We enrolled our mini bernedoodle in the 4 week board and train program, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we’ve made for him and us! Four weeks later Jax came back an entirely different, and confident dog. Jax was able to learn proper respect, training commands, socialization, and walking on a leash without pulling. I really enjoyed the follow up training session with Zach where I was taught how to use the “tools “ necessary to ensure our dog could continue his success after the board and train program. The lessons I learned through Zach will carry with me for a lifetime. I highly recommend contacting Alpha K9 Connections for a consultation if you’re looking for a better relationship with your dog or just looking to learn how to be a true leader for your dog in general. No one in town offers the knowledge, patience , and care that you will find at Alpha K9 Connections.

Zack is an absolutely amazing trainer. Any and all of my concerns were answered with his knowledge and experience that completely put me at ease. My dog, Maverick, is night and day different after going through his program. During the training homework Zack was always available and quick to answer questions I had. Doesn’t matter what kind of training you’re looking for Alpha K9 is there to help. 10000 out of 10 recommend them for all training help you need.

We did a two week board and train program with Zach for our 9 month old German shepherd and the difference in obedience once we picked her up was AMAZING. Our five year old was even able to walk her in a public space on her leash with no issues. We’d recommend Zach / alpha k9 connections to anyone in need of dog training!

Zach took on the challenge of training our two young pups for two weeks. Needless to say, he did a great job. Originally, our dogs would pull on the leash and go to any human or animal seen during a walk. Now we are able to walk without any pulling or distractions. Zach is very professional and friendly, there was never any judgement or doubt from him about the pups, he always shared helpful information to help is continue training at home. Would definitely recommend!

Zach has been our dog trainer for two years, and I can say I highly recommend him! He operates with professionalism and integrity towards his clients and their dogs. Even though my dog was horrible in the beginning, I never felt judged by Zach. In my experience, his teaching style was slow to speak and quick to listen, and when he did speak, it was useful information. As with most new things, it was a little uncomfortable at first, and also very humbling, as I learned it was my own doing that got myself in this predicament with my dog! Now I'm thankful for the balance of truth and non-judgment that I noticed in his teaching style. My dog, Myles, is a very active boxer who loves people and tends to jump and pull in high energy situations, and he has improved so much since training. I still have to work with Myles a lot in order to keep him on track, and when I slack in training, Myles does too. Thankfully, Zach has been gracious to give advice and help along the way, which has always been helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reputable dog trainer!
