Group classes (6 week sessions) $100.00 per dog
Private Lessons $75.00/hour
Board & Train starting at $750
Beginning Group Classes are currently taught at Shepherd
of the Hills Church (5524 E. Lafayette Blvd.) in central
Phoenix, AZ, All Star Animal Hospital (16772 W. Bell Road) in
Surprise, AZ, and Now Who's The Boss (6612 W. Grovers) in
Glendale, AZ. Classes are open to all breeds and all ages of
dogs and class size generally ranges from 5 dogs to 15 dogs.
The first class is spent discussing behavior problem solving
techniques (for such problems as housebreaking, chewing,
digging, jumping, barking, etc.) as well as an overview of the
course. During the following weeks, you will learn how to
teach your dog basic on-leash commands such as heel, sit,
stay, down, and come. All ages are welcome, but puppies must
have completed at least two sets of vaccinations and have a
veterinarian's approval if they are not finished with their
puppy series yet. Any dog that has aggression issues must be
discussed with the trainer prior to the first night of class.

Intermediate Obedience/Rally Group Classes are for
dogs and owners that have completed Basic classes (or the
equivalent at another training facility). We will continue to
work on the basic obedience commands while increasing
duration, distance and distraction levels. You will also be
introduced to the AKC sport of Rally Obedience, which is an
"obstacle course of obedience commands" - it's a fun way to
introduce your dog to the world of competitive obedience,
and a great way to sharpen their skills for everyday life!

Private Lessons are available in your home (or a location of
your choosing) for clients in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe,
Glendale, Peoria, and Surprise (please call for availability).
Lessons last approximately one hour and can be tailored to fit
your needs. Private lessons are what we generally
recommend for any aggression issues and for puppies too
young to attend group classes. We strongly recommend
following private lessons up with a few group classes, and if
you have completed at least six private lessons with us, those
group classes are provided at no charge for that particular
dog.
Board & Train is an option that is available in selected
cases only. Please call to discuss your specific situation if you
feel this is the route you would like to take. For this type of
training, your dog would come and live in my house during
training -- once the training is complete, you will be given a
detailed diary of what your dog has learned and be taught how
to continue training him/her. This type of training will ONLY
work if you continue the training on your own exactly as you
are instructed to do. Dogs are intelligent creatures that
tend to learn very quickly what they can get away with...if you
send your dog away for training, but do not change what you
are doing at home, the dog will almost always fall back into
bad habits when it returns. Starting price for this service is
$750 for two weeks of boarding/training, which will also
include one private lesson when your dog is returned to you,
as well as unlimited group classes with that dog.
