About AlphA and Omega Dog Training

AlphA and Omega Dog Training helps owners build clear communication, structure and reliable obedience with their dogs. Our philosophy is simple: Train the Human. The Dog Follows. We work with owners and dogs through obedience training, behavior modification, on-leash and off-leash training, e-collar training, board and train programs, service dog training, protection training and real-world distraction training. Our focus is not simply teaching commands, it is teaching owners how to communicate with and confidently handle their dogs in everyday situations. Training programs begin with an evaluation to determine the dog, owner and program needs.

During behavioral development, the focus expands past handling techniques and delves into the psychology of the dog to change the relationship between you and your companion and enjoy a new way of living.

Through a series of commands given, your dog will “Turn On” when it is needed and “Turn Off” when the threat is no longer there or the command is given to “Turn Off”.The dog should remain in a “Turn Off” mode until the command is given to “Turn On”. This is necessary for the dog to be able to remain calm in all settings, but at attention.

  • Service dog training
    Program details

    Service dogs (sometimes referred to as assistance dogs) are equipped to help people with physical, neurological, or psychological disabilities perform everyday tasks. They help people overcome limitations caused by their disability and increase their independence and quality of life. They can sense that their handler is about to experience a medical problem, alert them of it, and assist or provide comfort when the problem occurs.These dogs can provide a wide range of assistance to address many types of physical limitations. They can alert people with hearing impairment to ringing phones and doorbells, help people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Military Sexual Trauma, or Traumatic Brain Injury to function successfully in public. Service dogs help them to feel secure and ease tension while in stressful situations. Each service Dog/handler team is individually trained to address the unique needs of the handler.

Alpha and Omega dog training is amazing. I began my search for a dog trainer because I was getting my very first big dog and I was very worried about it. My very first contact with Alpha and Omega was with Jay In conversation he seemed very sincere and caring about the importance of training a dog. I couldn't wait to meet them. When I started training I was even more amazed with my Trainer John who taught me how to handle my Roxyy. Now because of my trainers I have the confidence to lead my Roxyy. Thanks John and Jay for always being there when I need you.

When John came out for my evaluation I honestly expected him to say he wouldn't be able to help us. I truly can't thank Alpha and Omega enough! My pup went from an uncontrollable terror to "Lassie" in 6 weeks! lol But really, thanks alot. I wouldn't ever go to any other trainers.

Our baby boy was crazy hyper, had no respect, no obedience... but he loved us. His behavioral issues had us to the point that we were looking into rehoming him. I couldn't let that happen, we weren't ready or willing to give up on him. We met with/spoke to MULTIPLE different companies and none of them made us feel comfortable. I was hesitant to spend money on what I thought was impossible and uncomfortable inviting strangers from companies that I had found online into my home for demonstrations. Jay won us over within minutes. He's real, he makes you feel comfortable, he means everything he says, he doesn't rush through anything. I didn't feel like he was just selling me a product. He's passionate. We've also worked with John, who is just as knowledgeable and comfortable to work with. They're very laid back and friendly, but they definitely mean business and won't hesitate to give instruction or corrections. Yogi is a stubborn, smart, energetic young male pitt/boxer mix. He's spiteful, and likes to push our buttons. He chewed anything in his reach; he destroyed a bathroom, countless pairs of shoes, toys, phone chargers, rugs, the list goes on and on. He jumped on company, he didn't listen. We had NO control over our dog. It was embarrassing to have to lock him up when we had company over, however less embarrassing than him completely ignoring our commands. Our daughter couldn't play with him because he would be too rough and she was getting injured from being jumped on and knocked down. We couldn't walk him at all. He had to be chained up outside or he was gone, sometimes going after other people's dogs. We had reached our breaking point. After only 3 sessions we have a completely different dog. We are so happy we get to spend his first birthday with him this month. Our child got to actually play with her dog for the first time after two sessions. He now walks better than most dogs in our neighborhood, we've started off leash training and he's already got it down pretty well. I wouldn't usually give a review so soon, however I am that confident in Alpha and Omega. They are truly miracle workers.

Alpha & Omega Dog Training has been an absolutely fantastic asset in my life. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Any question "is never a dumb question". As a dog owner and owner I have to say there services have been very direct, easy and successful. Yvonne is the sweetest. Every time I called the office I received a return call. The customer service is A+. My baby girl has finally gotten herself together. The brief/direct commands have made my life so much easier with my little girl. I highly recommend their services to anyone who owns a pet. There the best. Erica Dionne Davis

We cannot say enough good things about Jay and AlphA and Omega Dog Training. We are in the middle of our private sessions and our 5 month old puppy is so well behaved. We have had many friends over and gotten so many compliments on our puppy's behavior. We got our puppy from the rescue and needless to say we were novices when it came to training. From our initial meeting, Jay has been awesome. He took the time to get to know us and our puppy. At our initial meeting, Jay got our puppy to go in a down and stay position. We were sold. Jay is very direct, he explains why our puppy acted the way she did, and he totally loves dogs. This shows in his interactions with our puppy. We are happy to say that our puppy is happy, we are happy:) Jay has given us the tools to ensure we remain this way. Our dog is very social, listens and obeys her commands not only from the adults but from the kids as well. We can also leave her off the leash. Thanx to Jay We highly recommend Alpha and Omega Dog Training. This team offers you peace of mind, understanding and the tools you need to have a dog that you can enjoy. Their service is impeccable and they are always a phone call away.
