Testimonials
Not only did she train our Frenchie Puper, she trained us too. Her patience, guidance and understanding of dog behavior made all the difference. Piper is more confident and well behaved at 9 months old and continues to grow every day.
– Client
We are beyond grateful for Missy and the incredible impact she has had on our family. Our miniature labradoodle, Teddy, has always been full of energy, but as our daughter entered the toddler stage, things became overwhelming. Missy helped Teddy gain confidence and impulse control, and gave us the tools to make our home peaceful. Teddy now walks beautifully on a leash and is calmer. We were able to keep him—something we weren’t sure was possible.
– Client
I’ve raised and worked with dogs my whole life, but then I got “M”. He was fearful, reactive, and had bitten someone. Missy kept him for 10 weeks as a board and train, worked with him in all kinds of areas, and supplied resources for us to continue together. The confidence he gained is the best part—I’m now confident taking him into public spaces.

About the Trainer
Active K9 Training Solutions is a dog training business based in Phoenix, AZ, founded and led by Missy Dallas, a CPDT-KA certified and K9 CPR-certified professional with over 15 years of experience. The business specializes in building strong, trusting relationships between dogs and their owners through science-based, positive reinforcement methods. They offer customized training programs for puppies and adult dogs, focusing on basic obedience, confidence building, socialization, and behavior modification for issues like reactivity, fear, and aggression. Their services include private one-on-one training, board and train programs, advanced obedience, and puppy training—all designed to create lasting, real-world behavior changes. They do not use prong collars, chain collars, or e-collars, prioritizing humane, stress-free techniques that rely on food, play, and affection as motivators. Clients receive ongoing support, including access to training resources and direct communication with Missy after sessions.
The team emphasizes individualized plans tailored to each dog’s personality, learning style, and home environment. They help dogs develop essential life skills such as impulse control, healthy social behavior, and reliable recall. Their board and train program provides immersive, professional training while owners are away, followed by weekend sessions to reinforce learning at home. Active K9 is known for helping families keep their dogs by resolving severe behavioral challenges, including aggression and anxiety, and empowering owners with the tools to maintain progress long after training ends.
