Testimonials
Marshall is the best of the best! We can already see a big difference in our dogs behavior and he made it so easy for us to understand how to change our behaviors with our dog as well! My husband and I were amazed at what we were seeing during the training. He gives you the knowledge and tools you need to be a confident dog owner and made us excited to practice what we learned with our dog. I highly recommend Marshall and can’t thank him enough for all that he taught us! He’s the real deal!
– Marshall
Alpha Dog Training is absolutely amazing! They have been dedicated to helping my German Shepherd puppy and me. They have been incredibly helpful in training my puppy to listen more, staying focused on me when I’m at the end of the leash, reactivity to other dogs when outside, and her separation anxiety. She has improved a lot. Marshall explained things very well regarding how he wanted to train as well as why his positive training methods were optimal for our dog. Each lesson was greater than the last one. Everything you learn can be applied to future dogs because of how detailed the training is and the knowledge we gained. Marshall is always open to any questions and I can’t thank him enough for all the help he has given us.
– Client
We meet with Marshall to get help with our aggressive dog. At the beginning of our lesson she would lung and try to attack the the sight of another dog, however by the end of the training we had her off leash playing with other dogs. He was very knowledgeable about dog behavior and even did research on our specific breed to know how to better train her. Overall it was a well priced training and the results were far better than expected!
