Testimonials

I was at a loss with my cockapoo Carly. After 3 sessions with Rayland, she is now a well behaved dog, gets along with other dogs in a social setting, she can now be groomed, goes to day care. It’s night and day. Thank you Rayland. She is doing GREAT!

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!

We had Ray train our rescue puppy, Georgia. His knowledge and approach FAR exceeded our expectations! He helped us not only train Georgia from a behavior standpoint but also recommended healthy food, treats, toys and the best leash and collar to use. We loved he would come to the house to work with Georgia in her environment. Highly Recommend, Ray!!

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.

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.

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 was our third trainer to help us raise a rambunctious, rescue lab-mix into a well-mannered pet. Our dog is now in her “testing teen” years, but I can see that practice and perseverance will provide a big pay-off. Ray explains the dog’s behavior and how the owner can get the desired results. A visit to our Vet this a.m. garnered unsolicited compliments on her training. So this isn’t a biased opinion. Hire the best first (Ray) and forget the rest.

Rayfield works very diligently with dogs, and uses his keen doggy sense to actually fix the underlining issues, not just mask them. Excellent advice is given by the bundle. He is a true dog lover and does his best to improve the dog-dog relationship and human-dog relationship. He works around your schedule, always answers questions and provides great insight into what works best. He is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend Rayfield.

Fantastic trainer. Ray truly understands dogs and their owners. He has that so called “6th sense”- made training easy and fun. My dog has no issues with bikes , rolling carts, and strollers due to his guidance in our training sessions and my dog knows how to handle the rare set of stairs in SWFL. Also learned quite a bit about myself and dog interactions which was rather unexpected but very cool. Thank you! So lucky to have Align K9 recommended to me.

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!
