FirstBarkJay has been wonderful with our dogs. Our new dog had gotten very aggressive with our other dogs and had run away a couple times. Within a couple weeks our dogs were getting along wonderfully and everyone was a lot happier. I like that Jay and his team are readily available when and where you need them and they don't charge by the hour and by the dog.

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.

Training goals
- Behavior consultation
Program details
In this program, the foundation for basic obedience is put into place with added expectations designed to develop stronger teamwork between you and your dog. This is a great program if you’re looking to take a proactive approach to dog training and avoid some of the most common and troublesome behaviors in and around your home. 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. Effective communication is the most important aspect of your training and all communication is built on trust, boundaries, and respect. Curriculum for the Behavioral Development Program includes: walking in the heel position on- and off-leash, basic commands (heel, sit, stay, down and come), kennel acclimation, establishment of boundaries, redirect, distance recall, drop it and leave it, and go to spot.

Program details
This program is designed to protect you and your family members at home or in a vehicle. 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.

Within the past couple of weeks, we have made remarkable improvements with my 3 year old German shepherd. Very helpful and friendly staff, willing to work with you and make you feel at ease with their clever training techniques. I'm glad I invested in them.

I can not say enough about alpha and omega! I’ve never been a pet owner so I didn’t know much about dogs. Jay helped me and my family to understand the relationship between our dog and us and how to communicate with him. We are so glad to have these tools and to be a part of erasing the stigma that pit bulls carry with ours and our dogs training. Thank you Jay and everyone at alpha and omega for teaching us the skills that will last a lifetime and for the pets of our future!

My dogs Shiva and Aster have attended 5 sessions so far with Jay and the difference is uncanny. My dog Shiva has always been a flight risk, bolting as soon as the leash was off and darting into unknown territory. During our last session Jay introduced the shock collar to my dogs. We just took a walk on the beach with my pups not leaving my side and we all enjoyed our walk so much. Listen to what Jay teaches you, go home and keep practicing and you'll see amazing results. Thank you so much!
I have a new dog because of Alpha and Omega and John the trainer-in the first interview, you will be amazed- he is the local dog whisperer.
