Testimonials
Sent our German Shepherd puppy for their doggy boot camp and am very satisfied with the results. His trainer, Jake, was great at sending us video updates and explaining how to be handling our new dog post training. You could tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he trains and wants to see them succeed. I was most amazed at my dog’s ability to recall on command now. I can call him off food, people, and other dogs no problem. He’s well-mannered, attentive, and quick to listen and obey. I’ve personally trained my previous dogs, and while they were good dogs, they did not clone close to the level of the professional training. Not inexpensive but a great value and worthwhile investment for a family pet you can trust and rely on.
– Client
The facility is top notch and all the dogs there looked happy and well cared for. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a more professional and quality dog boarding and training facility on the Wasatch Front.
– Client
I took my dog here for training and he did amazing, a week after he got home we had a family emergency and needed to travel out of state. With little notice they accepted Phoenix and treated him well. Highly recommend if you need to board your dogs. Multiple trainers at all times, big facility and a proven track record that they can hold and train any dogs
