Randy Hare’s Alpha Canine Training Center, Inc.

Randy and Lauren did an exceptional job with my 3 year old Border Collie / Akita mix, Sailor. From my first interaction with Randy, I really got the sense that 1) he was sincere in what he was saying and wasn't blowing smoke to get me in the door and 2) he was extremely experienced and knowledgeable about teaching dogs obedience. Lastly, he recognized how precious my pup is to me and what a big step it was for me to trust him with my little buddy. My main interests in sending Sailor to training was to correct some instances where he would not listen to the commands I gave him (especially when he was excited). Over the course of the training, Sailor learned leash obedience (such an improvement!) and through that the foundations of basic obedience. Now that he is home, I am continuing to practice these new habits and Sailor is much better behaved in general and (this is the kicker) he responds quickly if I need to correct his behavior. I will also add that his energy levels and focus during play have also improved as a result of the training. I am very grateful to Alpha K9 for their hard work and care with my best buddy!

After multiple failed attempts with three different trainers, we were in desperate need of someone who could successfully help us with training our rambunctious, high-energy 8 1/2-month-old wire-haired pointing griffon, Oscar, who had begun to have some behavioral issues. We called Alpha Canine Training Center and spoke with Randy Hare. After speaking with him, we decided to make a quick visit to meet him and see the facility. When we walked through the doors, we were amazed at the cleanliness of the top-notch facility. Randy and Lauren greeted us and were very professional and knowledgeable. Randy discussed in depth how his training worked and why it worked. At that point, we knew he was the right trainer for us. Randy and Lauren love what they do. Oscar stayed for four weeks at the board and train facility. They updated us weekly with videos of his progress, and at two weeks, we came for a short visit and were amazed at the progress they had made with Oscar. After four weeks of training, it was our turn to be trained. Randy spent several hours helping us to ensure we were educated on how to handle Oscar. We can't say enough good things about Randy and Lauren. We are so grateful to have found them. Oscar is a much better all-around dog, and we enjoy him so much. I highly recommend Alpha Canine Training Center with expert trainer Randy Hare and staff. If you are looking for a real dog trainer, look no more, they are truly the best. Again we can’t thank you enough, John and Melissa Elder

Great training for both of our dogs now obedient in only a couple of weeks. Amazing results even with different age dogs. Teaching them to walk together is next level. We have all the tools to continue their training at home and on our family hikes. I want to add more to my testimonial. It’s amazing how life works. Hudson (our older dog) would have never stopped on command before he went through dog training school with Alpha Canine. I took him with me to take Bowie (our pup) and I never thought about enrolling Hudson because he’s four years old and such a good dog. The trainers convinced me to train him to not jump up on people or tow us pulling on his leash. I figured he could keep Bowie company so I left him. Last night a Coyote showed up in our yard and Hudson took off after him. When I yelled “no” he stopped in his tracks. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but this old dog learned something new. And so did Hudson 😁
