Does your dog:
- Pull on the leash?
- Lunge and bark at other dogs or people?
- Drive you crazy with non-stop barking?
- Jump on your visitors and be a nuisance?
- Not listen to you or come when called?
- Have fear, anxiety, or aggression issues?
We can help!
Our highly effective training methods are the best in the Phoenix Metro area. We work with ALL dogs, all breeds, all ages. We can help you train your dog to calm down and listen to you, come when called, stop excessive barking and jumping on people, lay down and stay put until release, and walk nicely on a leash without pulling, lunging, and barking.
We've helped many puppies and dogs with mild nuisance behaviors as well as those whom other dog trainers have deemed "untrainable", and we can help your dog too!

Barnaby 
Barnaby cowered when anyone tried to pet him, was afraid of his doggy-door and loud noises, and had separation anxiety. He would hear a dog bark or see a person walk in front of the house and go nuts. He lunged and bit a few dogs and even some family members. We went through a few trainers and began to think that nothing could be done. Troy helped Barnaby learn to be off leash and coexist around other dogs and people! Barnaby began sniffing and actually playing with other dogs like a normal, well adjusted dog! He is a calmer, happier dog. Thank you Troy! - Darryl & Betty Oesterle
Hobbit
We started training sessions with Troy for our dog Hobbit and we are so impressed with Troy's knowledge, commitment, insight and techniques! He spends as much time educating us as he does Hobbit and we always leave feeling good about what we've learned and look forward to the next session. Thank you Troy for making this world a better place for dogs and their owners! You are the best! - Jan & John Petrie
Why Training Your Dog is Important
The day you bring a dog into your home, your dog is learning every moment, with or without your guidance. What may appear as cute puppy behaviors now may not be cute later when your pup grows into a dog. Without clear communication, dogs can become anxious and confused about what is expected of them. Without proper mental stimulation they can become bored and destructive. As dogs become more desperate to understand how to live peacefully with you, their behaviors can make you crazy.
Common behavior problems include chewing and destroying furniture or your favorite shoes, getting into the trash, urinating or leaving "deposits" in your home, digging up the yard, stealing food or clothing, running zoomies, jumping, humping, chasing, bolting out the door, whining or barking incessantly, not coming when called, not laying down and being quiet, pulling on the leash, difficulty getting along with dogs or people.
Know that your dog is not trying to give you a hard time, but infact is just having a hard time and needs your help. Our training programs will help your dog learn to listen to you, trust and respect you, and be a well-behaved and trusted member of your family.
