Janine and Nick are wonderful and knowledgeable trainers! My (at the time of finding them) 7 month old golden doodle was a mix of a menace and Houdini, always ready to pull, jump, and get away to the next exciting thing that caught her eye. After day one with Janine and Nick, we felt much more confident walking Yue around, she continued to become more attentive to us and understands what role we play in her life. Now, at 9 months old, she has made such a huge change for the better, we look forward to taking her on long walks knowing she won’t try to tackle everyone on the sidewalk. I can’t recommend them enough! Less

Amazing service and guidance, thank you for your kindness. Milo and I are very happy

We can’t recommend Nick and Janine enough! They worked miracles with our 2-year-old rescue, who was a bundle of nerves when we first started. When we adopted her, our dog used to bark non-stop and panic whenever we left the house, jump all over guests, pull on the leash every walk, and lunge at other dogs. It felt overwhelming at first, but Nick and Janine approached every issue with patience and... More

We can’t recommend Nick and Janine enough! They worked miracles with our 2-year-old rescue, who was a bundle of nerves when we first started. When we adopted her, our dog used to bark non-stop and panic whenever we left the house, jump all over guests, pull on the leash every walk, and lunge at other dogs. It felt overwhelming at first, but Nick and Janine approached every issue with patience and expertise. We are now able to leave the house without concern and walks have become a breeze. Not only did Nick and Janine train our dog, but they helped us as owners as well, teaching us the proper ways to walk and communicate with our dog.We are beyond grateful for Nick and Janine’s help and the confidence they’ve given us as dog owners. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and delivers incredible results, look no further. Thank you, for giving us the well-behaved, happy dog we always knew we had! Less

I can’t recommend Alpha Dog K9 training enough!! Janine and Nick are an amazing team that in a few short weeks turned my Kobe into a more polite and respectful puppy! Janine and Nick are both incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and use very positive techniques that immediately resonated with Kobe! Kobe went from sitting on the dining room chairs and laying on the table like he owned the place to being able to maintain a sit and stay command bypassing treats used to bait him. Kobe is also able to walk on a lead without pulling thanks to Nick’s ability to get him to do anything but most importantly to teach me the proper way as well!!I would highly recommend this professional skilled dog training duo!!!

I am absolutely overjoyed with the results from working with Janine and Nick! 🏆 From the very first session, it was clear that they aren’t just skilled trainers—they’re true dog lovers. My dog has always been a little nervous and stubborn, and I struggled with behavior issues like pulling on walks or her being anxious outdoors. Janine and Nick took the time to understand my dog’s unique personality and needs, creating a personalized training plan that felt tailored just for us.What really stood out was the gentle and compassionate approach they took with my dog and ME!! Haha ☺️ Every step of the way, they made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable, never rushed or forced into anything. Their patience and ability to read my dog’s cues made a huge difference, and it was clear my dog trusted them completely.Throughout the training, Janine and Nick not only helped me with commands and behaviors but also taught me how to communicate better with my dog. Honestly, the best part of the whole process wasn’t just the training itself—it was learning from someone so passionate and knowledgeable. Janine and Nick made sure I understood the ‘why’ behind every technique, and their insights into dog behavior were eye-opening…The positive reinforcement techniques they used were both effective and loving, and I loved how they emphasized building a strong, trusting relationship between me and her.After THE FIRST SESSION!, I noticed a big change. My dog is calmer, more focused, and much more responsive to commands. Walking on a leash has become a pleasant experience. But beyond that, the bond we share with Maple is stronger than ever. I truly feel like we understand each other better now, and I couldn’t be more grateful to Alpha Dog K9 for their unwavering dedication and support.I highly recommend Janine and Nick to anyone looking for not only a great dog trainer but someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of both the dog and the owner 💌 They’ve been a game-changer for me, and I’ll be forever thankful for everything they’ve done!! I’m so glad we got to know you!! 🙏🏼❤️ Less

There are not enough amazing things to say about our experience with Janine and Nick and Alpha Dog Training!When looking for a trainer, we wanted someone who was patient, kind, and did not use treat motivation or shock collars and Janine and Nick have the perfect training approach. Through allowing Daisy to make mistakes and then gently correcting her, she was able to learn very quickly. I was blown away that after just 15 minutes into the first lesson, my dog Daisy was walking beautifully on a leash. Being a Bernese Mountain Dog, she will be over 100 pounds. Walking on a leash was my number 1 priority for her safety, mine and others. What I love about their program is that it is easy to follow and understand and Janine and Nick make sure to explain everything to you in great detail so you are successful with your training on your own.We just finished our 10 sessions and I am forever grateful to Janine and Nick for everything they have taught Daisy and my family. They have given me the confidence to continue my work with Daisy each day! I am really going to miss seeing them each week and know Daisy will too. She absolutely adores them!We are on a path to have her therapy dog certified and have no doubt that with this training course she will pass with flying colors. I highly recommend Alpha Dog Training and know you will love them too!Thank you Janine and Nick for helping me foster a beautiful relationship with my dog! We are forever grateful! Less

