“Rowdy was out of control when walking and passing another dog and he was getting aggressive. I tried private training sessions and group sessions (for 4 months) and nothing worked. After one session of engagement classes he is well on his way to be a well trained dog that I can walk without chaos and aggression. I will be returning for another engagement class next month.
Wes spent a lot of individual time with Rowdy and they were so supportive and encouraging. They gave me the confidence I needed to handle Rowdy. And most important, I’m not hearing my friends and family telling me to take Rowdy back to the Humane Society.“
“We cannot express enough gratitude for having Nadia's Dog Nanny Services in our community. From the moment we first used their services, it was clear that Nadia and Craig don't just offer a service--they provide a second home for our furry family members. Their passion for animals shines through in everything they do, making it a place full of love and care.Our three dogs always get excited at the mention of going to Nadia's. It's like they understand they're about to have the time of their lives. Our German Shorthaired Pointer, Axel, in particular, has a special love for their place. He thoroughly enjoys socializing with the other dogs, and we've noticed how these interactions have positively impacted his behavior and happiness. There's always something happening at Nadia's, ensuring that it's never a dull moment for our pups.For anyone in need of dog nanny services, we couldn't recommend Nadia's Dog Nanny Services highly enough. Their dedication, love for animals, and the sheer joy they bring to our dogs are beyond compare. Nadia and Craig have not just earned our trust--they've won our hearts and the paws of our dogs too!“
“Our 2 pitties did a 4 week board & train with Jose and they came back with new skills, and they’re way more eager to please. We now attend his Saturday classes almost every weekend for socialization and the dogs are always so excited to see him; he treats them like they’re his own. Jose has created an awesome dog community in Scottsdale and he is a great trainer & friend to both the dogs and their owners. We would recommend him to anyone that asked.“
“I highly recommend Elisa with Fit Dog Training. She is very knowledgeable and comes to you to assist you in training your dog. I like this because she is able to assess your dog and meet your needs in the dogs own environment. Lucy (my dog)loved the training! Now it’s up to me to follow through with repetition..Elisa is straight forward and gives you hands on assist, video assist and her availability to answer questions. Definitely give her a call if you are considering dog training! Also reasonably priced if you look at various programs. Totally worth your investment! Lucy is the star of neighborhood dog walking crew because she is so well behaved after using the techniques we learned through this training program! ?“
“After getting a new puppy and trying to train on our own we quickly realized we needed help. We loved working with John, he had each member of our family participate. He was patient and kind. Our puppy quickly picked up the skills we were trying to teach as long as we did our homework.“
“Cathy was terrific in helping guide and train our 8-week-old golden retriever puppy -- as well as us! We (the owners) needed the training tools even more than the puppy. Within weeks, we had door manners organized as well as eating manners, coming when called, leash training, and lots of fun games for learning, engagement, and bonding opportunities. We highly recommend Cathy's Canines!“
“Our long hair cat needed a trim. We've tried several groomers, with less than stellar results.
When I called to make an appointment at Uptown Pet Spa, the experience was different from the beginning. She seemed more excited about life. She looked at how to make it happen, instead of reasons why not.
When we arrived, she greeted us, taking care to make sure my cat was okay. He isn't too fond of the cat carrier, and was making chupacabra noises.
When it was all done, he looked good and much lighter, shedding bunches of fur. The bill was very fair, and I look forward to going back. Maybe get some scales next time...“
“We have been using Dogtopia for about three years now. Our pup is a bit high maintenance, but she is so loved and cared for when she is at Dogtopia! We may not need daily daycare anymore, but Brownie still loves to visit! We are so grateful to have somewhere we know she is safe and loved to board her when we are out of town.“
“I recently had to make the incredibly difficult decision to put my beloved dog, Sasha, to sleep. This was my first time going through this heart-wrenching process, and I was incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Gina and her team at Peaceful Passing by my side.
Dr. Gina walked me through every step with such kindness, gentleness, and compassion. She lovingly advocated for Sasha, ensuring her comfort and dignity throughout. The process was handled with such care that I knew Sasha was in the best hands.
Sasha passed away like the true queen she was, resting on her favorite satin pillow, covered in her throw, and cradled in my arms, surrounded by the people who loved her tremendously. It was a peaceful and loving farewell, which I will always be grateful for.
