Testimonials
Alpha Leader K9 has continued to support me with my pack! I recently gained two new dogs and they continue to show me how to be a strong and confident dog handler and always teaching me how to use the proper tools. They also help me to recognize good and bad manners of mine and other dogs. They also teach me how to improve and educated myself on desired behaviors. Everyday I am learning more from them and thankful that I can take home every learning experience! If you’re considering a place to call home consider past and present reviews from clients! We will not disappoint!

ALT changed my dog and my way of thinking and training! They taught me how to train my dog with training me first. They really showed me how to use facts over emotions and show me what I was missing! Zee and I have a much better relationship and respect for one another!!!! Thank you ALT!
– Client
I cannot say enough good things about this place. The training we and our dogs have received has made such a difference. We have completed the puppy training class and are working on the next level. The training is well worth the time and money as our dogs are so much happier and well behaved.
