Align K9 - Cape Coral, Florida

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!

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.

Ray is a wealth of knowledge with not only canine but human energy and emotion. I adopted a dog from Lee county animal control who had zero manners and was wild beyond belief. Ray taught me how to work with him to set boundaries. He went above and beyond spending extra time to make sure I felt comfortable and understood not only what we were trying to do but the WHY. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with dog training. Ray says he isn’t a dog whisperer he’s a dog listener which is 110% true. He uses force free training that doesn’t stress the animal and uses positive reinforcement. He is awesome!

Fantastic trainer. Ray truly understands dogs and their owners. He has that so called “6th sense”- made training easy and fun. My dog has no issues with bikes , rolling carts, and strollers due to his guidance in our training sessions and my dog knows how to handle the rare set of stairs in SWFL. Also learned quite a bit about myself and dog interactions which was rather unexpected but very cool. Thank you! So lucky to have Align K9 recommended to me.

We adopted a dog with a traumatic background. Ray has been working with us and Boon for several months now. She has learned so much, how to trust, follow commands, walk on a leash and more recently socialization and service dog training. We are extremely happy with Align K9.

I loved our dog trainer Ray. He answered my call and set up our first meeting right away. Was able to come to our house to meet our puppy and created a training program for us. He also recommended a great harness, dog treat products, dog food, and even great dog treats. After our first 5 sessions we saw great behavioral improvements in our puppy and our relationship with him. Ray offers a holistic approach to dog training which begins with training of the humans. ?

We have a mini Australian shepherd. He was super reactive, started off with just a phone call and I felt the knowledge and connection was there. We did a round of training sessions that started in home. Worked a few sessions there and two out at the park. Tucker has made a massive shift, still has some work to do but that’s part of the process. Rayfield was super professional honest and genuinely cared about us and our dog. We just finished our sessions and will follow back up once we can practice a bit more. But all I can say is wow what an experience. If your on the fence with training I would highly recommend looking into it and giving align k9 the shot. He taught us mannerisms and basic things while also making it fun for both tucker and us.

Ray was our third trainer to help us raise a rambunctious, rescue lab-mix into a well-mannered pet. Our dog is now in her "testing teen" years, but I can see that practice and perseverance will provide a big pay-off. Ray explains the dog's behavior and how the owner can get the desired results. A visit to our Vet this a.m. garnered unsolicited compliments on her training. So this isn't a biased opinion. Hire the best first (Ray) and forget the rest.
