Pet Boarding Training in Phoenix

“Rowdy was out of control when walking and passing another dog and he was getting aggressive. I tried private training sessions and group sessions (for 4 months) and nothing worked. After one session of engagement classes he is well on his way to be a well trained dog that I can walk without chaos and aggression. I will be returning for another engagement class next month.

Wes spent a lot of individual time with Rowdy and they were so supportive and encouraging. They gave me the confidence I needed to handle Rowdy. And most important, I’m not hearing my friends and family telling me to take Rowdy back to the Humane Society.“

“I highly recommend Elisa with Fit Dog Training. She is very knowledgeable and comes to you to assist you in training your dog. I like this because she is able to assess your dog and meet your needs in the dogs own environment. Lucy (my dog)loved the training! Now it’s up to me to follow through with repetition..Elisa is straight forward and gives you hands on assist, video assist and her availability to answer questions. Definitely give her a call if you are considering dog training! Also reasonably priced if you look at various programs. Totally worth your investment! Lucy is the star of neighborhood dog walking crew because she is so well behaved after using the techniques we learned through this training program! ?“

“Cathy is great and really knows her stuff. She gave us a solid foundation to build from. Can't recommend enough!“

“Phenomenal staff…everyone is so unbelievably kind and loving. We typically see Dr. Schneider and she goes above and beyond to care for my dog, as if he was her own. All other vets and vet techs I’ve interacted with have been empathetic, friendly and caring. I am so grateful that this office is just down the road from me but would continue to travel to this location if I ever moved. Would recommend to anyone in the valley needing a new vet.“

“Yoni, Jenna, and John are amazing. We started with private and group training for our 4-month-old puppy. After a good foundation, we sent him to boarding/training for 3 weeks and WOW the progress has been AMAZING. He is calmer and can be with my two young boys without running around stealing socks, toys, and snacks. He loves his 'place mat' which we can move around the house. Our walks improve every day.

The weekend group training sessions (included with the bootcamp, which is a HUGE bonus) help both me and Kody stay on track while making progress as he continues to grow as a puppy. Thank you so much for caring for our dog while we traveled and setting us up for success! Time to keep it up with group sessions and access to the entire online training! Thanks so much, Yoni and team!!!!“

“Mariano is a wonderful trainer and teacher. He has helped me so much with my leash reactive Great Dane. Every session I walk away with more knowledge and the ability to deepen my relationship with my dog. He really focuses on the physiology and how dogs think vs just mindless commands.“

“We go there monthly for my sheepadoodle. He loves going there for the day. The staff is very lovely.“

“I'm so glad I discovered this place. I've used them twice so far this summer and will definitely be a repeat customer. They are very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and it's interesting to get some tips. It's eye opening to hear their observations during my dog's care. It's also fun to get the picture and video updates on the app. This location is also very convenient if you're traveling out of Sky Harbor. There's a parking lot around the corner within walking distance of the Sky Train, it's a one stop shop! So happy with the care my dog has when I'm away.“

“The staff at Dogtopia is truly amazing--each one of the people who work there truly care about my dog, and he loves them and feels so comfortable there, which is saying a lot because he's a shy rescue with separation anxiety. I'm thankful for this Dogtopia and everyone who makes it a wonderful place for pets!“

“Went there once and loved it! Girls seemed happy and love the setup. Small place so have to book early especially during holidays. Will come again.“

“We love this location! We came into town or a weekend and needed a place for our dog, Paloma, and the reviews here swayed us. The staff is extremely friendly and they know exactly what they're doing. They love and care for all of the dogs staying there as if they're their own. The staff is extremely attentive and they make sure the facility is safe and clean. Next time Paloma makes the trip to phx, she'll be staying here!“

“Wow. Impressed with Dianne from the moment she sat down to evaluate my dog and me. She is knowledgeable, professional, and really good at what she does! I felt heard and her expertise shines. I recommend her without hesitation.“

“We were visiting the Phoenix area and needed a sitter for our little Morkie while we attended a concert. We stumbled on Jimmie and Ben while searching for a reputable sitter. After reading the reviews we knew we found the best place for our baby. Jimmie and Ben were amazing! They sent me lots of sweet texts, videos, and pictures. My baby Crosby was so happy and they loved on him like he was their own. We loved them so much that we boarded him for a second night. We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about Crosby’s well being.“

“Sara is honestly the best thing to help train me. Yes me, not my dog. I have worked with other trainers to try to get some help for my anxious fearful dog and they were not the right fit. Sara has helped me understand penny more so I can give her what she needs to be more confident in situations and not treat her fear. I was able to introduce a kitten I found on the side of the road to my home with a dog who has a high prey drive and they get along so well. Sara is knowledgeable, kind, fairly priced for what you get and will truly listen and give you her time to help you do better for your pets. Cats as well as dogs. Highly recommend Smiles Dog Training!“

