Testimonials

Amazing trainer with the amazing ability to understand and redirect your dog. He teaches you about your energy and your dogs energy … highly recommended, he is very knowledgeable.

Rayfield is a very special dog trainer- most intuitive and knowledgeable in an area taken for granted these days. He has been instrumental in helping us find dogs homes, and most of all, KEEPING dogs in their homes. We are very grateful to his support of us, and the many dogs whose futures would be very different without his intervention. I am proud to recommend and endorse Alpha Dog Academy.

Thank you, Rayfield and Alpha Dog Academy, for the informative behavior phone consultation today. I can’t believe how my dogs responded to your simple, yet effective suggestions. I look forward to learning more, now that I have booked an in-home training session. I can’t wait for you to meet my dogs!

Rayfield is a trainer unlike any other. He genuinely CARES about you and your dog with obvious passion and understanding. His training methods are enriching, bringing you understanding of your dog to a whole new level. His generosity with time, knowledge and good spirit showed me he’s got the heart of a canine!

Ray is an awesome dog trainer, and I highly recommend his services for any age canine companion! He worked with our very active 7 month old puppy and asked me to write specific notes/vocabulary, then he had my son practice his training strategies. Ray is super positive, extremely skilled, and his genuine love for dogs is evident. We are very grateful for our session with Ray!

OMG what an awesome amazing training session! Wasn’t really sure what to expect and someone even told me that I would be probably wasting my money cause I have a new rescue who is timid and scared but he spent time talking, explaining and sitting on the floor with us and Romeo and it will be work and time but we saw a positive forward already and it really has made us so happy to learn and know how to make a huge impact in our Romeo’s life ❤ Would recommend him 100%! He knows dogs and he has patience with humans 🤣🤣

Rayfield’s positive techniques and advice have been sanity saving for our family. Most importantly, they work. He has trained us as much as the dog. After being kicked out of puppy class, I didn’t have much hope for our rescue dog Jackson. Rayfield was recommended to us and in one lesson had him walking with another dog. When our family situation changed and the dog was not adjusting well, he came right over to help us. He is very accessible via phone, text, etc and answers any questions you have. His positive attitude and interactions with dogs has made working with him a wonderful experience.

Ray really knows his stuff! In just 3 sessions so far, my rescue dog Willow’s behavior has improved drastically. She went from aggressively barking at him/ready to attack to being calm around him, taking treats out of his hand, and taking his commands. Willow still has ways to go, but Ray has given me a lot of hope. With proper training, the right tools, working at it every day, and a LOT of patience, it’s possible for any dog to completely transform. Thanks so much, Ray! I would definitely recommend Align K9 for your pup’s needs!

I have a very anxious Dachshund and I needed help. Ray is my third attempt at professional training and he was the first that Morty responded to with comfort and wagging tails. I tried to “bust his bark” with another company and it only made Morty terrified of trainers. Morty was so calm and comfortable that he fell asleep halfway through Ray’s first visit! If you want to feel calm and connected to your dog without having to change everything you do, I highly recommend Align K9. It is a fraction of the cost of the much harsher training options in the area, and it is truly priceless to be taught how to align you and your pup for a happy life. I learned more in 90 minutes than I have in 3 years with my pup, and look forward to continuing with Ray and to see Morty progress into the happy confident dog I know I can help him become.

Ray is the best dog trainer I’ve ever met and I’ve met a few being that I always had lots of dogs. His of handling the dogs and the owners is very professional and shows his long term experience even with very difficult cases. He educates you and won’t create a dependency relationship which I have seen with other trainers. He’s your best bet in swfl… hands down!
