I got a dog for our family three years ago, having no dog experience whatsoever. The best thing I did was to get our new puppy, Chelsea, enrolled in Alex’s Board and Train program. I then participated in weekly obedience lessons and now our pup is admired by everyone who meets her. Alex Brooks and his staff are the “real deal”. You can watch shows on TV or read a bunch of “how to” books, but when you decide you want to understand canine behavior and make your dog a positive partner in your life, contact Alex. His entire focus … Click for More Info.

Last spring we decided to add a second dog to our family. Lucky for us, Alex and Marcy had the perfect little Pit in mind. Pepper has been a wonderful addition to our home. She is well-behaved, but at the same time she is a bundle of laughs. There is not one day that goes by that Pepper doesn’t have us cracking up. Whether it is playing fetch with herself, or doing leaps across the living room, she is always providing entertainment. Alex rescued Pepper and trained her to be the perfect pet. She is extremely well-behaved and does great … Click for More Info.

“Last night we left Zoe home alone on the couch. We came home to a happy excited dog but from when we left she wasnt barking and when we came home she wasnt. I think I might turn on the recorder to my computer today to see what happens during the time between. The only thing was one poop not stomped in just missed the wee wee pad. This morning Zoe is lying in the corner windows in a little nook where the sun is squeezing in between the blinds, this is something I prayed for because my dog never … Click for More Info.

My dog King has been trained and boarded by Alex Brooks Canine Center since he was a small puppy. King had been to another facility for daycare and was deemed too aggressive. I found Alex through that facility, for training. Alex trained King to be a more social dog and a better family member. Since I must board King often I use only Alex Brooks Canine Center. King always does well there and spends his days in daycare enjoying the company of the staff and many other dogs. I know that he is loved and treated well at the center. … Click for More Info.

Dear Marcy & Alex, Thank you so much for all your help with Patrick. We are so appreciative of all your help and dedication to helping us save more island dogs! Katie http://islanddog.org

I have known Alex and Marcy for over 20 years and have used Alex Brooks Canine Center in the past to train and board my dogs, so when I got my new puppy, Alex’s facility was the only place I thought to take him. I have always had 100% confidence in Alex’s training ability and have seen his methods change and evolve as the years have gone by. Having always owned a stubborn breed of dog, Alex has gone above and beyond to get me the results I had been looking for. I have never had a bad experience with … Click for More Info.

It is a good sign when your dog prances into daycare never looking back. I am confident in the care and attention that the staff at Alex Brooks Canine Center gives to my dog. They report to me each day I pick him up how he did with the other dogs. It is nice to know that our dog is getting proper socialization and activity while in their care. They honestly do what is best for each dog. Their dog handlers are experts in their field and from what I can tell in my many visits, love working at Alex … Click for More Info.

I am sure everyone writes in to say this, but even after just one visit to our home from Alex, Seymour is amazing. We plan on working with Alex some more, but already we see ahuge difference with our 4 mth old Welsh Terrier and have been happy to give Alex the credit when people stop us to comment on how nice and behaved our puppy is (and we get stopped alot!) Thanks a million. Seymour, Cathy and Jay Shino

I’ve used Alex Brooks for both training and boarding and they have exceeded my expectations. I brought my problem dog Max to them as he was about to be euthanized for nipping my granddaughter. They taught him; they taught me. Max is like a different dog. The trainer, spent time with him in an evaluation and within minutes I could see improvement. I’m a wolfhound (very laid back, gentle breed) owner and Max is a wolfhound/terrier mix (and a terror) and I don’t think either one of us understood the other. The staff were able to make both of come … Click for More Info.

Dear Alex, You are truly an inspirational role model for all of us. Thank You, Staff and Students  of The Academy of Dog Grooming Arts

Dear Marcy and Staff, Thank you for bringing your dogs to Carthage! The students really enjoyed being able to spend some stress free time with the dogs. Your generosity was greatly appreciated by the student body! Active Minds (The card was singed by 11 individuals)

Alex and Marcy not only opened their facility to our Island Dog rescues, but they also opened their hearts. They voluntarily help give our Island Dogs a new leash on life. They have helped several of our dogs gain confidence and have taught obedience. They have also helped strengthened our foundation by enabling us to work with dogs that may have never found forever homes because of behavioral issues. Alex takes each dog as a special challenge, working individually with our dogs to determine their strengths and weaknesses. He has a gift and a way that allows the dogs to … Click for More Info.
