AlphA and Omega Dog Training - Cleveland

"We rescued our 1 year German Shepherd Ruger from a Southern Ohio GSD rescue and he was quite the handful. No training or discipline, serious fear aggression. I thought I made a big mistake getting him. I found Alpha and Omega online. I knew we had to do something. Karlon came out and was not afraid of crazy Rugers aggressive barking lunging and growling. I know I was. I felt I couldn’t trust him around anyone or have anyone over my house. Especially not my granddaughters. We trained with Karlon who is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and training. We trained Ruger on all the basic commands. Learned a lot about handling the leash. Did a little off leash training. Ruger has gone from an aggressive untrustworthy guy to a lover boy who is much calmer and able to be with people he doesn’t know without reacting. We went to a park for training and exposure to people and dogs and even to Home Depot for one or our trainings. Ruger did great! Couldn’t have done it without Karlon. My kids, granddaughters and friends can now come over without fear that he will react negatively or fearfully. Thank you Karlon!!! Ruger thanks you too! Rhondi and Darrell Bieshada"

"Karlon is amazing, if you are looking for a reliable, consistent and professional trainer, do not look further, this is your guy!!! My German Shepherd is aggressive and dislike new people; Karlon handled him with no problems. I was so concerned my dog started to like him more than me LOL. Moreover, different than other trainers (companies) Karlon took the time to teach me how to handle him and gave me great tips. Before, I was so afraid to take my dog into public places, but after the training with Karlon we both do great… Check the pic I have attached to this review… By far this is your guy! Thank you Karlon for your time and dedication."

"Karlon is a fantastic trainer. He trained my GSD when he was around 8 months. He teaches you how to train the dog so that you can train them even after the training period is over. I am very happy that I chose Alpha Omega . A big thank you to Karlon!"

"Karlon I have never used a dog trainer. Before and I am so pleased that I did because my dog has turned out to be so well behave I could never have done that by myself. It was worth every penny to have her the way she is today. I have had many dogs. And this is the first one that i had trained and it was so easy to bring her into my home and see that she was potty, trained, She knew commands. Very well, behaved very surprise how well she was doing.There was no problem whatsoever thank you again karlon A text is the picture of my beautiful baby First picture now second picture then."

"Training with Karlon turned out to be the best decision we made for ourselves and our three year old Hound mix, Hendricks. When we first rescued Hendricks he had been in and out of shelters and rescues for a few months, and was really needing structure and stability, as well as some obedience and behavioral modification. We tried PetsMart training and that was a mistake, certainly not the best option for people dealing with issues like biting and reactivity. The constant throwing of treats and letting them run the show might work for some dogs but it definitely didn't work for our more dominant-natured dog. So after that, we came to Alpha and Omega. The difference after working with Karlon is night and day! Karlon is always so calm and controlled when working with us and our pup, and we couldn't be more thankful for all his guidance. Hendricks was definitely acting out before because he needed us to take the lead and Karlon showed us how to do it! Hendricks is now sitting, staying, heeling and walking on leash like a pro, "leaving it" and holding spot whenever needed, especially when guests first arrive instead of jumping up at and nipping at them. And he is so happy!! He loves the structure and knowing what's expected of him, he is always smiling ear to ear. Best of all, Karlon helped us train Hendricks to understand that our kitty is OFF LIMITS and now we can finally have both our pets in the same room and the dog completely leaves the cat alone. We also have worked on his reactivity and now he can joyfully run around and play with our friend's dog. We even were able to take him on his first camping trip. We are beyond thankful for Karlon and all the work he's done with us. If you train your dogs the right way with the right trainer they will truly shine and live their best doggie life!!!"
