Private Instruction
Private lessons are completely personalized to fit your individual training needs. We will work with your schedule to plan training when it's convenient for you. Sessions may be conducted in your home or in an alternate predetermined location depending on need. A wide range of behavioral issues, obedience commands, house manners, water safety, puppy issues, breed choice concerns, etc. may be addressed.
Private lessons are available throughout Maricopa County and in some cases outside the valley. Prices will vary depending on location. References available on request.

Basic I - Beginning Level Obedience
Around three months of age canines transition into their Juvenile Stage, or Adolescent Stage. During this period of development it is common for pups to test and defy their owners. It is also common to see an increase in energy levels and destruction potential. Focus on pack structure, getting and keeping your dog's attention, building trust and identifying what motivates your dog are all crucial parts of training during the Juvenile Stage. The skills covered in basic obedience will help you better communicate with your dog, understand his drives and set the ground work for a strong foundation of future training.
