Randy Hare’s Alpha Canine Training Center, Inc.

Where do I begin...Alpha K-9 Training Center exceeded any expectations I had! I recently got a German Shepard puppy and shortly after I realized I needed help. I called several training facilities but couldn’t get myself to commit to any of them until I called Randy Hare at Alpha K-9. As many of you reading this review, I was apprehensive to drop my dog off for 28 days but immediately after speaking to Randy I knew that this was the best fit for me and my dog Summer. He was beyond knowledgeable, patient, understanding, and you could tell how passionate he was about what he does, and I felt an immediate relief. I had high expectations for my dog summer but what Randy and Lauren achieved in 28 days was beyond anything I could’ve expected. I feel like I got back a completely different dog, and most importantly I walked away with the tools necessary to continue training on my own and a sense of confidence to better communicate with my dog Summer. The saying that “you get what you pay for” couldn’t hold truer than my experience with Randy and Lauren, through this experience my dog Summer has gained invaluable obedience training and the foundation to move forward with more confidence. I cannot thank Randy and Lauren enough for everything they have done, they are so nice and always available to answer any questions. They truly want you and your fur baby to succeed and that carries over in everything they do. Thank you again Randy and Lauren!

I’m not exactly sure where to start but like most of you reading these reviews, I was apprehensive and nervous about a month long training program. I knew my dog would benefit from professional training, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it. Instead of one foot in and one foot out, I decided to commit to what I thought would be best for my dog over the course of her life and I couldn’t be happier with my decision, albeit - nervous at first. I don’t believe what Randy and Lauren achieve with these dogs can be done any differently, and for any shorter amount of time - I am beyond happy I did not go with a two week program or for half the cost to save money. Nala wasn’t in dire need of training, but the confidence & competence we now both have to go about our day and routine was worth every penny. Knowing I can provide proper mental stimulation makes me feel better about owning a shepherd in the city when physical stimulation may not always be available. Randy makes sure you understand your role to play with your dog and welcomes additional refreshers, he has checked in numerous times post training and is nice to see the commitment they have to your animals once they leave. The freedom and peace of mind to bring your dog to any environment really elevates your relationship to a new level without any animosity. It also feels good knowing I can bring Nala back for kenneling whenever I need to travel and that she is already well accustomed to the facility and people!

We have had many dogs over the years, but Buster, our young Beauceron proved to be too much of a challenge for us! Alpha k9 Nashville was the best thing that ever happened to us as dog owners and for Buster. He came through the training experience as a more mature and certainly better mannered dog. Buster didn’t lose any of his hilarious personality and remained a very happy and loving dog. We cannot thank Alpha k9 enough for helping us learn how to work effectively with this amazing dog.
