Hi, my name is Zach Stokes and I’m the owner/head trainer of Alpha K9 Connections. Ive always had a passion for dogs ever since I was a little kid remembering back to when I was 6 years old running up and down the fence with our neighbors Rottweiler. I’ve learned over my 17 years of experience training dogs every dog is trainable. We take a balanced approach to communicate with the dogs what we are asking of them to achieve the most success while also building a happy enjoyable relationship. We specialize in everything from family pet obedience, advanced obedience, aggression and fear behavior modification, sport dogs, and police K9s. I have had the privilege of working with our local police departments for the past 4 years teaching both handlers and their K9s. Whether it’s family pets or police K9s serving our community we find it most important to train not just the dog but the handler at the other end of the leash to achieve the most success and lasting obedience. Training dogs isn’t just a job, it’s our passion!
At Alpha K9 Connections, we believe that every dog has the potential to be a well-mannered, obedient companion. Our mission is to provide effective, customized dog training solutions for families in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
We focus on teaching both ends of the leash both dog and handler using a balanced approach, structured training, and clear communication. Our programs are designed to:
Our trainers have years of experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, from puppies to aggressive adult dogs. We offer one-on-one private lessons, board and train programs, and behavior modification plans tailored to your dog’s unique needs.
We proudly serve families in Toledo, Perrysburg, Sylvania, Maumee, Oregon, Holland, Monroe, and more.
