Our Private Dog Training Services

Alpha Paws offers results-focused training built on natural, non-food-based methods. We work with your dog at home or on location in real-life environments to correct unwanted behaviour, build obedience, and strengthen your bond.

Our structured programs help address leash pulling, crate anxiety, and excessive barking; build off-leash trust and reliable recall; support puppy potty training and socialization; and correct behavioural problems, including reactivity and aggression.

We support dog owners through guided sessions that teach you how to communicate confidently with your dog. All programs are delivered by a qualified behavioural dog trainer with over 20 years of experience.
