Alpha Obedience Dog Training
For more than 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of dogs and their owners achieve lasting results. True transformation doesn’t just happen in the dog - it happens in the owner. When both ends of the leash change, everything changes.
I’ve seen it all. And I stand behind what I teach: if you consistently apply the training at home, you’ll see powerful results.
Alpha Obedience was built from the ground up with my family by my side. We believe in doing things the right way, building lifelong relationships, and creating a community you’re proud to be part of. When you train with us, you’re not just signing up for lessons - you’re joining the AODT family!
The Dog Who Started It All
Loki, my long-haired German Shepherd, came from an outstanding bloodline, but what made him special wasn’t just his pedigree. He taught me how to read drive, how to channel energy into purpose, and how powerful patience and commitment can be in training.
I’m incredibly grateful for the bond we shared. He played a foundational role in shaping both my philosophy and Alpha Obedience itself.
What "Alpha" Truly Means
Why “𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚” Obedience? 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭!We know some people hear the word "Alpha" and picture harsh, outdated training methods- but that's NOT what we're about! At Alpha Obedience Dog Training, "Alpha" simply means being a responsible leader for your dog. It's about guidance, trust, and communication- not fear or intimidation.Dogs thrive when they have a calm, confident leader who sets clear expectations and provides structure. That's what we help YOU become! Our methods are based on science, respect, and results, making training a fun and positive experience for both you and your dog. So, if you've ever wondered about our name- now you know!
Our Training Philosophy
Alpha Obedience employs full-spectrum training. Although each dog is different, the way a dog learns is consistent.
We are experienced in all areas of dog training, whether it is rewarding the dog or offering required corrections. We don't just overlook undesirable behaviors; we seek to overcome them in order to create a positive experience.
All of our training focuses on building confidence, creating attainable goals, and rewarding consistent behavior. Fear or intimidation are never used to train our dogs.
The bottom line is, having a good relationship with your dog requires engagement, structure, and clear communication.We are here to train your dog, and educate you.
In loving memory of our Mikey
Mikey was the soul of our home and the foundation of our training journey. He was deeply loved by our family, not just as a working shepherd, but as a constant companion, protector, and friend. His loyalty, gentleness, and quiet strength shaped the way we live with and understand dogs. Though he is no longer with us, Mikey’s presence is felt every day- in our home, our hearts, and the work we continue in his honor.
