Testimonials

We have a mini Australian shepherd. He was super reactive, started off with just a phone call and I felt the knowledge and connection was there. We did a round of training sessions that started in home. Worked a few sessions there and two out at the park. Tucker has made a massive shift, still has some work to do but that’s part of the process. Rayfield was super professional honest and genuinely cared about us and our dog. We just finished our sessions and will follow back up once we can practice a bit more. But all I can say is wow what an experience. If your on the fence with training I would highly recommend looking into it and giving align k9 the shot. He taught us mannerisms and basic things while also making it fun for both tucker and us.

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.

We have come along way with our 5 month old Black Lab, rethinking what we say and how we do things has been an ordeal but totally makes sense. Thank you for all your help!

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 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.

Training with Align K9 was a really wonderful experience for both us and our dog. My dog is struggling with some anxiety and aggression and we were able to work on effective methods of working well together. Thank you!

Everything! Rayfield is truly a Dog Whisperer. I needed some help with my new puppy who was out of control. He needed a lot of work. I was worried that no one would be able to correct his bad behavior. As soon as I met Rayfield I knew he was going to be able to help me. He is extremely smart and knowledgeable. Not only did turn my puppy into an Angel he also taught me a lot of things. I was responsible for a lot of the bad behavior my puppy was doing. He has a saying that I love and say all the time. “Train Them, Don’t Blame Them” I highly recommend him.

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!

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.

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.
