“After completing the group classes offered by the major pet supplies store, we knew we needed to do something more to help channel the energy of our 70lb Boxer puppy! We fortunately found Alec and have loved working with him from the very start. His 1 on 1 training is exactly what we needed. Alec is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and most of all, has a genuine love for canines. With Alec’s help our puppy is still extremely playful but now has the manners to be successful in a wide variety of settings. We 100% recommend Alec for any of your training needs!”
“Alec trained our dog when we first got her as a puppy. His training was great. Alec took his time, answered our questions, addressed all behavioral concerns before they became issues, and made sure we understood what we needed to do. The training was as much for us as it was for our dog. Our dog is well-behaved and does what we ask her to do. She is an absolute pleasure to have as part of our family and it wouldn’t have been that way without Alec. We highly recommend Alec and would not hesitate to have him train any future dogs we may add to our family.”
“Alec is awesome! He trained our German Shepherd from sit to stay to walking off leash! He was always available during the week between classes to answer any questions we would have and not only did he train our puppy he trained us as well so we were more effective with what we were working with our puppy! Would recommend him to anybody!!!”
“We had Alec train our german shepherd and he did an amazing job. Always there to answer any questions big or small and help if you have hit a road bump in your training. I recommend him to anyone that is getting a dog of any age.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Alec for over a year and some change and cannot recommend him enough if you looking for affordable and flexible training for your dog.”
“I could go on and on about Alec’s graceful handling of dogs, how responsive and flexible he is, but I would just say GIVE HIM A CALL AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF.”
“Alec was recommended to us via our vet. Our pup had a tremendous amount of anxiety and fear and it made him incredibly unpredictable. Alec was trained to specifically deal with these behavior issues so we scheduled a meet and greet if you will. You can tell right away Alec is a down to earth, caring dude that is in it to help the animals he trains. Utah is a different dog in the best of ways and while he will always need us reinforcing structure and avoiding specific things Alec saved our dogs life. We gained a much healthier and happy existence with our dog who is a intregal part of our family and a genuine friend in Alec. He’s good people. He will forever be appreciated.”
“Amazing dog results…THX to Alec who taught me how to transform an anxious and wild rescue pup into a well-behaved therapy dog! Awesome customer communication! We met all the goals we set. The thing I love most is that I can really see the Alec likes my dog! Heartily recommend Alec!”
“After the success a family had with Alec I knew as soon as I got my new puppy that I wanted him to be trained by Alec. Griffin has made amazing strides since his first lesson. I recommend Alec to everyone I know!”
“Highly recommend training with Alec’s K9 Academy! Very professional, thorough and has an answer to all dog related issues. Alec helped with some behavior modification and touching up obedience with my 2y.o belgian malinois. Was very impressed with his methodology and the way he reads the dog to provide a well balanced and effective training plan for his clients. I will be continuing to use Alec’s K9 Academy for more advanced training! His mom’s cookies are delicious too.”
“Trained my golden with Alec and it was a great experience. We learned so much and Brax is a very well behaved dog. He is great on and off leash. I will definitely use Alec again when I get my next puppy!! Highly recommend”
“My fiancé and I had Alec train our german shepherd, kai. She was a crazy puppy who could not stay still. He was very helpful throughout the whole process and I can’t imagine how she’d be without it! Highly recommend!”
“We brought our first puppy home in June and I knew I wanted to start professional training immediately. I could not be happier that we came across Alec! He answers any question we might have with ease. He has been incredible with our puppy and we constantly have people commenting on how well behaved our pup is especially at such a young age, we always point them in Alec’s direction. We are so thankful and will absolutely use Alec for any future new pups we add to our family. I would recommend him to anyone (I already do any chance I get!)”
“100% recommend Alec’s K9! After rescuing a young dog terrified of everything he helped me make everyday life a lot easier to function and helped guide my dog in the right direction with meeting new people. Alec helped shape my second dog that came into my life that has helped me tremendously with my medical needs and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve tried previous trainers and never had any improvement before I met Alec. He’s very responsive to all his current clients and past clients, affordable, has good communication, and heck I’ll give him credit on his humor 😀”
“We loved working with Alec! He was friendly and professional and has so much knowledge about dogs. Training was always something we looked forward to. We have a 3yr old German Shepherd who has major anxiety and would become overly protective and scared with people as they entered our home. We had done some basic obedience training with her before but It got to the point where we were worried about our friends safety when they would come over. After working with Alec, our dog now just lays in her spot calmly when people come over until we release her to greet our guests. She now knows that she can trust us and take her cues from us instead of her fear. We are so happy that we can have people over without concern and have really enjoyed working with our dog on all kinds of obedience training. We really appreciated too that Alec was flexible and continues to offer additional training opportunities to us even though Luna has “graduated” from her initial training.”
“I am forever grateful to Alec for helping us with our two rescue puppies, Zara and Sasha. The puppies were like a stampede of elephants running through the house! The humans had no control. And most of all, Sasha, had so much fear-based aggression toward anyone she didn’t know. She wanted to bite everyone! We would have never been able to keep her if we hadn’t found Alec. He helped us gain control of both dogs and helped Sasha understand that she didn’t need to be afraid of new people. At Christmas, we had 18 people in our house one day and we didn’t have to crate either dog. In fact, Sasha now loves everyone she meets after just a few minutes in a down stay. All because of Alec!”
“Was fortunate enough to have him train my Pure Bred Siberian Husky while she was still young and the results have shown ever since. If you know anything about breeds Husky’s are not easy but going through Alec’s for both on-leash and off-leash training has made my life so much easier in handling Jazz since working from home is becoming more of a norm in my field.”
“Searched, found, and reached out to Alec on Facebook because I had a 4-month-old Doberman puppy who needed training and I needed a break. Alec was super cool and provided the training he stated he would and some. I preferred the weekly board and train over the home visit training because he was able to train and learn quicker also gave me a break from a new puppy. I would definitely use Alec’s services again if I wasn’t leaving Ohio.”
“Alec helped me train my service dog. We had gone through other courses, but Alec helped me understand my dogs thought process and how to communicate with her effectively. We just got a puppy, and he will be going through Alec’s classes as well!”
“This is our third dog and first professional training experience. I’m so happy we made this investment! We looked around at a few trainers but were sold by Alec’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and flexibility with schedule! Highly recommend!”
“Alec trained our miniature poodle Brady when he was only 4 months old. Alec is a joy to work, so personable, and it is quite clear how much he loves dogs. Alec is always happy to help with any issues that have come up in the 3 years we’ve had Brady and Brady still loves him to this day! I didn’t know what to expect initially but Alec explained the process to me, put my mind at ease, and trained me how to communicate with Brady. It was the best thing I ever did for Brady and for me! I highly recommend Alec!”
