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)
and a nearby park in Surprise, AZ, and Now Who's The Boss
(6112 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.
Beginning Group Classes starting:
Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. (All Star Animal Hospital)
Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. (Shepherd of the Hills)
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!
Rally Group Classes starting:

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 beginning group classes with that dog.
