AlphA and Omega Dog Training

AlphA and Omega offers three progressive obedience programs: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. The Basic Program teaches foundational commands like sit, down, stay, and calm leash walking with no treats or clickers. The Intermediate Program builds reliability in distracting environments and addresses leash pulling and inconsistent responses. The Advanced Program focuses on lifelong leadership, real-world reliability, and deepening the human-dog bond through consistent communication. All programs include hands-on training for owners and optional board-and-train options where dogs reside with trainers for one week before owner sessions to reinforce learning.

AlphA and Omega Dog Training is a professional dog training service based in Tampa Bay, FL, and Cleveland, OH, offering personalized, humane training that focuses on building trust and leadership between dogs and their owners. They specialize in training humans to communicate effectively with their dogs using instinctual, non-treat-based methods, avoiding gimmicks like clickers or food bribes. Their approach emphasizes structure, consistency, and positive correction to develop real-world obedience rooted in respect—not fear or reward. Training is offered in-home, at their facility, or in local parks, and they also provide board-and-train programs where dogs live with trainers for intensive development. The business is led by Jay, a Master Dog Trainer with over 25 years of experience, and Karlon, a Lead Coordinator in Cleveland, both known for their compassionate, psychology-driven methods. They also offer ongoing support, boarding, and access to training resources through their Paws & Purpose blog.

Clients report dramatic improvements in leash pulling, reactivity, recall, and household behavior, with many noting their dogs become calmer, more obedient, and responsive even around distractions. The training is tailored to each dog’s temperament and the owner’s lifestyle, making it suitable for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs—including high-energy breeds and those with behavioral challenges. They serve families seeking long-term results, not quick fixes, and emphasize that training starts with the human, not the dog.
