Welcome to Arizona's own

Dog House Training Academy!

NOTICE

Dog House Training Academy is going on hiatus. All currently running classes (please see Schedule below) will be completed through graduation, after which head trainer, Leah, is under doctor's orders to take it easy in preparation for the birth of her second child.

There will be a LIMITED NUMBER of Workshops and Meet & Greets offered on Sundays over the coming months -- please check the calendar below for date and time. Private training/consultation (either at the park or in your home) is still available. Please see Private Training rates below and call the office to schedule. We anticipate that group classes will resume in the fall.

If you are in need of ongoing basic training and socialization in a group setting, please visit BOOT CAMP offered by trainer Bert Haagenstad. Boot Camp is sponsored by White German Shepherd Rescue and is an "open entry/open exit class" designed to provide you and your pet with socialization and basic obedience skills. It is conducted on a donation basis, with all donations going to White German Shepherd Rescue. A class schedule, directions, etc. for Boot Camp are available at the BOOT CAMP link.

Emergency Recall Workshop
Coming when called is one the most important training skills, yet it is commonly overlooked. Don’t wait until your dog won't return to you to start training this command. This fast paced, fun workshop is intended to strengthen the vital skill of the recall. Your dog will come running to you immediately through a series of obstacles and distractions created to simulate real-life experiences.
