ALPHA DOG TRAINING

We couldn’t be more grateful for Carrie & Alpha Dog Training! We started with a skittish, unsure puppy, and through patience, consistency, and real expertise, she helped transform him into a confident, well-behaved, affectionate German Shepard Dog. The training approach was calm, positive, and incredibly effective — not just for our dog, but for us as owners too. We learned how to communicate clearly, reinforce good behavior, and build trust. Every step was explained, demonstrated, and supported. If you have a nervous or challenging dog and want real lasting results, we highly recommend working with Carrie. The difference in our dog is remarkable! Thank you Carrie!

Amazing Dog Trainer - Carrie at Alpha Dog Training is incredible! She started training my two Golden Retriever puppies, Cosmo & Nova (brother and sister) when they were just 6 weeks old, and I am beyond impressed. They are the most well-behaved dogs I’ve ever had—listening to commands, calm, and socialized perfectly. With over 30 years of experience, Carrie is patient and knowledgeable and truly has a way with dogs. Her methods are effective, making the entire process enjoyable for me and my pups. Even my 2 older dogs are now listening to the commands and cooperating. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and caring dog trainer. Thank you, Carrie—you’re awesome!

I could not recommend Carrie / Alpha dog training enough! I was 8 months pregnant when I reached out to Carrie, worried that my dog couldn't enjoy outings & walks with our baby due to not being good on leash, and being out of control when in public. With her training she is now perfect on our walks with the stroller, and can even be off leash!! Instead of just teaching your dogs how to do things, she gets to the root and really shows you how to change the hierarchy in your household because if your dog doesn't respect you, why would they listen to you? She teaches actual life savings commands which is so important if you love your dog. This training will save your dogs life so they can enjoy everyday life with you!!!!

When I first met Carrie, my German Shepherd, Bella, lunged across the driveway at her!! I already knew that we had an issue with Bella being territorially, aggressive, but I did not realize how serious it was until that day Since working with her, Bella is now the happiest dog who loves everyone!! Bella is now also Off Leash trained and listens on-a-dime, EVERYWHERE!! I am so grateful to Carrie at Alpha Dog Training for changing our lives!!

Carrie has been absolutely fantastic- she helped us train our Labrador pup from 5/mo old, (almost 1 year now) and our 5 year old Labrador. Our pup needed some serious training, he was very head strong and possibly a little too spoiled when we first met with Carrie! ;) She set us straight with him and got us back on the right track to understand each other better and enjoy each other more!! Our 5 year old Labrador was going through an adjustment period after loosing our 14year old the summer prior, his attitude changed and he became more temperamental and territorial at home. Carrie was able to detect his more hostile/stressed behavior before we even realized, after working with Carrie he is now back to his happy "smiley" self. We couldn't be more grateful for her!! The process is not alway
