Arizona Dog Training, operated by Maryna Ozuna at the forty-five-acre Arizona Doggy Dude Ranch in Sierra Vista, offers personalized board and train programs and private lessons for dogs of all ages. Maryna personally trains only two to three dogs at a time in her home environment, ensuring individualized attention and daily training in varied settings both at the ranch and in town. Her approach combines nationally recognized expertise in canine movement, structure, and sports therapy through her proprietary Canine Kinaesthetics™ system and Movement Markers™ clinics. She is one of only three trainers whose methods were incorporated into the revised edition of The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete, and she is a certified dog trainer with IACP and a juried member of NADOI. Her clients benefit from her 30 years of experience training thousands of dogs, including working sled dogs in Germany and consulting globally with breeders and competitors. She also provides ongoing support beyond training, as demonstrated by her involvement in a client’s dog’s medical emergency that led to timely veterinary intervention.

The business specializes in custom-tailored Puppy, Teen, and Adult Board & Train programs, as well as private lessons. Dogs are never isolated in kennels but are integrated into a controlled, supervised environment to prevent bad habits and build confidence. Maryna’s training emphasizes creating happy, focused, and responsive companions through movement-based behavioral restructuring.

Clients come from across the Southwest, including Arizona, California, Colorado, and New Mexico, to drop off their dogs at the ranch for intensive training.

Maryna also offers Movement Markers™ workshops for professionals and has been a featured speaker at national conferences for NADOI and IACP.
