GET TO KNOW ALIGN K9

Our goal at Align K9 Training is to build a balanced relationship between dog and dog owner that will last a lifetime. The relationships we build are based on respect, leadership, clear communication, and affection. We know that just like humans, every dog has a different temperament and set of unique needs. That is why we specialize in creating custom, individualized training plans. Not only do we develop well trained, balanced dogs, we empower and educate dog owners every step of the way. After working with Align K9, you will leave feeling confident and bonded to your dog.

MEET THE TRAINERS

Alyxandra McKenna is a certified trainer through Paramount Dog Training, Associate Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) and founder of Align K9 Training.

 

Alyx has always had a natural ability to understand dog behavior and believes helping restore alignment to dogs and owners is her life’s purpose. She started fostering seven years ago to help overflowing local rescues and quickly learned how important basic obedience is to canines. Even the happiest-go-lucky dogs were benefiting from routine and simple training sessions. And of course, dogs that were very unbalanced, quickly found balance through obedience work. She also noticed that most people did not seek out professional training until their dog was out of alignment or balance.

 

Alyx's mission is to bring light to this: start training from day 1 to establish a solid relationship and prevent future problems, rather than waiting until a problem arises. Training isn’t just for “problem” dogs. Dogs out of alignment need training, but every dog deserves it!

She has had the privilege of working with all kinds of breeds, ages and temperaments through fostering and working as a dog walker with a Cleveland-area company. She decided to further her education for dog behavior by completing Paramount’s dog trainer certification course in May 2020. She loves being able to help people better understand their dog and create an amazing bond that will last a lifetime! 

Meet the Trainer

"Alyxandra is truly great at what she does. Not only is she responsive and professional, but she truly cares about your dogs. She’s great at training the dogs but was also great at providing me and my husband with the information we needed to train our dogs on our own. She’s a great trainer and knows her stuff. Highly recommended."   - Jessica Napka
