ALPHA DOG ALPHA DOG Events provides exercise programs for dogs in Branford and Madison CT that are convenient for their humans. And what a face!

ALPHA DOG FUN RUNS...the GREATEST SHOW ON 4 LEGS! Alpha Dog Events & Activities is all about DOGS! Our dogs, your dogs, the local community of dogs. Our logo is an ode to Mattingly, our 2nd Pit Bull, and perhaps the greatest dog I've ever encountered. He was the motivation for this business, so why not make him the face as well. Mattingly loves to run and play with other dogs, and has been my personal exercise program since he joined our family in the spring of 2015. For me, that was 53 pounds ago, and dropping! Hiking, ball play, and since 2021, Lure Coursing. Mattingly turns 10 this year and he's slowing down. His little step-sister, Taylor is the face you see in our Lure Coursing pics, and on our Lure Coursing poster. She is nothing like Mattingly personality-wise, but she is the fastest thing I've seen on 4 legs. So much so that we're taking AKC Events like Lure Coursing and F-CAT (I know, means nothing, right?) and rebranding them into exercise programs and competitive events that will help dogs get the exercise they need while providing the convenience that humans require in this busy post-pandemic world. Follow us on social media and consider making your dog a member of the Alpha Dog 's Run Activities & Events Club...or Alpha Dog Club for short. We're a new business in the dog world, but we've been dog people our whole lives. We play with them, nurture them, travel with them, and couldn't think of a life without them. If you feel that way about your dogs, then Alpha Dog might be just what your dog has been looking for. We look forward to meeting your dogs...and you!

Happy National Pit Bull Awareness Day! 🐾
Here at Alpha Dog, pit bulls are family. Our very own Mattingly, a senior pit bull, is the face and inspiration behind this whole thing.
Pitties are goofy, loyal, athletic, and full of LOVE. They also have a TON of energy, which is exactly why they shine on the Fun Run Corral.
Got a pittie? Show us! Drop a photo in the comments. 👇❤️
