Laz completely changed our lives with our puppy, and I truly can’t say enough amazing things about him! We came to him overwhelmed, exhausted, and honestly wondering if things would ever get easier — and the transformation has been unbelievable. Not only did he help train our puppy, but he taught us how to communicate, build trust, and create structure in a way that actually works. Our puppy is calmer, more confident, better behaved, and genuinely happier. Walks are enjoyable now, recall is incredible, and we finally feel like we can relax and enjoy him instead of constantly stressing. Laz is patient, knowledgeable, professional, and so clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to understand our goals and made us feel supported every step of the way. If you’re debating hiring a trainer, do yourself a favor and call Laz!! It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made for our dog and for ourselves.

Laz is the best. He came to our house and in 6 sessions he worked miracles with our energetic pup and taught us life skills for our other 2 dogs and all future fur babies. It was a pleasure working with him. Highly recommend his training course.

We cannot recommend Laz highly enough! He is incredibly patient, educational, and kind! It made every session something we actually looked forward to. Before starting training with Laz, walks were a bit of a challenge, but now they are so much more enjoyable. Our dog is noticeably happier, more relaxed, and more confident, and honestly, we are too! We couldn’t be happier with the results and feel so much better equipped to support our pup. Thank you, Laz!!!!!

Laz has been helping me with my 3 year old Poodle Schnauzer mix. I have really enjoyed learning how to work with my dog to be better socialized and less stressed meeting new people. I am now able to take her to work with me and enjoy our walks. His training is fun and easy and it works. I will continue to see Laz for more training and for boarding to continue the training we have started while I am on vacation.

I took my almost 2 year old boy Toby to stay with Laz for three weeks of boarding training. He came back a new dog! Laz knows what makes dogs tick. And when Toby came home, Laz made sure I knew what to do to continue Toby’s learning. We are now a team and both mom and dog are happier. 100% I would recommend Alpha Buddy Dog Training!

Business response

Hi Maggie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Toby had such a positive experience during his three weeks of boarding training with Laz. It's fantastic to know that Toby has come back as a "new dog" and that you both feel like a stronger team now. Laz is truly passionate about understanding and working with dogs, and it's great to hear that his guidance has made a difference for you and Toby. Your recommendation means a lot to us. If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Best wishes, The Alpha Buddy Dog Training Team