“Trust is the #1 thing I look for when using walkers, day care, or boarding. Michelle is running a fantastic business. She is responsive and accommodating. We were coming from out of town and she was flexible so easy with drop off/pick up times.She sent updates, provides treats/toys and has created a lovely indoor/outdoor home environment where you can rest assured your dog is safe and loved on.I would 100% trust/recommend her for all your dog boarding needs.“

“Wonderful place with caring loving people. I feel joy knowing my little girl will be happy there with doggie friends. And when I have to travel she will be boarded in here with people she knows and loves.“

“Rachel is the sweetest person! My family and I had to travel out of state urgently for a family emergency and Rachel took great care of our three dogs while we were out of town for about a week. She sent journal entries with updates, pictures and videos! Keeping us up to date on our fur babies left at home. Very trustworthy, reasonable prices, thorough communication, and provides peace of mind. Highly recommend!!! ?“

“Very Professional, the go to for your needs!!! Don't think twice about using this company.“

“We've had several dogs in the past, and various trainers. Nothing ever worked very well, and our dogs were always treat-demanding, poorly behaved, barking in the house, and difficult to walk due to leash-pulling/jumping/barking at other dogs. We had the same problem with our new dog Ollie, our beautiful standard red poodle. After failing several other trainers and various classes, we were referred to Jimi Livshitz of Your Dog Guru. After Jimi trained Ollie at his training facility, he brought Ollie back to us, then Jimi came to our house daily for a number of weeks to train us to be able to not only use all the commands, but to also teach us how to protect Ollie from danger, particularly from poorly controlled dogs. The results of his training are nothing short of a miracle! We are extremely happy! Compared to our pre-Jimi-trained anxious dog who incessantly barked, jumped on guests, ran all over the house, pulled on the leash and so forth (creating lots of misery for us), our post-training Ollie is a happy, loving, self-controlled, obedient dog! Amazingly, all the anxiety and nuisance behaviors are gone! He follows all commands happily, is under control and not distracted, walks off-leash next to our left leg, and plays and lounges with us in the front yard without need for a leash. He follows multiple commands without any problems including properly entering and exiting doors to and from the outside, heel, come, go to kennel, go to cot, place, sit, down, get up on the mailbox or wall, and get in and out of the pool. Ollie is now very happy, loves to play with us, runs on the treadmill unaided for 20 minutes twice a day for additional exercise (which he loves to do and looks forward to) and he does all this readily and without hesitation or needing to repeat commands. The word NO is never required or used now. All he wants is love and praise, and no treats are ever needed. We couldn't be happier. Jimi's training has facilitated an obedient, happy, healthy, and loving partnership for Ollie and us, literally transforming our lives. We feel sorry for all the poorly trained anxious dogs and owners out there. Jimi is a very strong advocate for dogs, and he will not allow punishment, leash neck-yanking, or choke chains to be used. Jimi gets our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation!“

“Absolutely the best vet clinic in Phoenix. My dog is an adopted stray and doesn't trust anyone but me and my husband. Blue Cross Vet knows exactly what to do. When we walk in they take her right away and have a beautiful way of changing her focus. They have wonderful doctors and staff.“

“Only had one session with him and there was a hiccup with customer service and overall payment communication. I wasn’t aware of what payment method he took and it caused a chain of issues. Otherwise he seems to be a great trainer. My dog just wouldn’t benefit from his help. I could see him being useful for super destructive pets and very rowdy animals that are not listening to you. Just be sure to have cash or a check.“

“Absolutely amazing and beyond our expectations! Not only was this our first drop-in daycare experience with our 4 year old Akita, but we are visiting Phoenix from out of state. The staff made us feel so at ease during our initial meet and greet, and were genuinely engaged and attentive to our needs and concerns. We dropped Kuma off the following day and he was greeted by the same familiar handler from his meet and greet. Kuma has to be kept separate from other dogs, so the supervision and one-on-one interaction definitely put him at ease. We intend to take him back in a couple days for a final daycare experience before we head home. Our only regret is that we do not have a comparable quality service near our home. We highly recommend this company to locals and out of town visitors.“

“I brought my two dogs to Gina’s place and they love it. The dogs are in their natural environment and get to run around, play all day. but when it is hot, she brings them inside to an air conditioned room cool down. Unlike other kennels where you have to pay extra to have some activity, they get hours of fun out in the backyard. Gina observes your dogs and updates you daily on their activity. You can relax knowing your pets are safe and comfortable. Dont expect a cookie cutter kennel where evrything is organized and such, dogs dont care for those. I will definitely bring my dogs back here when Im in the Phoenix area.“

“The Staff is very friendly. It is competitively priced. They genuinely know and care for the dogs. My dog loves going in every morning and is always sad to leave.“

“All Team K9 is truly AMAZING!!! Anton has done an A+ job with me AND my Pitbull Zoey!!! Anton is very passionate as well as compassionate with my dog!! He’s had to train me as well as my dog and we’re both doing great!!! Zoey is a different dog in such a good way THANKS TO ALL TEAM K9 and Anton Zoeys trainer!!! ???“