Dr. Gina and her team made an unbearable situation a bit more bearable with their empathy and professionalism. I can't recommend Peaceful Passing highly enough. If you ever find yourself in the heartbreaking position of saying goodbye to a beloved pet, Dr. Gina is who you want by your side.“
“We love D Pet Hotels. They were originally referred to us by a happy neighbor. Wadsworth can barely stay in my arms or on the leash when we walk into the hotel. We use them for day care and their business model is perfect. The staff is always welcoming and greets us at the door. Wadsworth comes home happy and smells great. Look no further for Doggie Day care!“
“Yoni, Jenna, and John are amazing. We started with private and group training for our 4-month-old puppy. After a good foundation, we sent him to boarding/training for 3 weeks and WOW the progress has been AMAZING. He is calmer and can be with my two young boys without running around stealing socks, toys, and snacks. He loves his 'place mat' which we can move around the house. Our walks improve every day.
The weekend group training sessions (included with the bootcamp, which is a HUGE bonus) help both me and Kody stay on track while making progress as he continues to grow as a puppy. Thank you so much for caring for our dog while we traveled and setting us up for success! Time to keep it up with group sessions and access to the entire online training! Thanks so much, Yoni and team!!!!“
“The staff here is wonderful. I bring my dog and cat here and would recommend them to anyone in the community.“
“I love this place first and foremost because my dog loves this place. But most importantly the staff are amazing. They love my dog and make him feel comfortable no matter what! He has high anxiety and isn’t comfortable everywhere. Dogtopia is hi second home. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else!!!“
“My dog Nala has been coming here for over two years and loves it! She always has so much fun and you can tell upon pickup that she had a great day! The staff is really friendly and always greets Nala by name. I like knowing that she is safe and well cared for when I drop her off! I recommend this daycare to everyone!“
“Had an emergency and needed a place for my puppy to stay and Marcene was god sent! She is great with the dogs and is a very caring owner! If you ever need dog boarding services she’s the best in town! 5/5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“I've had the pleasure of trying out several dog training places, but this one truly stands out as the best. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I had found something special.The trainers here are exceptional. Their knowledge, understanding, and kindness set them apart. The training environment is fantastic. Unlike large facilities, this place is cozy, essentially one room, creating a close-knit and more intimate experience. There's a genuine focus on you and your dog, eliminating distractions and fostering a more authentic connection. As well, they provide detailed sheets after each class, outlining what was covered in the class. This allowed me to continue practicing at home effectively. They handed out a new sheet weekly.The trainers bring their personal dogs and service dogs to the classes. Their dogs are a testament to their expertise. Seeing their own dogs in action convinced me of their legitimacy as trainers – a unique aspect I haven't observed elsewhere.The transparency of their schedule on their website is amazing. You know exactly what you're signing up for, and it reflects their commitment to a well-structured program.Beyond their exceptional training expertise, I can't express enough how grateful I am for the incredibly supportive atmosphere here. During one of the classes, my dog had a few accidents on the floor, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed and embarrassed. Not only did they offer to clean it up and insisted on taking care of it for me multiple times, the trainers handled the situation with compassion and understanding.They immediately reassured me that accidents happen, and that all dogs have accidents sometimes-- especially when they are young and still learning. Their words of encouragement were not only comforting but also genuine. One of the trainers even shared a personal experience of their own service dog having an accident , which made me feel understood and less alone in the situation. It's clear that the trainers here not only excel in their knowledge and skills but also prioritize creating a supportive and understanding environment for both pets and their owners.If you're looking for a dog training center that goes beyond just teaching commands and fosters a compassionate and encouraging space, this is the place for you.If you're looking for a dog training center with knowledgeable trainers, that goes beyond just teaching commands and fosters a compassionate and encouraging space, and with proven success with the trainer's own dogs, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it to fellow dog owners seeking a meaningful and effective training journey.“
“The Staff is very friendly. It is competitively priced. They genuinely know and care for the dogs. My dog loves going in every morning and is always sad to leave.“
