Alpha One Canine Academy offers two main board and train programs: a 3-week On-Leash Basic Obedience program and a 6-week Advanced Obedience program with e-collar training.

The 3-week program teaches foundational commands (sit, down, stay, come, leash walking) and includes three transition lessons for owners. The 6-week program adds off-leash obedience and e-collar familiarization for both dog and owner, with extensive post-program support. All new clients must complete an evaluation to customize their training plan. Private one-hour sessions are also available for targeted behavior work.

Alpha One Canine Academy is a professional dog training business based in Los Angeles that helps dog owners build stronger, more respectful bonds with their pets through balanced training techniques. They offer customized training programs tailored to each dog’s breed, temperament, and individual needs, with a focus on creating clear communication and trust between dogs and their owners. Their services include private sessions, board and train programs (3-week and 6-week options), and an initial evaluation to develop a personalized training plan. They also provide in-home training immersion during board and train programs and follow-up private lessons to help owners transition training to their homes. The business emphasizes holistic pet wellness, supporting mental and emotional health alongside obedience training. Their trainers, including Ian and Sara, are praised for their patience, expertise, and ability to transform challenging behaviors in dogs of all sizes and backgrounds, from high-energy border collies to rescued chihuahuas and reactive pit bulls.

Clients report dramatic improvements in leash manners, recall, reactivity, and household behavior, with many noting they felt trained alongside their dogs.

In addition to training, Alpha One Canine Academy offers pet wellness support, including nutrition guidance, mental stimulation, and ongoing behavioral advice to ensure long-term success.
