The response time after my initial call was prompt and we started right away with the evaluation of my dog. Once we selected the right program for my pet we started training sessions and got to work. After a couple sessions I was already seeing results and it only got better from there. My trainer Karlin was patient and knowledgeable. It was a great experience and would definitely use them again!

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.

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. In order for a family dog to be trained for this service, your dog must be at least one (1) year of age, have a solid temperament and must be both Basic and Advanced Obedience trained.
- 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.

Before enrolling into Alpha and Omega dog training classes I researched so many different dog training classes and I chose this one because I really liked how you are part of a membership that is allowed to receive training at anytime to address any behaviors that are unwanted. I have a boxer and spaniel mix puppy so my dog has very high energy and I had very little experience with a high energy dog I even learned a lot on how to control my puppy and for him to behave how I want him too. After the 1st session we noticed a change in his behavior he was much calmer and we were taught the right commands and hand signals and how to manage him on and off leash wash was a learning experience for me as well. Karlon was very patient with me and my dog to get all the commands and leash training right, working through distractions, and he was very flexible with scheduling training sessions which is a super plus. I would definitely recommend Alpha and Omega Dog training to anybody.
Karlon helped us through issues with our GSD biting his “Dad” . Gave us direction and encouragement on all aspects of training. I highly recommend Alpha and Omega.

I had a nothing but positive experience with Karlon here at Alpha and Omega. I had recently adopted a shelter dog who had some behavioral issues (intermittent aggression and separation anxiety). After the first session I noticed a huge change in my dogs demeanor and behavior. He is now a completely different dog. He is so much more confident, calm, and affectionate. I am constantly getting compliments out in public about how well behaved he is. Working with Karlon was great - he was kind, approachable, and understanding. On top of that, they were extremely flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I'd recommend to anyone.
