that they love what they do, and treat the dogs like their own. Our pup adores Randy and is always so excited when she's back there (which made leaving her that much easier, knowing how well taken care of and loved she was.) Our pup is SO much better behaved. Walks are so enjoyable now, she listens better to commands, and knows what we expect of her. We still have work to do, but we're confident she'll get to where we want her to be—with the training she already has and the continuous support we know we have from Randy and Alpha K9. We couldn't recommend them enough!

Randy, Scott, Lauren, and the entire Alpha Canine team were beyond exceptional. They not only instilled obedience to our German Shepherd mix but they also taught us on how to be better handlers. They have made our pup into an even better member of our family. Randy and his team are worth every penny.

I got a 4yr old german shepherd who was a retired military working dog, she had been left in a kennel environment for a year without doing much other then let out to potty and back in due to Covid. She had changed hands multiple times when I got her and had no idea what basic obedience was in a home or what I was asking of her. She didn’t trust me or my spouse and didn’t want to listen to us at all. I contacted Randy with alpha K9 to get his help. From the first day that we all met I knew Randy was the right fit he was able to assess her behaviors quickly and had such a positive touch with her. When we dropped her off to “school” as I called it I was nervous to leave my fur baby but I knew this training would pay off at the end. Randy also made this process easier for me by sending me videos of her while in school and was happy to talk when I would call to check in on her and how she was doing. When Kira graduated from school Randy and his team worked with my spouse and I to get us the training we needed to be successful with Kira. We are so thankful for all that alpha k9 has done. We now have a dog that listens and understands what we are asking of her. She comes when called, heals, sits, stays, doesn’t jump and so much more. Alpha K9 was definitely the best choice in training for Kira and our family. We will always recommend Randy for canine training of any sort. We will continue to use his services in the future for more advanced training with kira, and will use his services for any other dogs that come into our family.
