"I am very grateful for the trust and confidence that my clients put in me over the past 17 years, to work with their dog(s) and their family." 

Carrie Ann MonteLeon, Alpha Dog Training 

 

JUNE 8, 2009

Hi Carrie,

 We first met Carrie Monteleon in 1996 when she trained our Dalmatian, Damian.  He had been abused, and bounced around from family to family, before we got him at only 7months of age.   He came to us with a lot of baggage and aggression. Carrie turned Damian around and he was with us 3 months short of his 15th birthday.

His long life is attributed to his happiness that Carrie helped us find and the wonderful food that Carrie recommended we put him on.  About a year and a half of not having a pet we decided it was time. 

 In comes Riley, our German Shorthaired Pointer.  Who else to call but Carrie MonteLeon - and Alpha Dog Training.  We knew that it would not take long for this smart puppy to figure out who was going to be the master of the house.  We picked Riley up on a Saturday and Carrie was at our home the following week training our then 9 week old pup.  She is now going on 6 months old and is just a wonderful well behaved little girl.  She will be getting a brother over the next few weeks.   Without Carrie helping us over the bumps, and learning curves with Riley,  I can't say that we would have decided to get the second pup, but knowing that Carrie will be helping us with Logan makes it all possible.  We cannot possiblly say enough good things about Carrie & Alpha Dog Training,  If you have a puppy or dog in your life, you owe it to them to call Carrie.  Riley loves seeing Carrie and we just know that Logan will love her too.

 Thank you, thank you, thank you, Aunt Carrie for teaching me how to be a good girl for Mommy and Daddy…. Love Riley -

JAMIE CARLIN,  7 YEAR OLD GSD, IN MANALAPAN, NJ
SEPTEMBER, 12, 2009
Hi Carrie,
Jon and I wanted to write a testimonial for your website. We are sooo grateful for all of your help!!! :)

After adopting Jamie, our German Shepherd, from an animal shelter, we knew she had a rough seven years. She had been abused and neglected by her previous owner and came to us with some serious fear aggression issues. After she had lunged at several houseguests and bit our elderly neighbor we felt helpless. We decided to "Google" Dog Trainers and came across Alpha Dog Training owned by Carrie MonteLeon. At first, Jamie would not let Carrie into our home without barking or growling. After only a few sessions, Jamie looked forward to Carrie’s visits and worked hard during her training. Thanks to Carrie, Jamie is learning that it is okay to trust people. In fact, Jamie is now a much healthier dog, both physically and mentally as a result of Carrie’s training. Without a doubt, you will not find another Dog Trainer as warm, compassionate, and genuine as Carrie MonteLeon.

 Hi Carrie,
It's been 2 1/2 years since you came and trained my Oreo
Because of you I have great dog. Oreo is so well behaved 
that he goes over my neighbor's house for play dates.
 I love the fact that I can walk outside, go down the block
 and not have to take Oreo's leash!  When another dog 
walks past us all I have to do is tell Oreo stay down and 
leave it AND HE DOES!! Some other things you
 taught him as not to jump on people or furniture; 
stay away from the door and kitchen; and not to eat food
that falls on the floor. When I think back of how scared 
Tiffany and me were of him, I have to laugh. You had to 
train Oreo to listen to me and teach us not to be afraid... 
AND YOU DID :). Thank you Carrie for turning Oreo into 
the perfect pet.

 Hi Carrie                 April 28, 2008
We decided to let Sig write the testimonial herself, so she says WOOF WOOF BARK BARK RUFF WOOF BARK. In translation we can not thank you enough for all that you have taught and help guide us in teaching our very stubborn bulldog. Sig has learned so much from you and naming just a few as sit, stay, down, leave it and come. The best part of all is how you were able to in just one session teach our puppy to finally walk on a leash. Thanks to you we can actually leave the driveway now and not have our bully just throw herself on the pavement and refuse to walk. We know it requires follow through on our part now, however, your dog whisper ability allows us now to have the power to do so. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
 You ROCK,
Sam, Erin and Sig, Matawan, NJ

 

Hi Carrie,

 I just want to let you how lucky we are that you are training Max.  My parents just left, and as they were leaving Max ran outside without his leash.  He bolted out but I called his name and yelled "DOWN", with my hand signal, and wouldn't you know it....that big Marmaduke dog stopped in his tracks :) and dropped!!! He was so excited to be out.  I know he would have run down the block if you weren't training us!!! So I just want to say thanks for all your hard work!