However, when I came across Alpha Dog I figured what could I lose. The staff were professional and understanding. Janine isn't salesman or pushy. She listen to learn about my particular needs made suggestions based on the packages they offer. We were able to set up our first date within the next week! When they say "Dog Whisperer" they aren't lying. Nick brought comfort to my dog and I while showing us proper techniques to help better train my dog and "reset" his behaviors. Each sessions was individualized to our needs and never felt rushed. After just the first session I began to see a difference in my dog. I am so thankful for all they taught me and I would highly recommend them to other dog owners looking for help! Less

Janine and Nick are an amazing duo. They are truly exceptional trainers. We were facing challenges with our five dogs who wouldn’t listen, went wild whenever the doorbell rang, and jumped on guests. After just one session, we noticed a remarkable change in their behavior. Now that our dogs have completed their obedience training, they feel like entirely new companions. This transformation was no easy task, especially since our dogs range in age from a playful puppy to a nine-year-old veteran. With Janine’s and Nick’s skills and methods, you really can teach an old dog new tricks! Less

After reading the positive reviews for Alpha K9, we decided to work with this company. Janine and Nick lived up to the excellent reviews. They worked well as a team; Nick worked mostly with Milo while Janine provided explanation to me and my husband. Milo, a very high drive dog , responded well to Nick’s commands . They were both excellent teachers and we’ve seen a vast improvement in Milo’s behavior. They were very accompanying and flexible with scheduling and extremely professional. Even though our sessions are over, Janine said we can still send videos and questions to her and they will invite us to tag along on any group sessions. My advice to anyone on the fence about training is to go with this team and you will see results. We are very happy and pleased with to have worked with Janine and Nick. Less

BIG big shoutout to Janine and Nick at Alpha Dog K9 Training. We have a 9 year old hound mix who is as sweet as pie to humans of all ages and sizes. We got her when she was just barely 8 weeks old. But when another dog, squirrel, bird or any other animal came into view, such as she she was on a walk, she would snap, snarl, lunge etc. we needed to keep a very tight grip on her lead to avoid trouble. In our home, she attacked each of our other two older puggles a time or two (6 years old when we got Brandy) before they learned to get along. She also went after our son and daughter-in-law’s chihuahua once or twice. Nothing we tried, including a different trainer, worked. One of our puggles passed last year and the other is not doing all that well. We are planning to get another puppy when his time comes but having Brandy be the way she was, that might have been a dangerous situation. Enter Nick and Janine! I found them on line, checked their reviews and was pleased with what I found. We arranged for 7 sessions with them. The price was reasonable and They showed up whenever and wherever they said they would. The first couple of sessions were near our home, and then we went to A couple of dog parks. We Can’t believe it’s the same dog! She responds to commands like ‘heel’, ‘leave it’ and others that have put an end to those dangerous moments. We also worked on reactivity to the door bell, again with first class results. We now feel comfortable introducing a new pet to our home. Most importantly, Nick and Janine trained US, the pet owners, on how to properly handle and train the dog on our own. We now know how to correctly handle her on a lead, how to distract when needed, and similar techniques. We can’t recommend Alpha Dog K9 Training highly enough. We’d absolutely 100% use them again for our next dog. Give them a call. Tom & Marty Fazio Less

We felt overwhelmed and unsure how to address it. Then we found Alpha Dog K9. Janine & Nick immediately put us at ease with their calm demeanor and positive training methods. They took the time to understand both Rocky's personality and our goals for training. The training sessions were not only informative but also enjoyable for us (Rocky passed out after every training). They explained everything clearly and provided easy-to-follow instructions. We saw a positive change in Rocky's behavior within a short period of time. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, Rocky is now a good boy. He has his moments, but our training allows us to correct the behavior. We have a much stronger bond with Rocky and can confidently take him on walks and outings.

My puppy loved being trained by Alpha Dog K9 team both Nick and Janine were incredible with my overly excited, always scared and untamed puppy. He has improved so much in 5 trainings. They also showed me as the owner how to become a parent dog parent. My puppy Ozzy just wants to learn, play and love but was always jumping on people, scared of everything outside to the point he would get off his leash and run. Now he can walk outside more confident and less afraid. No need for me to worry that he will get off his leash and run. He is getting better with jumping on people and he even sat without any issues while the gardeners were at my home, which he would normally go crazy. Great improvement and much more to learn.

Let me start by saying how amazed I was with Janine and Nick from the start of the FIRST session. I have a 13month German Shepard who was VERY people aggressive/reactive to anyone who was in my proximity. She would start barking and lunging at people despite being socialized when she was a puppy.

