(Note: This review is for my website interaction, have not dealt with them in person.) Web site has a contact us page with a free form message section, so I typed in a my question about some simple training for re-homed older German Shepard and a little back story about the dog and all I got back a pre-canned message about how they take your dog away for weeks and you have to pay $$$$$. Why even have that section if its useless??

We took our 4-month-old Golden Retriever to Alpha Canine and could not be happier with the results that we got from them training our dog Honey. Randy, Juan, and Amanda were all great from the start to the end of the process. They did exactly what they said they would do, which means a lot. The facility was always spotless. Our dog was indeed a different dog when she came home. Her whole mannerisms changed. Juan ensured we knew how to use all the commands to take home to continue training Honey before we left. We felt we gained friends more so than just training. It was worth every penny that we spent for sure. We know we can rely on them in the future if we need to.

Our Gravy boy is an 8 month old pit mix with all the will and strength that comes along with that. When we adopted Gravy, we were at a loss for how to manage his stubbornness. After two weeks with Juan he was walking on a leash well for him and after four he was completing all of his commands seamlessly. Transferring those skills over to us was the real challenge at that point, but with maintaining the training and tools we were given we had it down in no time. We are over the moon with the progress he has shown in the short amount of time we’ve had him home, and thrilled to finally be able to communicate in a productive way with our pup! I would absolutely recommend Alpha Canine to anyone looking to have a better relationship and line of communication with their pet.

Tom is professional, honest, and very detailed. He also really enjoys working on older vehicles, which was perfect for me

Took my German Shepard mix that I rescued from the Jackson pound to Randy and his team earlier this year. I couldn’t be happier with the results. My dog had absolutely no training or obedience when he arrived, but when I got him back, it was like night and day. Complete 180. My dog is very obedient and well trained now. As a result, my relationship with my dog has improved now that we can communicate effectively. Every time I walk him, I get compliments from people on how well behaved/trained he is. Would absolutely recommend.

We couldn't be more thrilled with Betty's experience at Alpha K9! Randy and Juan were so wonderful and I *thought* I was their only client until I read all of the other reviews ;) They truly make you feel like you're their top priority. Betty went in at 12 weeks and came home at 16 weeks knowing how to sit, stay, come (and more)...and is virtually potty trained. It's worth every penny and I'd never bring home another dog without them! Thank you guys so much!

The Owner did return my call. That was much appreciated. The price for badic training was to much for 1 month. Ive heard they do great work at Alpha Canine from 3 different people.

I could actually (and hope it came through) mark all of the above. Randy and Juan are our “Dog Whisperers” for our German Shepard. Tess was an unruly one year old, totally full of energy. They worked with her a month and we picked her up as a completely different dog. Six months later, they worked with her again and to this day, she has remained a sweet and loving pet. Thank you my wonderful Dog Whisperers, Randy and Juan!

Lucie my 14 month old Belgium Malinois/German Shepherd mix over the top, uncontrollable mallingator had failed 2 training and obedience courses. I was at my wits end and needed help, I found Randy Hare’s alpha canine training on line, I left a frantic message and Randy called me back immediately and said to bring her in next day. After 4 weeks boarding and training and a couple visits myself for training, Lucie came back a different dog. We now go on 2 to 3 mile walks on nature trails with lots of people, squirrels and geese. Lucie is on point!! Sit, heel and stay perfect. Everyone tells me how obedient Lucie is. I’m so thankful to Randy, Juan and Amanda for helping to make mine and Lucie’s life much happier.

We cannot say enough good things about alpha K9! We took our newly rescued 6 month old standard poodle and the transformation was incredible! She was skittish, out of control, and HYPER! She returned to us 4 weeks later with much more confidence and control.Randy was incredibly responsive to all of my questions. Juan was the one who trained her and we loved him! Both of them were so encouraging and said over and over that they were there if we needed anything.This will forever be our process for bringing in a new dog now! Thank you Juan and Randy!

4 weeks ago I dropped off my dog, Finn. She's a chocolate lab/german shepherd mix and at 18 months old had gotten so big and powerful that she was getting difficult to handle. She and I were locked in a battle of wills and neither of us were "winning." She was miserable and I was miserable. Something had to change. I had been following Randy Hare for some time and was familiar with his work. I knew that his training philosophy and what I desired for my dog would be a good match. I was not wrong! After 4 weeks of training I now have a dog that is more than just my pet. She now has the skills to fully integrate into my tiny, 1-person family unit. She needed to learn how to communicate with me and I needed to learn how to listen to her and respond with correction firmly, but fairly. I cannot recommend Alpha K-9 highly enough! I am so very thankful for having had this experience and Finn is such a happy, confident dog! Thank you, Randy! Thank you, Juan! I am looking forward to many, many years with Finn!

Absolutely please with the results of the training. Handed over my Cane Corso, “Blue” for training, and after getting her back and seeing the difference in behavior, I believe it was worth every penny. Will definitely recommend Randy and his team to anyone, and will definitely be giving them my business again in the future

The Alpha Canine Training staff in Jackson is great! My dog, Mia, is a little nervous around people and Randy and Juan made sure she felt at home. Mia has come out of training as a well-behaved dog! The staff is wonderful and makes sure your dog is being treated as their own, they even brushed Mia’s teeth three times a week!

Our experience with Alpha Canine, Mr. Hare, and Mr.Juan was way more than I even expected! While it broke my heart to leave my girls with him, even at the first visit, I could easily tell a difference in them. They seemed so happy even though they weren’t “with us”. Mr. Randy took his time going over and over the commands with us until we felt confident, and even scheduled a time for us to come back for a refresher course.... our dogs are less distracted now, and certainly more confident in their behavior! We were even fostering a puppy before, during and after my dogs were being trained and when my girls came home, they didn’t even get distracted by her and give into her trying to get them to ignore me. They stayed in place every time.I wish I would’ve brought my girls sooner, at 18 months and 2 years old, they could’ve had these tools so much sooner which would’ve made them and us happier!The staff ALWAYS returned my calls when I was calling to check on them and kept me informed of any issues they may have had (one got loose stools). My girls were the happiest they could’ve been while in their care and that peace of mind is one of the most important reason I’d recommend them. I never had to worry about the safety or security of my babies!! I thought my girls were the best dogs on the planet already, albeit they had no home training; but then I got back two EVEN BETTER dogs than they were before!One of my girls even had a VERY tumultuous relationship with my son’s cat... the cat would hiss, the dog would lunge and bark, the cat would swat, the dog would continue to lunge and bark, you get the scenario.... but BECAUSE Randy and the staff at alpha canine introduced distractions during my girls’ training, after we got them home, that same dog didn’t even acknowledge the cat when he came in the room, she stayed “placed” and never even picked her head up or changed her position!! What a PEACEFUL evening it was!

I couldn't have asked for a better training experience for my 8 month pup. They kept me up to date during his month long training session and spent two hours with me, teaching me how to work with the new skills he's learned. I left with a whole new dog, feeling reassured that if I need anything at all, they are here to help!
