I took my 6 month old puppy to Alpha One for training. After one week she came back so much more confident and with great manners. She goes to her place and stays, walks well on the leash with no pulling, and follows basic commands with very little correction. Gianna and Renee have been so helpful in making these changes stick at home, breaking down the steps, and getting buy in from the rest of the family to reinforce the lesson. I would recommend them unequivocally!

recently moved to St Pete and was anxious about finding a reliable dog sitter for our shy rescue pup Abby, while we are often out of town. Gianna has been nothing but great to us and Abby, helping us with some behavioral training and always keeping us updated when Abby is with her. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Gianna and Renee enough. They got my one-year-old Frenchie, Pickles, to actually follow the training, and she is like a better version of herself in every possible way. Her goofy personality is the same; her behaviors are just under control. When I came to Alpha One, I was fed up with the dog training world after being blown off by one trainer multiple times and by others who didn't understand the problems or made her behaviors seem worse than they were. With Alpha One, I was finally confident that Pickles would be in good hands, which is a big accomplishment considering Pickles is my absolute world. They are communicative, and you are informed on the process every step of the way. All of the pictures and videos do wonders in easing an anxious mom's mind. Pickles legitimately looked like she was having fun while learning. My only regret truly is that I did not find them sooner. I was genuinely sad that her training was over because the support I received was phenomenal; however, just because the training is over does not mean the support is. Gianna always emphasizes reaching out; she reached out to me when I had a quiet week and did not say much. I truly cannot say enough good things about Alpha One. I continuously refer people there proudly for boarding, training, or daycare. Pickles continues to go to daycare there, and she is always ecstatic. I simply cannot write enough good things about Renee and Gianna and their style. (Photo is Pickles showing off her new trick of going to place with her buddy). Pickles and I love Alpha One

If you're looking for last-minute dog boarding in Tampa with a trainer you can actually trust, Alpha Dog One Training is the real deal. I was traveling through Tampa with my black lab/Australian shepherd mix, Lucca, when an unexpected situation came up and I desperately needed emergency short-term dog boarding on zero notice. Morgan and Renee responded immediately, fit us in without hesitation, and made the whole experience completely stress-free.
From the moment I dropped Lucca off, it genuinely felt like leaving him with family — not a facility. The warm, personalized care they provided gave me total peace of mind for both nights. As a nervous pet parent handing off my dog to strangers last-minute, that kind of trust is everything.
Here's what really blew me away: Lucca has always been a jumper — we're talking full-on, enthusiastic greetings that knock people over. Two nights with Morgan and Renee, and that behavior has noticeably improved. I wasn't even expecting professional dog training to be part of the deal, but here we are. That's the kind of above-and-beyond, results-driven dog training and boarding combo that you just don't find everywhere.
On top of all that, the pricing for overnight dog boarding in Tampa was completely reasonable — especially for the level of individualized attention and training reinforcement Lucca received.
Whether you need trusted dog boarding, professional obedience training, or both, Alpha Dog One Training delivers. Highly recommend Morgan, Renee, and the whole team to anyone in the Tampa Bay area.

Renee is an amazing dog trainer as well as Morgan!! I can’t thank them enough for all of the hard work they do! We can’t wait for our new puppy to get trained by this amazing team and become the greatest service dog.
