"We consulted with Alex shortly after adopting our rescue dog about some behavioral issues and obstacles we were having with training him ourselves. Alex assured us that he could make a difference with him with his board and train boot camp so we set it all up. We were immediately impressed with him! On the first day we received several videos of progress with explanations of our pup’s behavior and what the goal was. Every day of the two weeks we received video updates of his progress and we were blown away. When Alex brought our dog back it was night and day difference from when we dropped him off! It was such a relief and we are so thankful to be able to have less chaos at home. He brought over a little booklet with notes and a detailed process on how to best continue the training at home for continued success. He was recommended to us by a friend and we would recommend his train and program to anyone that may be having some difficulties with training at home. With a house of little boys, the difference we have seen already has been worth every penny and then some."

"I highly recommend any owner to sign up for the virtual training. My yellow lab has benefitted massively since we began the virtual program with Alex. Alex regularly checks-in with video calls and is available via direct message at any time. After the video calls, he sends a comprehensive training plan including detailed suggestions on what to focus on until the next check in. When we identified an issue, for example: leash biting, we sent him a video and he recorded a clear, tailor-made response with his suggestions using his own dogs. Alex also provides an e-book with the training program, detailing his training philosophy, notes on expectations, the best gear for your pup, and much more. While the remote option places more responsibility with the owner, Alex does an incredible job motivating owners to get the best out of their dogs. Alex will work hard to ensure you and your pup have the best experience possible. 10/10"

"On a day when our trainer failed to show up (yet again!) at a local park for a scheduled session with our 2-year old, dog-aggressive, mini-Schnauzer shelter dog (Sadie), I spotted Alex working with an owner and her dog and was immediately impressed with his training style, demeanor and the responsiveness of the dog to commands! Got his business card that day, spoke with him at length later in the afternoon and we set up a consultation appointment a few days later. Wow...what a difference! Alex was just what we needed to train us and our little girl. He came by the house for the first few appointments and concluded with a lesson plan for us to work on before the next session. We then starting meeting Alex at various locations around town to help Sadie acclimate to different levels of stimulation. She's still a work in progress but with the tools that Alex has given us...along with his unending patience and guidance...we are leaps and bounds ahead of where we started! We now look forward to attending Alex's monthly group classes and will continue to schedule refreshers to help keep us on track. Thanks Alex!!"

"Our dog Willow recently completed Alex’s two week board and train program and we are amazed by the transformation! Before Willow’s training Alex discussed our expectations and explained his techniques. He answered all of our questions, and he explained all complex concepts in clear and easy to understand language. Alex delivered on all promises. He provided daily video updates that showed us her progress and helped us learn from his examples. Alex spent time with us too, coaching and training the humans so that we fully understand the basics and relationship we share with Willow. She is still the same sweet and playful pup, but now she is eager to show us how well she can perform the tasks Alex taught her. He also socialized her with strangers and dogs, so she is not easily distracted while in public or excitable when guests come to the house. This was a worthwhile and smart investment and we will utilize Alex’s training program again if there are pups in our future. Thank you Alex!"

"Ivy League Canine Academy is one of the best investments I’ve made in a long time. Little did I realize, Alex was more so training me as the dog owner, than he was training my dog. Every dog has potential, but it’s on the owner to learn how to handle them. Alex has come out every week for hour long training sessions, and left me with “homework”training for the week, and is always available if I have questions arise. Would highly recommend his services to anybody who wants to make their dog the best pet they’ve ever had."
