What Our Customers Say
Janine and Nick have been an integral part in our puppy's upbringing. They showed us how to communicate effectively and helped us train him. Professional, helpful, and full of knowledge. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience. Our 4-month-old puppy Max was distracted by everything. Within a short time he became calm, focused, and walks confidently off-leash. They trained us too. The results speak for themselves.
I can't say enough great things. Janine and Nick taught me and our puppy so many important skills. Patient and knowledgeable, truly dog whisperers. Such a pleasure working with them.
Fantastic trainers. Knowledgeable, effective, and flexible. They worked with our 1-year-old lab on leash training and reactivity. Our dog loves them and we highly recommend Alpha Dog K9.
An asset to the dog community of Long Island. I was fearful of training without treats. Not one treat was used and my golden retriever listens and loves her walks. Can't thank them enough.
