We are very pleased with the level of training that our dog, Zeke has received with Randy and Lauren. It was very obvious that they truly cared about him. He is a larger dog and had to have special modifications with the boxes that they use for training. They went out of their way to build a special size for him so that he would feel more comfortable. Randy was always so positive and uplifting when we would call to check on him. We felt at ease while he was in their care. We have noticed a remarkable change in his ability to lead and stay focused. We highly recommend their program!

We dropped our boy Kane off at Alpha Canine, and it was the best decision ever. Randy and his wife were amazing from the start. Kane came home with manners and direction. We can now enjoy spending quality time with him instead of constant stress and redirection. Randy and his wife truly care about the dogs they train. I think I might have seen 💧 when Kane was leaving. We will definitely be back to visit. Thank you Alpha Canine for all your hard work and making us at part of this experience.

Randy knows what he is doing. Every penny very well spent. He really puts in the work and helped us do the same. Our boy has not only taken to the training but it’s brought us closer as a family. We needed it done before our first born arrives in the fall and Randy delivered. Our pittie boy is extremely head strong and this is exactly what he needed. Randy and Lauren went above and beyond from training to our boy’s nutrition and weight. Thank you for helping our family!!!!!!

I had such a great experience with Randy and Lauren. My pup was hard to walk and liked to jump when he met someone new. He’s now so much better behaved and listens to my commands. Randy also helped pick him up from the vet to start his training while I was out of town and couldn’t get him. Cannot say enough great things about this training center!

These guys know there stuff! I recently had the pleasure of working with Randy and Lauren to train and socialize my Portuguese Water Dog Cosmo. His main issues were nipping and jumping all over my wife and 11 mo old baby. We did a total of 4 weeks training. We personally visited the site two times during the process. One time to see his progress and the second time for “People” dog training. The people training was several hours of me and my wife being shown how to properly give commands in a consistent and effective manner. Cosmo gained several skill sets including heeling on one side, sitting and laying down with hand signals, he learned to stay on command and several commands. Cosmo is much attentive now and follows directions. He no longer jumps up often and if he does, we follow a consistent disciplinary system that works and he learns. They have also already been available to us for questions a few times even after Cosmo graduated. We really appreciate the work they did with our dog and highly recommend their services to anyone in need.