WOW What a big thumbs up!!!  My Shiba Inu, Leo can be very strong minded and  "Wow!  What a difference she made. A first I thought I would never have the kind of dog that would blend in with our active lives, along came Carrie of Alpha Dog Training. He now listens, and is a total joy to be around. He comes on our vacations and is invited over our friends homes. Yes, as she she says "you will see a huge difference after just one session" is so true. She made such a wonderful difference in our life."

 SCARLET DIGLIO, SEPTEMBER, 2009

September 7, 2009
After an extensive internet search by my daughter to find a trainer for our dog, Scarlet, she ran into my room and said “I found the one” ! She was of course referring to Carrie MonteLeon of Alpha Dog Training. Carrie MonteLeon came to our house, worked with us and Scarlet and today we couldn’t
be happier with the positive change in Scarlet’s behavior. Scarlet was a tough nut to crack, but Carrie was persistent and patient at the same time with her (and us). I would without hesitation recommend Carrie of Alpha Dog Training to anyone looking for a Dog Trainer. She really cares about the dogs and people she works with. She was always prompt for appointments, personable and yet professional at the same time. We can’t thank Carrie enough for helping us out.

HUNTER THE GREAT DANE'S STORY,
from Sue Fick of Bradley Beach, NJ
Long John Hunter's story  May, 2008.
 
 
Thanks to Carrie MonteLeon of Alpha Dog Training,  Hunter brings joy to countless people and has received the "Therapy Dog Terrific Award".    I desperately called Carrie while I was fostering this Great Dane and I couldn't believe my eyes that he was at least 40 lbs under weight, and didn't come out of the Submissive Position for about two weeks.  My goal was to keep him as a replacement for my last dog "Elwood"  who was a Certified "Therapy Dog". He was petrified of everything, and anyone, and going near a man was out of the question.

 I took him for a walk and he almost dragged  me into the middle of traffic when a train came. At the same time, if you reached for his collar to slow him down he turned dominant and had an attitude.  After meeting him, she temperament-tested and evaluated him and saw him for the sweet dog that he was. Turns out, he was trained by one of those guys where you leave the dog there for a month and they put a shock collar on the dog and train it through fear.   Carrie spent countless hours on the phone with me convincing me to keep him. Long story short ---He passed his very strict test with flying colors and now works at Jersey Shore Medical Center and Hospice Centers. 

 

"Carrie MonteLeon of Alpha Dog Training trained my American Bulldog Sonny a little over a year ago ,thankfully to this day he listens to all his commands, and is truly a pleasure to own... Good training is so important to your family and to the public in general.  An obedient dog is a good dog , and Carrie can get the job done for sure. Oh and it helps to have a smart dog too ..lol"

Frank Arcello owner of Sonny, an American Bulldog, in Manalapan, NJ

 

 "Over the past 8 years I have worked with a bunch of trainers for my pack of 5. Then I came across Alpha Dog Training. Alpha Dog -Carrie offers a comprehensive training program tailored to each dogs needs. Most importantly, Carrie really cares for all her 4 legged clients and posesses the ability to deal with dogs that have behaviors that are hard to break. She has the patience of a Saint, and is flexible to work with owners that have tough schedules."

  "Carrie of Alpha Dog Training came to us after Dylan, our English Mastiff, was a year old and started to show signs of dominance. Dylan is now over 200 lbs., loveable and easily controlled by a one word command. Because of Carrie and Alpha Dog Training, I have total control of Dylan. "Animals respect Carrie because she respects them and trains with love."

Laura Ries in Mananlapan, NJ

 

"I contacted Carrie MonteLeon from Alpha Dog Training concerning my 9 month old dog "Baily" whom was becoming aggressive and dominant toward my children. Carrie immediately came to my home and tailored a plan that specifically targeted our concerns and issues. Her training technique is very effective. It is a combination of intense training and lots of love. After just a few sessions we immediately noticed a BIG difference in our dog's behavior. We are now rapidly gaining control of our dog and are finally having the dog that we dreamed of...a well trained, loving pet. Thanks for all your help!"

 "It has been 15 years since I had my last puppy and I was apprehensive to get another one. After choosing a Saint Bernard, I was nervous that wouldn't be able to control him when he got bigger. Carrie has given me the skills to have a well behaved and obedient dog. She has even aken the time to teach my children how to properly handle Baxter. She s so caring that she calls and follows up on how our dog is doing when he's not here. I would recommend her services to anyone."
