About AZ Dog Sports

What they offer

AZ Dog Sports describes itself as a training gym for dogs and an academy for dog trainers. Its menu covers small group classes in obedience, puppy training, sports and agility, along with private lessons, in-home and virtual sessions, outdoor training classes, swim lessons, day training and board and train. Owners pick the format that suits them.

Approach

The site says the team follows CCPDT guidelines, adheres to APDT standards and lives by a positive reinforcement philosophy, with the view that an owner should never give up on a dog for bad behavior because behavior can be redirected with patience and the right education.

Good to know

The same business runs AZ Dog Smart Academy, a certification program for people who want to become dog trainers. Check the class calendar for current group classes and ask which package fits your dog.
