Alex is the best doggie trainer and he treats my dog like family. I wanted to get her trained up as a puppy and he learned her mannerisms to understand her trouble areas. He offers group walk training in local neighborhoods or more crowded areas to help dogs get accustomed to noises people and other dogs. He also does one on one training and has helped watch my dog when I was on work trip. He's so good with her and he has his own dog, which is her new bestie.

Alex has been great with both of our dogs! He both trains and boards our dogs. He has been fantastic with our 1-year-old rambunctious big puppy in getting behavioral skills and basic training, as well as our anxious and high-need 14-year-old small dog. He is patient, communicative, and easy to work with. We are grateful we have found him!

This is the long overdue review for Alex. I have been struggling with the reactivity of my three pomeranians for a long time. I had tried group classes, private lessons, and online resources, but I didn't see any significant changes. When I contacted Alex, he invited me to join the group walk where my girls could get exposure to other dogs and strangers. The group walk provides a controlled environment where they can learn appropriate behaviors and build their confidence. Alex is there to correct the inappropriate behaviors of dogs and educate us on how we can improve things. His method works, and I am already seeing improvements. The girls are not perfect yet, but they are on the right track.P.S. Not only Alex, but also the group is wonderful. They are very kind and understanding. Thank you everyone for being so nice to the girls.

Alex has had a phenomenal impact on our dog. He is compassionate with pets with his care and his work with Daisy (and follow-up instructions) have made a world of difference. I particularly appreciated that he was always willing to listen and give a thoughtful and considered answer.

Commonwealth Pet Care has taken care of our Winston since he was a puppy, providing training, daily walking and boarding services for the past three years. Alex goes above and beyond to care for your pet. He is trustworthy, caring and treats Winston with so much love. We highly recommend Commonwealth PetCare.

Alex is fantastic with dogs. I have a German Shepard and Collie mix. My German Shepard had a bad habit of jumping on people and Alex was able to stop that behavior. He was very good in handling both my dogs. My Shepard has been with Alex since he was a pup and he’s very good with people and when he goes on his walks with other dogs. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care for your training. Thanks Alex for all you do? Anne Marie Smith.

I can’t recommend Commonwealth Pet Care enough! I’ve worked with Alex over the past several months training my puppy, Willow. He is patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He provides immediate feedback and demonstrates what to do to properly train a dog. He also provides written instructions to reference when I’m training her. Willow has made immense progress on her areas of concern and has mastered basic commands. We have attended group walk and train sessions as well which are wonderful for socializing her as well. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care.

Alex helped us with our fearful foster pup Josie in the Fall of 2022. He gave us practical and useful documentation so that we could gain the skills to help Josie succeed. We met with Alex at least once a week for several months for hands-on training, which helped Josie become more accepting of new surroundings and people. With Alex’s assistance Josie’s fears decreased and she was able to be adopted by a wonderful and patient family that vowed to continue her training. Josie is thriving today thanks to Alex’s training.

We've been working with Alex for going on 2 years this fall. He is a wonderful trainer and really works with you to help focus on areas of concern. We started when our dog was a puppy and she naturallt has a very nervous temperament and Alex has really helped us get her socialized well so that she is great around other people and she's getting ok around other dogs. We'll keep up the training with him until her confidence with other dogs is really built up. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he works with. We have also used him for boarding and had a good experience. Definitely highly recommend!!

We came to Commonwealth Pet Care from a recommendation from our vet. Our pup Stella was extremely fearful of people and other dogs and we were afraid this fear would lead to aggression. From the first “meet and greet” with Alex we knew we had found a great trainer for Stella. Alex was extremely professional and knowledgeable from the beginning. He identified Stella’s needs right away. Alex worked around our schedule and was very accommodating. Through Alex’s classical conditioning techniques Stella has become a confident and secure pup who loves to meet new people and other dogs. We have seen such a huge improvement in her behavior in such a short amount of time. We strongly recommend Alex to anyone looking for an experienced, compassionate and kind trainer. We will not hesitate to use Alex again in the future.
