About Elevate Dog Center

What they offer

Elevate Dog Center on West Zinnia Avenue combines dog training, behavior modification and dog sports with dog and cat boarding, daycare and a dog swimming pool. It serves Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Vail and nearby communities.

Training

Trainers build individualized plans for new puppies, everyday manners, unwanted behaviors and canine athletes, and teach owners to carry the work on at home. The puppy package is for puppies up to 6 months: they attend day school three days a week for eight weeks, working on socialization, crate and potty training, handling, field trips and manners, with a weekly group class for owners. Classes start on a set schedule, so ask to join the roster for the next one.

How they train

The site describes fair, balanced, science-informed methods that combine clear communication, boundaries, positive motivation, enrichment and exercise.
