If Your Dog Is Not Coming To You, They Should Be Coming To Us.
My dog is more than 5 years old, can I still train him?
ANY dog at ANY age can learn. We specialize in Behavioral Rehabilitation and Obedience for ALL breeds at ANY age.
How much time will I have to spend working with my dog between sessions?
We recommend that you spend at least 30 minutes a day (15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening). This will guarantee a quick response from your dog. Training a dog should take weeks, not months!!
How far in advance should I schedule an appointment?
For our GROUP puppy classes we advise you to call and get your name on the list as classes fill on a “first come, first serve” basis. Or you are welcome to call and set up a FREE evaluation at our facility for private one-on-one training.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, we do. We are open 6 days a week by appointment only. Monday through Friday 9-5:30 & Saturday 9-12:00 & Sunday CLOSED .
What is the name of your business?
It is ALERT K-9. It is NOT K-9/ Canine Alert or Alert Canine.
How do I set up an appointment?

Frequently Asked Questions
How old should my dog be before training begins?
You can start training your puppy as young as 8 weeks old or as old as 12 yrs. The younger you start the easier it is on you and your dog.
Do I need to be part of the Training?
We highly recommend that you and your family are part of the lesson. We train both the dog and the owner. The challenge is not the dog, it is usually the human counterpart that handles them on a daily basis needing to learn about timing, reading the dogs body language and how to handle . As our saying goes, "Teach the dog and train the owner".
Can I begin even if my puppy has not yet received all the necessary shots?
Your puppy should have at least 2 sets of shots before you attend any Private classes or Puppy imprinting classes. Group classes with puppies 4 months and older need all their shots including rabies.
