The 90 minutes we spent with Rick was the best thing we have done for us in terms of reigning in some of the over exuberant behavior of our 4 year old mini-golden doodle. It's a game changer for anyone who loves their dog but also needs to gain their total respect.

Excellent service! I am a novice at dog training. Rick have me clear instructions and my dog responded well. I really appreciate his expertise!
Rick is an extremely experienced trainer. He is consistent, knowledgeable, and patient with both dogs and owners. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in quality training.

Rick worked wonders for not only my Rottweiler, Axil, but for me as well. He taught Axil place. He taught me to use several commands. Axil is a rescue with a sad past history causing him some behavioral issues that Rick simply doesn’t tolerate. He really knows how to handle any dog he comes across. From sit, stay, come down- good down- good boy- that’s a good boy Axil. He teaches the commands and with practice, practice and consistency your dog is in your control.If I could give Rick 10 stars I would.

My human said we were going to “FedEx training,” so naturally I assumed I’d be learning how to drive the truck. Imagine my disappointment when I realized it was me being trained, not me doing the deliveries. Still, I gave it a fair shake. Rick Alto. - Very treat‑forward. I respect that. - Spoke fluent “good boy,” which is essential. - Knew how to redirect my enthusiasm without crushing my artistic spirit. Curriculum; - Sit: Nailed it. I’ve been sitting since birth. - Stay: I stayed… emotionally. Physically? We’re working on it. - Leave it: Why would I leave it. It’s mine. But fine, I’ll pretend. - Loose‑leash walking: I call it “creative movement.” They call it “pulling.” Tomato, tomahto. Environment: - Clean floors perfect for dramatic flops. - Plenty of space for zoomies (they said “no zoomies,” but I heard “controlled enthusiasm”). Treat Quality High. Very high. I would unionize for these treats. 4.8 out of 5 tail wags. Docking .2 because they still won’t let me drive the truck.
