"In the summer of 2025 I adopted a Chihuahua mix, Rebel, from a local shelter. She has a huge personality but I could not calm her down long enough to train her. I was unsure if I could keep her and was heartbroken by the thought. I found Greg, and signed her up to stay with him while he trained her. I was fearful to leave her, but this was the BEST decision. Greg did everything he said he would and she is impeccably trained! I can take her anywhere which has dramatically improved my life. Greg taught me clearly how to keep her skills up and made sure I was comfortable continuing her training. I travel a lot for work and my first choice when I can’t take Rebel with me is to board her with Greg."

"I met Greg at the park while walking my dog, Honey. On that particular day, Honey pulled so hard on the leash that I fell to the ground. Someone nearby mentioned that Greg was at the park conducting a dog training session with one of his dogs. I immediately walked over, introduced myself, and asked for his phone number. Before long, Greg began training Honey. Throughout the training process, he stayed in constant communication with me while Honey was in his care. Every day, he sent me videos showing Honey learning new commands and behaviors. I was amazed to see her doing things I never imagined she would be able to do. Watching her progress gave me confidence in both Honey and Greg's training methods."

"I was at the point where I couldn’t take my dog anywhere. He was aggressive with people coming to the house and would lose his mind if somebody got too close to me. I had a trainer before Alpha Ark who basically told me my dog was just ‘dominant’ and that was that. Greg actually took the time to figure out what was going on with him. I can have people over now. I can take him places. I don’t have that feeling in my stomach anymore every time someone walks through the front door and that’s a pretty big deal."

"In I have a German Shepherd with a lot of drive and honestly I was getting tired of people telling me I needed to calm him down or rehome him. I wanted him trained but I also wanted him to be able to do something with all that energy. These guys understood that. We worked on obedience and then started incorporating more of the things my dog actually enjoys. He’s a completely different dog in the house now because he knows what is expected of him. Alpha Ark was recommended to me by someone I trust and I’m glad I listened to them."

"I My golden doodle used to drag me down the street whenever we would go out. I’m not a small guy and this dog would still have me looking stupid. Tried training her myself, tried a couple collars, nothing really worked. Sent him to Alpha Ark and when I got him back I was like ok, this is actually different. Greg showed me what to do and I just had to keep doing it consistently. Now I can walk him without getting my arm ripped out of the socket so I’ll take it and he knows how to act in public. Definitely recommend Alpha Ark."

"I was referred to Alpha Ark after a rather unpleasant experience with another trainer. My dog had developed significant reactivity following an incident with another dog and I was increasingly reluctant to take her into public spaces. I appreciated that Greg did not treat the situation as though there were a single, simplistic explanation for her behavior. He spent time observing her and then gradually introduced her to different environments. The progress was not immediate, but it was consistent. I now feel considerably more confident managing her in situations that previously would have been overwhelming for both of us. I am very grateful for the patience and thoughtfulness of the entire team."

"I Our 85 pound English Cream Golden Retriever, Hercules, was rehomed with my wife and I. I have experience with family dogs, obedience training, I would describe myself as competent and confident when it comes to training the family pet. Hercules came to us with a decent foundation; Still, after being with us for six months, he was pulling on walks, did not have adequate recall, and just didn't achieve the level of obedience we wanted. After only a handful of sessions with Alpha Ark's training, everything improved. Not only did Greg teach Hercules what we wanted him to learn, he simultaneously showed my wife and I how to continue to teach him. Literally after two sessions with Alpha Ark Hercules showed big improvement - then with my wife and I continuing that momentum, with some check-ins with Greg, we got Hercules to exactly where we wanted him. We have observed the more freedom we can give Hercules, the more fulfilled he is. He gets that freedom through gaining our trust with his obedience, and we could not have gotten there without Greg and Alpha Ark!"

"My experience with the dog trainer was really positive! They had a calm and confident approach that both my dog and I responded well to. We worked on some basic obedience commands, and the trainer showed me how to use positive reinforcement effectively. I saw a noticeable improvement in my dog's behavior after just a few sessions, and I felt much more equipped to continue the training at home. I would 100% recommend to everyone ."

"Before bringing our incredibly strong-willed Frenchie to Greg, we feared we might have to rehome Pebbles due to her behavior. Pebbles had become aggressive toward people and other animals, constantly barked, ignored commands, and continuously jumped on furniture to steal food. I was anxious about leaving her, but Greg sent daily videos of her progress, and I could hardly believe this was my dog. After just two weeks, Pebbles came home completely transformed and in the best way possible. Greg also made sure I understood how to reinforce her training so her progress would continue at home. He gave us our sweet girl back and the confidence to keep building on what she learned. I cannot express my gratitude and recommend Greg & Alpha Ark highly enough!"

"I was told about Greg, Alpha Ark Dog Training, and was instantly interested in his services as I have a Golden Retriever, Ozzy, who desperately needed behavioral training. Ozzy had become anxious/scared towards other dogs and pulled heavily on the leash. It was very hard for me to control him on walks. Ozzy went with Greg and his staff for 3 weeks and came back a changed dog! Of course, a lot of the training included me being educated and consistent with Ozzy as well. I can finally take Ozzy on walks and out in the public with ease now. Greg’s training was a total success and I’m so thankful for him and his staff for helping Ozzy have a better quality of life. Totally worth the money!"
