About Alpha Family Dog Training

Alpha Family Dog Training is a dog trainer working in Knoxville, Tennessee and, in their own words, "Knoxville, TN And Surrounding Areas". It carries a 5-star Google rating from 21 reviews.

How the training runs

This is an in-home, owner-coaching operation, and the site is explicit about why: "Unlike other trainers, I will meet you at your home when it is time for your dog or puppy to begin training. I do this as it gives me an understanding of the environment that you and your dog live in, and I can evaluate all the factors involved with their behavior." Sessions are stated to last about ninety minutes in most cases, and training elsewhere is described as possible depending on the behavior problem. The site says training is available seven days a week.

What they say about method

The stated aim is to teach the owner rather than only the dog: "You will gain a true understanding of your dog and why they do the things that they instinctively do." They write that the approach is not adults-only, that "even children can apply certain techniques", and that households with multiple dogs can be taught one consistent approach so "all dogs in the house will respond to your leadership". The About page states twenty years of experience.

Practicalities

The site says to contact them for details and pricing, and describes its pricing as less expensive than competing trainers and training centers. Ask about credentials.
