Founded in 2019, Alpha Obedience Dog Training provides effective, relationship-based dog training that helps owners across Katy, Fulshear, Houston, Cypress, and Richmond build calm, well-mannered, and confident dogs through leadership and clear communication.
Training programs and starting investment
Most trainers will not put a number on their website. I will.
You should be able to tell before you pick up the phone whether this is in range. Below is where each program starts. Where you land depends on your dog, and that is what the evaluation is for.
Every program $3,000 and over includes a remote collar — fitted, conditioned at your dog’s pace, and yours to keep.
Board & Train
Your dog lives and trains with me. I take two to three dogs at a time.
Jump Start · 2 weeks
A reset, not a finished dog. Crate, house rules and leash manners started. Credits in full toward a longer program within 90 days.
$2,200
Foundation · 4 weeks
A dog you can live with. Recall, loose-leash walking, settling, door manners, off the counter. Transfer sessions until you are confident. Remote collar included.
$3,800
Complete · 6 weeks
Everything in Foundation plus a much wider set of commands, held longer and proofed around real distractions. Remote collar included.
$5,200
Behavior & Aggression
Reactivity, fear, anxiety, resource guarding, aggression. Four weeks minimum, six for most cases. Evaluation required before booking. Remote collar included.
from $4,500
Private In-Home
I come to you and teach you and your dog together. Every class runs a full 90 minutes. Travel is included — no mileage, no tolls, nothing added to your invoice — within 15 miles of Katy. Further out, board and train or virtual coaching is the better fit.
Foundation In-Home
Focused on one thing and done properly. Either obedience and commands, or the behavior issue that is driving you mad. We decide which at your evaluation. Long line included.
$950
Complete In-Home
A much wider set of commands, plus room to work on behavior alongside them. Pick this one if you want both a dog that listens and a problem solved. Long line included.
$1,800
Behavior In-Home
Reactivity, fear, anxiety and resource guarding, worked in the environment where they actually happen. Evaluation required.
$2,400
Off-Leash
Its own program, and it comes after the foundational skills are in place.
Off-Leash · In-Home
Six classes at your home and in the real places you want to use it. Your dog needs the foundations solid before we start.
$1,200
Off-Leash · Board & Train
Two weeks with me, for dogs that already have their foundations in place. Faster, and proofed in more environments than we can reach in weekly classes. Remote collar included.
$3,000
Puppy
For puppies 10 to 25 weeks. Two formats. Your puppy comes to stay with me, or I come to you.
Puppy Head Start · Board & Train
Two weeks living with me. Potty training, crate training, bite inhibition, socialisation and first commands during the window that matters most.
$2,000
Puppy Head Start · In-Home
I come to your house and we build the foundations together, so your puppy learns the rules in the home they actually live in and you learn to handle them from day one. Classes run 90 minutes.
$1,400
Puppy Head Start Extended · 4 weeks board & train
Everything above plus real obedience foundations and confidence work, over four weeks with me. Remote collar included.
$3,600
Virtual & Group
Anywhere, or in Katy alongside other dogs.
Single Virtual Session
60 minutes live, plus a written plan afterward. Credited toward any program if you go ahead.
$125
Virtual Coaching Program
Six live sessions with video feedback between. No geography limit.
$650
Group Classes
Real-world distractions, working toward AKC certifications. For dogs without major behavior issues. No evaluation needed.
from $200
Longer programs — eight-week board and train, and intensive behavior work for bite cases — are available and quoted at your evaluation.
How it works
1. Free phone consultation. A no-cost call to talk through what is going on with your dog and what you want to change. No pressure, no commitment.
2. Evaluation — $85. Ninety minutes with you and your dog in person, so I can see what is really happening. Credited toward whichever program you choose.
3. Your plan and your price. From that evaluation I build a plan for your dog specifically — and that is when you get a real number, not a guess.
Group Classes are the exception. They need the free call but no evaluation, so you can enroll straight from it. They are for dogs without major behavior issues — if reactivity or aggression are part of your picture, I will tell you that on the phone.
Payment plans
Most programs are half up front and half at completion. I also accept Afterpay, Klarna and All Pet Card financing if you would rather spread the cost. Ask at your consultation and we will find something that works.
Included in every program
- A plan built for your dog, not a template
- Handler training, so the results stay after I am gone
- One free refresher class every quarter, for life
- Lifetime support — call, text or send me a video anytime
The first call is free and takes about fifteen minutes.
