Professional Dog Training in Culpeper, VA

Some pet parents feel like they can only dream of a dog who doesn’t jump on guests, pull on the leash, or run away when they’re called. At Alpha Pet Resort, these dreams are reality. We train our four-legged students with proven, positive-based methods. Our team of experts use dog-friendly techniques perfected by years of experience and understanding of canine behavior. Because every dog is different, we develop custom programs based on your dog’s breed and specific goals.

Dog Training FAQs

What vaccinations are required for training?

To keep our guests safe and healthy, we require all dogs to be up to date on their vaccinations for rabies, distemper combo, and Bordetella. The Canine Influenza vaccination is strongly recommended.

How do I book my training evaluation?

Call us at (540) 825-1247 to speak with one of our team members and get your training evaluation booked.

What happens during the training evaluation?

You’ll meet one-on-one with a member of our professional training team to discuss your goals, challenges, and experiences. We’ll explain our processes, tell you about our programs and facility, and help determine the best training approach for your situation. This meeting is also the first step in developing your pet’s customized training program.

What can you teach my dog?

Our trainers specialize in helping your dog become the best family member possible. We do this by training the most important obedience cues, such as sit, stay, come when called, and leave it, among others. We also work on leash skills, social skills, and home manners.

Can you work on a specific goal with my dog?

We’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and challenges, so we may be able to help with a particular challenge. When you come in for your free training evaluation, we’ll discuss how we can help.

What will my dog learn at Alpha Pet Resort?

Our training team specializes in turning your family pet into the best member of the household they can be. Obedience training, home manners, social skills, and behavior modification are part of any of our training programs. We’re happy to work on other or more specific goals you may have, which we can discuss further with you during your training evaluation.

How many days of Stay & Train should I book?

Stay & Train and Play & Train are most beneficial when your dog is able to attend for multiple consecutive days. For this reason, we offer 5-, 10-, and 15-day packages, but you can add or subtract any number of days you like. Ultimately, the more time your pup has with our trainers, the better the results.

Is my dog too old to benefit from training?

No! The “can’t teach an old dog” concept is a myth. Dogs of any age can pick up new skills with the right combination of patience and consistency. While it’s much easier to establish skills and habits in puppies, dogs of any age are capable of being trained.
