AlphA and Omega Dog Training

AlphA and Omega offers three progressive obedience programs: Basic Obedience (foundational commands like sit, down, stay, and leash walking), Intermediate Obedience (reliability around distractions and real-world control), and Advanced Obedience (lifelong leadership and trust-based communication). All programs focus on training the human to lead effectively, with no treat dependency. Board-and-train options are available for intensive, immersive training where the dog lives with the trainer for one week, followed by owner instruction sessions.

AlphA and Omega Dog Training is a professional dog training service based in Tampa Bay, Florida, and Cleveland, Ohio, specializing in obedience training that focuses on building trust, leadership, and clear communication between dogs and their owners. They do not rely on treats, clickers, or gimmicks, instead teaching dogs to respond through instinctual, structured communication rooted in respect—not fear or bribery. Their programs are designed to train humans as much as dogs, helping owners develop the confidence and consistency needed to lead their pets in real-world environments with distractions. They offer on- and off-leash obedience training for puppies, adult dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges, and also provide board-and-train services where dogs live with trainers for intensive programs. Additional services include pet boarding and follow-up training sessions. Their approach is balanced, humane, and tailored to each dog’s temperament, with corrections used only as guidance, never punishment.

The business is led by Jay, a Master Dog Trainer with over 25 years of experience serving Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida, and Karlon, a Lead Coordinator based in Greater Cleveland with expertise in dog psychology and program development. Both trainers emphasize long-term behavioral success through relationship-building, not quick fixes.

Clients report dramatic improvements in leash walking, recall, reactivity, and household manners, with many noting that their dogs now behave reliably around distractions, children, and other animals. The company has a 4.7-star rating from over 270 Google reviews and offers a referral program where both the referrer and new client receive $100 off.

How to Get Started!