Let me start by saying how amazed I was with Janine and Nick from the start of the FIRST session. I have a 13month German Shepard who was VERY people aggressive/reactive to anyone who was in my proximity. She would start barking and lunging at people despite being socialized when she was a puppy. I let Janine know this along with some other behaviors that needed correction. When they came Nick was calm, confident and assertive. He was able to redirect and correct her behavior with no shock collars, yelling, treats, etc. I instantly saw a difference in her behavior as she was able to walk by people without trying to lunge/bite. They showed me the tools I needed to help with her behaviors as well as guiding me through the frustrations I would feel in her training. They are great trainers who only want what’s best for your and your pup and will work you in achieving obedience for your pup. I highly recommend them for anyone needing a trainer. Less

I am so grateful for the guidance Janine and Nick have given me and family to raise our sweet Bella!

Let me start by saying that whatever it is that you’re looking for in a dog trainer look no further. I have a VERY aggressive/protective pitbull who was raised in the covid times. My wife and I have tried everything to give her a normal dog life and nothing was working.

Let me start by saying that whatever it is that you’re looking for in a dog trainer look no further. I have a VERY aggressive/protective pitbull who was raised in the covid times. My wife and I have tried everything to give her a normal dog life and nothing was working. It got to the point where we couldn’t take her on walks for her safety and the safety of other people or animals. Finding Janine and Nick has changed our lives. Janine is incredibly sweet, great at communicating, and answers any and all questions. Nick is stern, shows no fear, and has an incredible calmness about him. And the best part is that you can tell that they genuinely care about the dog and the outcome of their work. We haven’t finished training yet but already after a few sessions there has been a HUGE improvement. Janine and Nick not only work with the dog but they taught my wife and I how to handle the dog calmly, safely, and correctly. We finally feel comfortable and confident enough to leave the house with her. There really aren’t enough good things that I can say about Janine and Nick. I trust them 10000% with my dog and and her safety. I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for help. Less

She had a bit of agression and resource gaurding issues as well as hard pulling on walks especially if she saw another dog in the area. After countless days and hours of trying youtube videos, forums, and how to's i was fed up and needed REAL hands on training. I googled for k9 training and came across Alpha Dog K9 Training. On the websites main page it checked off all my boxes as to what i was having issues with so i booked a consultation with them. After speaking to the team i started to feel like there was hope! Nick and janine worked with tessa and really pulled through with her behavioral issues. I went from red marks and leash rashes to tessa staying at my side and not pulling me across the street to see other dogs. It was an amazing experience working with them. Nick heard all my concerns and everything was adressed and corrected. Theres no better trainers around. Highly reccomend!! Thank you nick and janine for the training. You guys are lifesavers !! highly reccomend for all your training needs! Less

We were the proud owners of a Douge de Bordeaux, a French Mastiff, who joined our family during the peak of the 2020 pandemic. What started as a 7lb playful puppy had now blossomed into a 145lb force that seemed beyond our control. Due to the constraints of the pandemic, our beloved Kaine never received the proper socialization, making our attempts to take him for walks an absolute nightmare. Kaine's tendencies to lunge at strangers, chase after children on bikes and scooters, and pick fights with other dogs on the street made it increasingly risky to walk him, limiting his exercise to our backyard. Realizing this was not the life we wanted for our dog, we knew we needed professional assistance. Our journey to find the right trainer was not without challenges. The first trainer we encountered preferred fear-based methods over using food as a reward, which only served to agitate Kaine further. The second trainer, while using food in training, focused primarily on burning Kaine's energy through agility training, leaving his obedience issues unaddressed and our walks unchanged. Faced with the daunting prospect of keeping a 145lb dog cooped up at home, we turned to Nick and Janine as a last resort. It was a make-or-break moment for us. From the outset, Nick's approach stood out. During our first meeting, as an Amazon driver approached, Kaine prepared to react aggressively, yet Nick's composed "No" was all it took to bring Kaine back under control. We knew we were in good hands. The six weeks of training that followed were not without their challenges, with Kaine tethered to me at all times to establish control within the home. It was no easy feat maneuvering around with a 145lb dog constantly at my side. However, the results were undeniable. Every weekend, Nick and Janine would take Kaine for walks, demonstrating a remarkable level of control without resorting to harsh methods. No pulling, no lunging, no shock collars, no intimidating corrections, no raised voices, and certainly no attempts to dominate a dog of his size. Just a simple $20 lead wielded skillfully by Nick to assert his authority. Apologies for the lengthy testimonial, but it's crucial to grasp the gravity of the situation we faced before Nick and Janine intervened. I was dragged on walks, reprimanded by concerned strangers, and felt utterly powerless in managing my dog. Thanks to their intervention, Kaine enjoyed his walks and has blossomed into a happier, well-behaved companion. We are forever indebted to Nick and Janine for turning our situation around. Less
