Testimonials
“Will is amazing! He really knows what he’s talking about and what he’s doing. He’s very passionate about guiding you to train your dog with positive reinforcement and love. Our reactive Springer Millie has come a long way with Will’s guidance. Even though we are not always as consistent as we need to be, we/she have learned a lot and we will continue to implement all of the great stuff Will has taught us. He is accessible and cares about your dog.
I highly recommend Will. We have used 2 other trainers in the valley that don’t even come close to Will! I am so glad I reached to him.”
– Kayla Smit
“Will helped us to train our young, reactive rescue dog. He taught us so many different ways to handle the issues we were experiencing, as well as recommended resources to help us better understand her behavior. It is obvious that Will is an expert in dog behavior and passionate about what he does. There isn’t a doubt in our minds that if we hadn’t reached out to and worked with Will that we wouldn’t be where we are today with our dog. We are grateful for his direction, dedication, and commitment to helping us. Thank you, Will!”

About the Trainer
Phoenix Dog Training and Behavior Center is led by certified dog behaviorist Will Bangura, who specializes in science-based, force-free behavior modification for dogs with aggression, anxiety, separation anxiety, fearfulness, reactivity, and other complex behavioral issues. The business offers personalized in-home training and virtual consultations across the Phoenix metro area and beyond, using only positive reinforcement techniques—no shock collars, prong collars, or choke chains. Will is an internationally recognized expert with advanced certifications in canine behavior and applied ethology, and he is the author of two books on dog behavior. Services include puppy training, obedience, house-training, and specialized programs for service dogs and dogs with cognitive dysfunction. The center focuses on long-term behavioral change through tailored behavior modification plans rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis.
Clients receive customized support whether their dog is a puppy, adolescent, adult, or senior, and training is designed to fit the dog’s natural environment for maximum effectiveness. Virtual sessions are available for dogs that become overly stressed by in-person visits, ensuring accurate assessment and safe progress. The business also provides resources, articles, and books to support pet parents in their training journey.
Will is highly regarded for his compassionate, evidence-based approach and has helped transform the lives of dogs with severe behavioral challenges, including those serving as mobility assistance animals.
