How we can help with LEASH TRAINING
When we are dealing with behavioral or potentially reactive issues we like to see your pup first hand to understand what’s occurring.
In order to do that, we start with a Lesson/Assessment.
This allows us to:
- Meet you and your pup
- See the behaviors you’re wanting to work on first hand
- Introduce you to the school, trainers, and our methods
- Decide the best path forward (usually from one of the programs below)
Step 1
Assessment + Check-in
- At the beginning of Training Camp, we do an introductory lesson.
- This gives you an opportunity to meet us and see how we train.
- This also gives us an opportunity to meet you and your pup in order to see if we are the best fit for you.
- During this stage, we obtain all vaccination records as well as further details into your dog’s background.
- Lastly, we assess your goals in order to keep training consistent and effective across the board.
Step 2
Training + Demos
- Next, your dog will start their training.
- In Training Camp, your pup will have an hour of training each day with a pro trainer.
- In between training sessions, your dog will be crated on the Training Floor. This practices a behavior called “modeling” which is when the training happening around them actually rubs off on the dog watching.
- Or your dog can go into All Day Play, where they can socialize, play, and practice proper manners whenever they aren’t being trained.
- During the training period, we would like to see you once a week for a 30 min-1hr. demonstration session. During this time, your trainer will go over what has been happening, what we have had success with, and where we are having difficulties.
Step 3
Transition
- The last step is to transition the training we have instilled over to you.
- This is probably the most critical step as it involves teaching you to maintain the behaviors we have established at the school.
- Over a private lesson and 4 Pet Parenting Group Classes, we will guide you through the process of managing your dog through all types of scenarios.
- As we say, 90% of our job is training you. We can get your dog to sing the ABCs, but none of that matters if the training doesn’t transfer over to you.
- During this stage, we require consistency and dedication on your part to ensure your dog doesn’t revert back to old, bad behaviors.
Pricing
1 Hour Assestment $109
You will still get some great advice on how to address the issue.
Additionally, we use these assessments to nail down the length of time and pricing for whichever program your pup goes into.
If you decide to leave your pup for the prescribed camp the same day, we contribute the $109 into the cost of camp, essentially making the assessment free.

Are there any breed/age restrictions?
There is a minimum age restriction of about six months which allows time to get all of their vaccinations done. However, there is no maximum age restriction because, despite the saying, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Why should I choose you?
With over 25 years of experience, we have an extensive track record of success. Our trainers receive the best education in the industry. Your questions are answered with kindness and compassion. We consistently push ourselves to exceed your expectations!
Is the cost worth it?
In the same way one would send their child to school, where professional educators are entrusted with their care, dog owners enroll their pups in school, where professional trainers achieve the best results. Is it an investment? Of course! As long as you are a part of the process and maintain the training at home.
When can I get started?
Once you have selected your program, our team is happy to schedule your check-in with your instructor. We then collect a non-refundable deposit, verify vaccinations, and invite you to complete your Pet Parent Portal information.
Where does my dog sleep?
We have raised Kuranda cots in either our luxury suites or standard chain-link enclosures. We have the options of 6x4ft enclosures for large dogs and 4x4ft for smaller dogs. Dogs always have access to clean water and are rotated frequently throughout the day.
Is there someone there overnight?
Our Scottsdale location does have staff overnight in case of emergency. We don't have staff overnight at our Cave Creek facility, but one of the owners does live on the same property.
What should I bring to Check-In?
Some parents will bring in special diet food or medications for their dogs. Any bedding, toys, etc. can be left at home during boarding and training unless otherwise specified.
