Hello, I'm Frank.
Founder & Owner of Alpha Obedience Dog Training. Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege of meeting and helping thousands of clients. I love being able to see a change not in just the dog but the owner as well. I have the most rewarding job, getting to meet so many people and dogs, and helping them live their best life. Not to mention, I get to do it all with my wife, daughter, and sister by my side, we make quite the team! I've seen it all when it comes to dogs. I promise you if you do what I teach you at home, you will have great success!
It all started many years ago with my best friend, my inspiration- Loki
Loki was my long-haired German Shepherd with an astounding blood line. It was through him that I learned so much. Not only how to understand a dog's drive and what makes them work, but also how to be patient and committed. He was the best dog I have ever trained, and I am ever so grateful for him and the bond we shared.
What "Alpha" Truly Means

Our Training Philosophy
Alpha Obedience employsย full-spectrum training.
Although each dog is different, the way a dog learns is consistent.ยWe 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, Mikeyโs presence is felt every day- in our home, our hearts, and the work we continue in his honor.
