My husband is a very kind and emotional man.  He is however very Alpha or at least gives that impression.  If we are having a conversation, when he is talking, then finishes, and I either comment or try to say something, he either interrupts, dismisses, or is distracted by something.  This seems very disrespectful to me.  How can I stop him from doing this?

It is disrespectful.  Since he doesnt respect you or your ideas, getting him to change is going to be very hard.  This is something that is usually bred in by watching the other people in his family, such as parents.   The hardest thing will be to get him to acknowledge he is doing it.  Get his attention and say STOP. I said something. Now you respond.  Record him in a conversation if he doesnt believe you (and he wont).

Parroting technique will retrain him to conversate with you if you can get him to do it.  Look up Parroting technigue or get a book about it.

If nothing helps then he either truly believes you have nothing to say worth hearing or he just plain takes your for granted.  Perhaps an exercise in which you do not respond or listen to him and/or interrupt him a lot would help.  He will get very angry at this behavior and he should! and so should you.  But channeling that anger into a positive change is what you want.

After trying everything, maybe getting out and doing other things with people who will listen to you will become your positive outlet and you will have to accept that this is how he CHOOSES to act and you dont have to take it.