“My family has been using Hopi for 8+ years now. I now have 4 dogs of my own and Hopi proves time and time again that they’ll go above and beyond to work with me and take care of my pups. They've been there and helped when my puppy was only 4 months old and had an abscess on his elbow from an injury. They've helped when my 4 yr old husky Zeus broke a bone in his arm. Just recently my 7 month old Husky puppy Stryker needed a major emergency surgery. They were willing to get him in quickly and did an amazing job! Without their help I don’t know what we would have done. They answer my questions in a timely manner, are flexible with scheduling and everyone has always been so friendly to us. I enjoy going there for visits and I trust them with my dogs wholeheartedly. Storm, Summit, Stryker and Zeus thank you for all you do Hopi!! ?“
“We love this location! We came into town or a weekend and needed a place for our dog, Paloma, and the reviews here swayed us. The staff is extremely friendly and they know exactly what they're doing. They love and care for all of the dogs staying there as if they're their own. The staff is extremely attentive and they make sure the facility is safe and clean. Next time Paloma makes the trip to phx, she'll be staying here!“
“SuAnn and this school are both nothing short of wonderful. I'm convinced puppy school is more for owners to learn how to be good puppy parents than it is for the puppies, but the dogs learn a lot too during the course. Our double doodle puppy calmed down tremendously over the 6 week course and learned several basic, but very important, commands. We now feel confident taking her out in public knowing that we can control her behavior and enjoy going out with her. SuAnn is a wonderful teacher. It's clear that she loves dogs - and they love her too.“
“We took our little boy Enzo there for boarding. We hadn't ever left him for more than a night or 2 - so to say the least we were wrecks... We took him a few times for daycare before we left and he loved it. They were very attentive and he got to play with other dogs and still got his scratches and pets. He wasn't all that excited to leave. We will continue to bring him for daycare so he can see his new doggie and human friends. Enzo boarding experience was just as great as daycare. They continually send pictures and let us know how he was doing but we could see from his face he was having a grand time. We are so relieved to have a place to leave our precious little boy knowing that he is safe, happy and very well taken care of!!! Thank you House of Mutts!!!“

“We've had several dogs in the past, and various trainers. Nothing ever worked very well, and our dogs were always treat-demanding, poorly behaved, barking in the house, and difficult to walk due to leash-pulling/jumping/barking at other dogs. We had the same problem with our new dog Ollie, our beautiful standard red poodle. After failing several other trainers and various classes, we were referred to Jimi Livshitz of Your Dog Guru. After Jimi trained Ollie at his training facility, he brought Ollie back to us, then Jimi came to our house daily for a number of weeks to train us to be able to not only use all the commands, but to also teach us how to protect Ollie from danger, particularly from poorly controlled dogs. The results of his training are nothing short of a miracle! We are extremely happy! Compared to our pre-Jimi-trained anxious dog who incessantly barked, jumped on guests, ran all over the house, pulled on the leash and so forth (creating lots of misery for us), our post-training Ollie is a happy, loving, self-controlled, obedient dog! Amazingly, all the anxiety and nuisance behaviors are gone! He follows all commands happily, is under control and not distracted, walks off-leash next to our left leg, and plays and lounges with us in the front yard without need for a leash. He follows multiple commands without any problems including properly entering and exiting doors to and from the outside, heel, come, go to kennel, go to cot, place, sit, down, get up on the mailbox or wall, and get in and out of the pool. Ollie is now very happy, loves to play with us, runs on the treadmill unaided for 20 minutes twice a day for additional exercise (which he loves to do and looks forward to) and he does all this readily and without hesitation or needing to repeat commands. The word NO is never required or used now. All he wants is love and praise, and no treats are ever needed. We couldn't be happier. Jimi's training has facilitated an obedient, happy, healthy, and loving partnership for Ollie and us, literally transforming our lives. We feel sorry for all the poorly trained anxious dogs and owners out there. Jimi is a very strong advocate for dogs, and he will not allow punishment, leash neck-yanking, or choke chains to be used. Jimi gets our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation!“
“I was searching for a house sitter for my two poodles and found Don through Arizona Dog Sports, where he's a trainer. I used to take my girls there and while we were not in his classes, we had very positive experiences. .So after a meet and greet, I booked Don to house sit at my condo for three nights. I was very anxious leaving because one of my girls had recently been attacked at a local doggy daycare. But Don was accommodating and caring and put my mind at ease. He sent pics every day and followed all my feeding, walking and medication instructions. By evening, my girls looked happy and tuckered out. Don left my condo perfectly neat and clean and I'm very happy with his service! I will definitely use him again.“
“With how frequently I travel, I've tried 3 boarding options for my dog and Applewood is by far the best. It might not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and their staff is amazing- from the groomers to the front desk staff & everyone really. The staff even encourage good habits, & you can tell they provide plenty of love there. Best grooming + boarding spot, have recommended to others & will continue to!“
