Testimonials

Ray with AlignK9 has helped tremendously with our rescue pup who suffers from PTSD (burn injury). Ray not only guided our dog, but also taught us ways to improve human behaviors that we didn’t realize could be attributing to our dog’s reaction. We’ve been working with Ray for 8 visits now and have seen a vast improvement in our dog’s confidence and behavior. We recommend AlignK9!!

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.

I recommend Alpha Dog Academy almost daily to people who need assistance with their pets. Rayfield is a life saver … literally! When the public comes to me, they’re often at their wits end and ready to relinquish their dog to a shelter. After I calm them down and tell them that Rayfield is on his way, the real magic happens. He’s been able to put peace back into homes and keep families together. That is critical in our line of work. Rayfield jumps at the chance to help any animal, even if he’s not going to be compensated. He’s constantly helping animals in need. You can call him day or night and he’s there to help! His primary concern is to have a happy pet in a happy home. I’m thrilled Rayfield is out there in the trenches helping animals in our community and beyond. We (and they) need him!

We adopted a dog with a traumatic background. Ray has been working with us and Boon for several months now. She has learned so much, how to trust, follow commands, walk on a leash and more recently socialization and service dog training. We are extremely happy with Align K9.

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.

Rayfield was a pleasure to work with. Friendly, effective and professional. His love for dogs was evident at our first meeting. He is very knowledgeable. I was skeptical and thought online training was sufficient. I was wrong. Having Rayfield here in our home with our puppy Rae was a great decision. We highly recommend him.

Rayfield is incredibly personable and understanding. He listened to our concerns and really worked with us to reinforce what our dogs were learning during training. We saw a noticeable difference in our dogs’ behavior after just one session. Strongly recommend! Rayfield’s knowledge, skills & positive training style is so very effective & he creates a wonderful learning environment. Loved the sessions! I have a new understanding about my dogs and myself.

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!

Amazing trainer with such compassion and knowledge, We are truly thankful to have had him help many of our dogs!!!

Watching Ray work with dogs is amazing. He “gets” them. I’ve worked with other dog trainers in the past and even though many have been good I have never experienced the connection Ray has with dogs. I definitely recommend him for anyone seeking a dog trainer in the Cape Coral area.
