About Alpha K9 center

What they offer

Alpha K-9 Center offers training alongside grooming and boarding. The training page describes obedience work in which owner and dog learn together, covering manners and respect and what the site calls the Alpha role, and says an agility course is folded in "which will make learning much more fun for your pet." It is recommended particularly for new puppy owners.

Behavior work

The site lists the behavior issues it takes on: "Jumping , Food Aggression, Barking, Chewing, leadership dominance issues, dog on dog aggression. shyness, separation anxiety". It states that positive reinforcement is used, that these issues "take time and a lot of repeat", and that work begins with an initial evaluation at their location followed by a discussed plan of action.

The non-profit side

The same organization runs Animal Advocates of Clay County WV, described on the site as a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is "not affiliated with any other local, state, or national organization." Its stated mission covers helping strays find homes, spay and neuter programs, and support for families and senior pets in Clay County. That is advocacy work rather than a training service, but it is a substantial part of what the business does.
