Alpha Instincts Dog Training

My family brought our dog Max, a German Shepherd mix, into our household just prior to the beginning of the pandemic. We quickly realized that the issues he had (reactivity to some people, dogs, and situations) were beyond our ability to resolve. Because of the lockdowns and related family issues, we needed to be able to train at home. Rachel Moore and Alpha Instincts came to the rescue and helped us in more ways than I can describe.

TLDR: noticeable results and a friendly staff We worked with both Rachel and Megan during this process. Rachel would come and do house visits and was very approachable and responsive. Willie even took a liking to her and he does not normally like new people, which made us significantly more comfortable with them training him. Megan was the one who did the 4 week training, which we wish she had met him prior to the start day (our only complaint). She was very responsive and sent tons of photos of him in training. Sooo much improvement in his behavior on leash.

I reached out to Alpha Instincts Training after I was continuing to have some reactivity issues with my dog. He had a hard time passing other dogs without lunging and barking at them and he got really nervous in environments with a lot of people. I had done his training on my own prior, but felt stuck and unable to progress further and new I needed help from a professional! I initially met with Megan for my evaluation and she walked me through what the process would be like. I ended up working with Amy, who was in training, and also met Rachel, the owner, who shadowed our sessions.
