She talked to me for as long as I needed to answer all of my questions and reassure me when we did our initial intake on the phone, and then during the appointment she took amazing and patient care of my Miss Kitty. She also gave her an adorable "report card" at the end and I got a few little goodies as well as a treat for Miss Kitty to take home. And let me tell you, Miss Kitty was in mighty need of a groom. She looked like a tuxedo version of the cat from Pet Semetary and by the time she was done she looked like a completely different cat. She's so much happier and comfortable now and no longer trying to pull her fur out. I'm definitely going to bring her back regularly, and I'm going to bring my other cat along too next time! The place is professional and clean, with great staff. There is a bathroom that is available if you need to use it, a very comfortable bench to sit on if you need to wait, and a working clock in the waiting room. There is parking directly in front of the shop and you can even park right in front of the door itself so you don't have to walk far. Wende went above and beyond for Miss Kitty and I love her for that.

Sending our 8 month old Lab to K9 Solutions for training was the best thing we ever did! They…read morehelped to shape our pup into the dog we knew he could be! Our lab is high energy, full of love, playfulness, and equal amounts of being ornery. That mixed with bringing home a brand new baby wasn't going to work. So we did some research and came across this program. After speaking with Tommy, he took the time to explain the program and why they do what they do. It put me at ease to know that our sweet pup would be in the hands of people who actually care. He will still be loved and cared for alongside his training program. While in training, we got constant pictures, videos, and updates of our pup from our trainer Amanda. That helped put our hearts at ease as we missed him every day! We saw things he was working on with the trainer, how he was responding and even got to see pictures and videos of them working with him in public at public venues that allow dogs. We got to see his progress and see that he was well taken care of and treated with love and care. We chose the 2 week training program with boarding, and even though It was hard to leave our pup for 2 weeks, it was the best decision we ever made!!! When boarding the dogs, they are well cared for. They are kept clean, healthy and have special attention time outside of just training. They also allowed us to come to the facility to work with our pup when his training was over. This was to teach us all the ins and outs of what he had learned, and have the trainers guidance as we worked our pup on the different commands. When we welcomed our pup back home after his training, we couldn't have been more impressed! He was still our sweet and loving high-energy puppy, but he had control! He listened to commands, we were able to create boundaries at home, he no longer jumped on us but could be excited and contain himself. He was a brand new dog, but yet still the sweet, fun-loving dog we knew! Most importantly, he was gentle and easy with our newborn baby girl. We no longer worry if he is going to jump on us as we are carrying her or jump on the furniture when we are sitting with her. Instead, he sits next to us or walks alongside us as her protector. One of the best parts of this training is knowing that we have lifetime support from K9 Solutions. When you do a board and train, you will get lifetime support from them to do refresher courses if needed. It is so reassuring to know that if we need additional help, they will be there for us at no additional charge! If it wasn't for Tommy's confidence in his program and reassurance that our pup would come back the same pup but better, I don't know what we would have done. I could tell the love that Tommy had for what he does and that was all I needed to know. Our trainer Amanda was phenomenal! You can tell she is a pro and natural at what she does! And you can tell she loves what she does! Her love, care, and commitment to the pups she is training is evident and we couldn't be more thankful to her for all she did for our pup! She even did an at home check with us 2 weeks after brought him home to make sure there was no regression! He was so excited to see her, and it was like he was ready to work again, knowing who she was! We highly recommend K9 Solutions and their training programs! They are professionals that care about the dogs, and take pride and dedication in what they do. This is one of the most well rounded training programs that is run for all the right reasons. If you are considering training for your pup, look no further! We are forever grateful for them and what they did for our pup!

I have waited a while to write this review but I felt that I must do so out of caution for the…read moreother pet owners. I take no joy in leaving this review but after the truly horrific experience our family experienced, I think it should be shared. I cannot recommend that anyone ever board their dogs with Alpha Dog Training Center. This past Christmas (2024) we needed to board our two dogs for 4 days and picked Alpha Dog. We had boarded them there in the past, with our boys always staying in a private kennel run by themselves. On the morning of December 24th, 2024, I got a call from the owner of Alpha Dog. She informed me that one of my dogs was not feeling/looking well. She told me that he was lethargic and had diarrhea in his bed. She asked if it was alright for her to take him to the vet, which we immediately agreed to and said we would meet her there. A few minutes later I received another call from her saying that my dog was dead. He died in that kennel with only his brother by his side. We will never truly know why it happened or how. We didn't get to say goodbye. He was only seven years old, and as healthy as any dog could be. The owner brought him to the vet, and I will say she genuinely seemed heartbroken. After saying goodbyes at the vet, we immediately went to Alpha Dog so we could get our other dog. We met the owner in the front training room, where she was greeting other customers and taking their dogs in for boarding before the holiday. Eventually they brought our other dog out to us. At this point the owner asked us for payment and charged us the full four day amount for both dogs. Reminder that this was only two days in and we were leaving with just one dog. We paid the full amount, feeling very uneasy and left. Now I will give Alpha Dog credit, they eventually reimbursed us the extra two days our dogs were not there. But this was only after one of my family members had reached out and told them it was not right that they charged us like that. I did not know they reached out to Alpha Dog until after I told them the business was sending us a reimbursement check. While I understand Alpha Dog is a business, I feel it was wrong of them to charge us at all, even for the two days our dogs were there. It is not the money that makes it upsetting but the principal of the matter. We paid them to watch over and take care of our boys. Instead, one of them died while at their facility. I looked over the dogs boarding items/supplies once we got home. I had given Alpha Dog 6 days worth of food for BOTH dogs, 12 days worth of food total. Each dog was supposed to get one measured cup of food twice a day. I wrote it on both their food bags, told Alpha Dog employees including the owner multiple times, and included the single cup scoop to use. When I checked the food that was left after only two days of boarding, there was about 3 cups left. That means Alpha Dog fed our dogs roughly 10.5 days worth of food in a two day period. While I obviously will never know what truly killed my dog, the overfeeding by Alpha Dog staff will always stick out in my mind. I write this as a warning for others, as well as a way to vent my extreme frustration and disappointment. I loved my dog so much and always will. He was everything to us and brought us so much joy. But now I cannot even think about him without also thinking of this excruciatingly painful day. While I will never know for certain what killed my best bud, I cannot help but feel that the overfeeding by Alpha Dog was a factor if not the direct cause. If you are thinking of boarding your dog at Alpha Dog I beg you to please reconsider. If there are any other safe options, even if more inconvenient or costly, I believe you should go with those instead. To the Alpha Dog staff, I understand this was a horrible experience for us all and I do appreciate the owner bringing our dog to the vet. You obviously did not do anything maliciously or on purpose. But please talk with all your staff about proper dog care, feeding regiments and portion control even if you have already done so. I'd also ask in extreme cases like this one that you put business to the side entirely and just be there for your customer. Again, it is not the money that made me upset in this regard, but instead how dirty it made me feel having to pay you after my dog died in your care. I never want someone else to experience the same pain we had to endure so please, for the wellbeing of all the other dogs out there, please do better.
