Confidence Through Connection
At Alpine K9, our training methods are built on trust, clarity, and leadership. We focus on developing emotional regulation, impulse control, and nervous system balance through reward-based methods and clear communication. By guiding dogs toward calm confidence and helping handlers lead with clarity, we create relationships rooted in understanding and respect. Our goal is to help every dog find balance, not just in behaviour, but in mindset.
1:1 Training
Our 1:1 Training is a deeply personalized experience, focused on building a lasting relationship with your dog. Through calm leadership, clear communication, and rewards-based guidance, we help your dog develop emotional balance, confidence, and behavioural changes.
This program is perfect for owners who want ongoing support, learning how to guide their dog in everyday life while strengthening trust and connection. A variety of packages available.
Day Train
Day Train is a focused, relationship-centered program designed to create lasting behavioural change. Over four structured days (No Overnight Boarding), we guide your dog to develop calm confidence, impulse control, and reliable manners through rewards-based methods, clear communication, and calm leadership.
Each session strengthens understanding between dog and handler, helping your dog learn how to make thoughtful choices and respond consistently, building skills that endure long after the program ends.
Board & Train
Our Board & Train programs come in three levels: 5-Day, 7-Day, and 14-Day, and are designed to create lasting behavioural change while deepening the bond between you and your dog. Each program combines structured guidance, rewards-based training, and engaging outlets to help your dog develop calm confidence, reliable manners, and emotional balance.
From building foundational skills to mastering advanced behaviours, every day is focused on helping your dog make thoughtful choices and strengthening your partnership.

WHERE
THE FARM PET RETREAT
I chose to work with The Farm Pet Retreat because it’s more than just a facility, it’s a place where dogs can truly feel at home. The space is open, safe, and welcoming, giving every dog the freedom to learn and grow in a calm environment. It’s also a fantastic location, conveniently situated between Hwy 1 and Hwy 2, and close enough to Hwy 3 to give surrounding small communities access to elite dog training. The Farm also offers grooming with Certified Groomer Breanna Millions, and the Owner, Rachelle Dion Savard, has created an incredible environment for both people and dogs, a true dog community. The team here shares my passion for creating positive experiences for pets and their owners, making it the perfect place for my training programs.

Transformation Stories
Very happy with the service we received from Grayson. Our 2.5 year old Beagle started the training as a hyper boy who's nose would often get him into trouble, to a well behaved dog in just a couple days!
Loved all the explanations and taking the time to explain everything to us before taking him home, setting us up to succeed beyond the training.
Highly recommend Grayson to anyone looking to improve their dogs behavior!
Despite the distractions, Grayson's expertise and patience helped us achieve a calm state on leash. His ability to recognize subtle changes in behaviour and guide us toward calmness is impressive and reassuring. I feel like we're in this together, and that's a game-changer. Highly recommend!

Grayson was great with Oz! We did a 4 week program with him and we saw incredible changes in his reactivity and impulse control! We will 100% work with Grayson again
Alysia & OZ
Bentley and I started out with 6 weeks of training with Grayson and won an extra 6 weeks! I love and appreciate Grayson’s positive reinforcement approach and Bentley’s excitement to see Grayson on training days is proof that he buys in to the program too! Bentley has gone from a super reactive little boss, to a much calmer and noticeably less stressed little man. Walks are enjoyable now and we are both much less stressed when we meet other dogs while we’re out and about. Grayson is knowledgeable, patient and a terrific teacher. I’m so grateful that we took the time to do the training and to put in the work between sessions. It’s been life changing for Bentley and for me! THANK YOU Grayson!!
We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Grayson Butler from Alpine K9 Alliance as our in house dog trainer here at The Farm Pet Retreat, and we can’t recommend him highly enough!!
Grayson brings a calm confidence and deep understanding of canine behaviour that puts both pets and owners at ease. His approach is balanced, respectful, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether he’s working with puppies just starting out or older dogs needing some fine-tuning, his results speak for themselves.
What stands out most is Grayson’s passion. He genuinely cares about every dog he trains and is always willing to go the extra mile to help both dogs and their people succeed. His professionalism, consistency, and clear communication have made him a trusted part of our retreat.
We’re grateful to have Grayson as part of our extended team and feel confident sending any of our clients his way. Your dog is in excellent hands with Grayson Butler of Alpine K9 Alliance.
From the moment we began working with Grayson, we saw remarkable improvements in our dogs' behaviour. Our Saint Bernard, who used to be quite stubborn, has become more responsive and well-mannered. Similarly, our lively Pomeranian has learned to channel her energy positively, becoming a joy to be around.
Grayson's calm and composed demeanor has been instrumental in achieving these breakthroughs. His ability to connect with our dogs and understand their unique personalities is truly remarkable. It's as if he has an innate understanding of canine behaviour, allowing him to communicate effectively with them.
Thank you, Grayson, for making such a positive difference in our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking a deeper connection and understanding with their canine companions.
