When you choose to work with our team, you are signing up for a lifetime of support, help, and guidance. We make an effort to create relationships with all of our clients because when dog training gets hard, you need your support system there to boost your confidence and help you work through hard times. Dog training isn’t always easy!

Our priority in all cases is to create a beautiful, harmonious relationship between you and your dog; one built on trust, reliability, communication and a clear understanding of each other. Once we have relationship everything else starts to slot into place quite nicely. Our training methods vary based on each dog we are working with as every dog needs a different, personalised approach to training. We strive to use the least intrusive methods possible in all scenarios, and we always prioritise play skills, training with food, interactive games between the dog and handler, and communication skills.

We offer payment plans interest free for some of our more expensive services such as our residential training programmes and our Mentorship Programme. Payment plans must be requested upon booking, please email our team for more information.

Your Next Chapter

The Phoenix K9 Mentorship Program is suited to any aspiring dog trainers, current dog trainers keen to keep learning and developing, dog walkers looking to expand on their skills, and dog owners who are extremely passionate and interested in learning more about their own dogs and dog behaviour. The program is 6 months long, and covers all things dog training, students also get the opportunity to chat with some very well known international guest speakers within the industry throughout the program. The PHX K9 Mentorship Program is a combination of virtual learning and in person training at the Mentorship meet up days. My program is renowned for creating a supportive, family-like environment between the students, most of which become extremely good friends during the Mentorship Program.
