Testimonials
“… the staff and trainers seemed willing to want to work with us and sought us out to give us info every time I asked my many questions. I knew AZG cared for their dogs and the families they worked with. Brian was so patient with us as we worked to raise our funds privately. Once bootcamp started, I realized the level of professionalism that AZG provided. The trainer for our dog clearly cared deeply for her and she made sure we knew exactly what our new service dog needed to perform at her best. This whole experience has been so rewarding and made more enjoyable because of AZG.”
– LeeAnn, Mother
“Brian was a wonderful trainer. He worked with my puppy for 3 weeks and the difference is outstanding. He truly gives you the tools to help you and your pup succeed. Bobby was always happy, excited and ready to work every time we had a check in. Brian really cares and has dedicated much of his life to training dogs.”
– Client

About the Trainer
Arizona Goldens LLC is a service dog training organization specializing in custom-trained service dogs for individuals with disabilities such as autism, epilepsy, PTSD, mobility impairments, hearing loss, and medical alert needs. They offer three program options: Fully Trained Service Dogs, Green Dog Programs (foundation-trained dogs for owner completion), and an Owner-Trained Online Program with over 200 videos, monthly coaching, and live events. Their trainers travel to clients’ homes for initial assessments and final boot camp training, reducing transition stress and lowering costs. With over 23 years of experience, they were among the first U.S. programs to train autism service dogs and have placed over 300 service dog teams worldwide. They provide ongoing support for two months after placement and assist with fundraising and navigating international access laws.
Their team includes founders Brian and Debbie Daugherty, with extensive training backgrounds and education from Bergin University of Canine Studies. They focus on personalized, disability-specific training and dual-tasking dogs to address multiple conditions. Clients praise their compassion, professionalism, and responsiveness, especially Brian’s patient guidance and hands-on care during board-and-train programs.
They also develop training systems for animal-assisted therapy used by occupational, physical, and speech therapists, and support police, military, and school programs.
