About Zen Dog Training

What they offer

Zen Dog Training in Bentonville offers group classes that follow its private-lesson curriculum, private lessons with an emphasis on impulse control, and an exclusive board & train in which your dog lives in the trainer's home, with only two dogs taken at a time. Service dog training is also offered.

Background

The About page says the trainer began training dogs in 2001, starting with hard-to-adopt dogs from a shelter in Tulsa, and has focused on severe aggression, fear and behavior problems as well as service dogs. It also says the trainer co-authored the 2024 LIMA guidelines.

Getting started

The site invites you to schedule a free evaluation. The board & train books weeks ahead, so ask about dates early.
