Omaha, NE

“He took our leash pulling, ball loving Labrador Retriever and helped him channel that energy into jobs that keep him busy. One of the best things he taught Gus was place on his cot, which has become his safe space and favorite place to relax while I’m working from home!"

Erin S

Lincoln, NE

"We would highly recommend Alex because you can tell he truly loves dogs and treats them as if they were his. Sending your dog away for 6 weeks is hard, and doubly hard when you have two that are gone for a stretch of 12 weeks. But it was made so much better knowing they were in his care."

Bailey J

Gretna, NE

“Our Bernedoodle/Goldendoodle puppy Grover went to him at almost 5 months old. It isn't easy handing over your puppy for 6 weeks of training, but Alex laid out a great schedule and plan for our family and he loved our pup and made him a part of his family. Grover even got to do a large family Christmas with his training family! We received updates, videos and photos and communication was fantastic.”

If you are looking for an attentive, caring and meticulous trainer, Alex is your guy! He goes out of his way to keep you updated every step of the way. His attention to detail is unmatched!

REACH OUT TO ME

6 STEP PROCESS

The dog must want to work before anything. That is why a six-week investment delivers what a two-week program cannot.

Week 1

Food Luring &

Hand Commands

I build a strong foundation of obedience using positive reinforcement and what dogs naturally understand — food. This early engagement creates a lasting bond and trust, which carries through the remaining weeks of training and sets the stage for reliable results.

Week 2

Leash Commands

I layer in leash skills to guide the dog into all required positions with clarity. By this stage, your dog will already be walking beautifully on a leash.

Week 3

Voice Commands &

Intro to E-Collar

There’s a specific reason voice commands aren’t introduced until week three. Ask me, and I’ll walk you through exactly why that timing matters.

Week 4

Low Level Distractions

This is when reliability begins to show. I don’t start proofing reliability until week four — once the dog has a solid foundation in place.

Week 5

Medium Level Distractions

This is the stage when you begin to see the impressive videos I share. I don’t limit your dog to situations where success is guaranteed — I intentionally place them in controlled scenarios where they need guidance. That allows me to do the hard work now, so the burden isn’t on you when they return home.

Week 6

Public Proofing

I take your dog on real outdoor outings and public field trips to fully test and proof their on- and off-leash obedience in real-world environments.

✨ The training investment itself is not listed — because what you’re paying for isn’t just tools, it's the training I put in each day with your dog.

True reliability is worth more than doing it twice with cheaper programs that don’t work.

A dog can be perfectly trained, but if the owner doesn’t know how to handle, reinforce, or correct consistently, the results will fade.

Most trainers give you a quick 60–120 minute “good luck” hand-off. That is not enough time to teach you how to confidently run the system your dog learned.

I invest around 5-10 hours of owner training because:

You need time to practice with coaching, not just watch
Real understanding requires repetition and questions
Mistakes can be corrected before they become habits
Confidence comes from doing, not hearing instructions once
Your dog must learn to respond to you, not just to me

You’re not just receiving a trained dog — you’re being trained to maintain that training for life. That requires more than a quick demo and a handshake.

Short hand-offs create dependency. Extensive owner education creates independence — and lasting results.

My program isn’t a quick “two-week bootcamp” run by assistants in a warehouse. I work with only one or two dogs at a time, in my home, and I personally do every repetition of training myself. Then I spend about 10 hours teaching you how to keep the results for life — not a rushed 60–90 minute hand-off.

You’re also getting a system that is proven to work anywhere: inside, outside, off leash, around real-world distractions — not just inside a training room. That level of reliability requires time, expertise, controlled repetitions, and advanced tools.

In short: You’re not buying six weeks of babysitting — you’re buying the peace of mind of knowing your dog will listen anywhere, for the rest of their life.

That’s why people pay more for this instead of paying twice for something that doesn’t work the first time.

Because I don’t train dogs only in quiet, controlled environments — I train for the real world.

Most training fails outside because it was only taught in easy conditions with no distractions. I intentionally take dogs through a progression:

Teach the behavior in a calm setting
Reinforce it in moderate distractions
Proof it in real-life environments — stores, parks, sidewalks, children, dogs, noise, movement

By the time a command is “finished,” the dog has already practiced it in situations that look like your actual life — not just on a living room rug.

I don’t just teach commands — I make sure the dog understands how to follow those commands everywhere, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient. That is the difference between “good in training” and reliable in the real world.

I work with all breeds and all sizes — from small companion dogs to large working and guardian breeds. My program is designed around behavior and communication, not breed stereotypes, so the same training principles apply whether you have:

Retrievers, doodles, spaniels, or companion breeds
Shepherds, Malinois, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Corsos, or other power breeds
Terriers, hounds, bully breeds, or mixes of any kind

I do not limit training based on breed. What matters is your goals, your dog’s current behavior, and whether you want them to be reliable in real-world situations.

If you have a specific breed you’d like to ask about, I’m happy to discuss it — but in short: If it has a brain and a heartbeat, I can train it.
