Testimonials
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!
Very happy with the progress I’m seeing in all three of our dogs. Learning so much more about their individual personalities than I had seen before. One of our pups went from not being able to attend doggy daycare to now being a welcome client. Ray is laid back, not judgemental and really listens to what you want to achieve with your dogs. He understands every household and every dog is unique and works accordingly. Thank you!
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!

We rescued 2 puppies from an abusive situation. The male was aggressive and lunged and the female barked constantly at anyone outside our family. After being turned down by other trainers due to their aggressiveness and failing an interview at the boarding facility we use for our senior black lab, they recommended Ray at Align K9. In only 5 sessions, these pups are walking properly on leashes, calmly sitting when Ray visits, eating out of his hand, hopping in and out of the car on command, and walking confidently around our pool. These pups were terrified of these things before training. We are amazed that we can confidently walk them by joggers and kids playing and they sit by our sides! There is still more work to be done, but we’re beyond pleased with their progress! Everyone told us we should consider giving them up. Ray gave us hope.
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 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!
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 🤣🤣
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.
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!
