About Empire Ridge Ranch

What they offer

Empire Ridge Ranch trains on East 44th Street in Tucson and offers private coaching, group classes, herding and dog sports. Private one-on-one sessions come to you and cover puppy problems, everyday obedience such as walking nicely and coming when called, and reactivity, anxiety, aggression, barking and lunging.

Comprehensive program

A comprehensive private training program works on everyday obedience, off-leash reliability where it is safe, and preparation for the Canine Good Citizen test, therapy dog testing and service dog public access at a foundation level.

Classes and sports

The classes page describes herding as close to year round as the weather allows, drop-in rally and a training lab, and a weekly PSA / American Schutzhund club. The Gold Program is a small, year-long coaching group for motivated teams interested in sport or advanced obedience, combining private lessons, semi-privates, classes, workshops and drop-ins.
