Testimonials
“Our 8 month boxer puppy just finished his training with Dylan at Alpha 9… oh my goodness! What a difference. Sarge (our pup) went from uncontrollable to a super well behaved manageable pup without losing his goofy personality. Now, to take him out for walks it’s an absolute pleasure without the fear of him pulling too hard or acting crazy. It was hard to know that we would not see him while he was in training but Dylan was super understanding and made it easier, with all his progress videos and text updates on Sarge’s training. We call Dylan “the dog whisperer” and I already recommended him to friends and even Sarge’s vet asked for Alpha 9 contact info (he was super impressed by the fact that Sarge went from jumping on people crazy pup to a super well behaved puppy).”

“When I got my first puppy, I quickly realized I was in over my head. He was tearing up my carpet, chewing my blinds, peeing all over the house. I looked around and once I found Alpha 9 and spoke with Adam, knew this was the company to help me. Adam took a lot of time with my dog and even more time helping me learn new commands. I’m absolutely amazed at how much and how quickly a dog can change. Just an incredible experience all the way around and I will only board my dog with Alpha 9 going forward.”
– Emily Gallagher
“We adopted a beautiful lab mix named Lucy. She was very timid and even with us. We decided she needed some training so we called around and found alpha 9. We spoke to Tyler and right away he assured us the pup and us would be just fine. Turns out our nervousness was rubbing off on her in public situations. She’s very attached to Tyler lol but loves her lessons at the park equally! She’s a brilliant girl and we are extremely happy. Thank you Tyler”
