We were new to the area and looking for a caring trainer who would help us integrate our new puppy into our family. Lindsay is amazing! Not only does she train our Chocolate Lab, but she continuously educates us and teaches us how to work with our pup, too. We would recommend Lindsay to anyone without hesitation. read more

Lindsay trained my Great Dane- Floyd in 2012 and he was a gentleman until he passed in 2022. She was patient with him and available for brush up group lessons throughout his life. She treats your dog like her own and was very caring and loving. There were times that I thought she was going to run off with him (camping trip) because of the close bond she forms as their trainer. She gives you all the tools you need to have an obedient and loving family member. I have recommended her to multiple people and all have been satisfied with her training. Let's be honest- Everybody thinks they are a dog trainer, nobody is Lindsay. read more

We are so grateful and impressed by Lindsay. She made a huge difference in correcting some of our Frenchie's bad habits and in introducing several more positive ones! She's great with the humans too, to help make sure the changes stick! read more

Ok so our dear boy Enzo developed some anxiety over a move to a new home. Lindsey stepped right in and solved our issues. She taught me how to divert his attention to good things instead of CHASING SHADOWS. He just got home from a week with Lindsey. When I dropped him off, I couldn't walk him during the day. He turned into crazy dog. He is back to walking with me and we are so appreciative of Lindsey's work. She is amazing . Enzo is a Bouvier Des Flanders. This is the place for good responsible training. read more

Arizona Custom Canine - Harper is a good girl - Pet Training Near Me

We are first time dog owners to a 75lb puppy. Needless to say he is well loved but didn't have much structure. He was running the household. One of my neighbor's recommended Lindsay because her grand dog had been through board and train. I thanked her but did not make the call until he was 15 months old. I called and booked a private training so we can get a feel for who Lindsay was and to see how my puppy would respond. Well we were sold and signed him up for a 3 week board and train. We would receive feedback on how he was doing regularly. Our pup is a sheepadoodle with lots of energy and super stubborn. He came back MUCH calmer, more responsive and he just seems more confident. We don't see many of his anxious behaviors left over. Lindsay brought him home and made sure we knew exactly how to handle him. We also had a follow up session to monitor progress. All in all it was a great experience and we as owners now know how to handle him better but we could not teach him all that. Lindsay gave him the foundation he needed. I would 100 percent recommend Lindsay to everyone who wants an expert training your dog. read more

Lindsay is truly amazing!!! She trained my 6 month old golden retriever and she came back like a new dog! So obedient and her listening skills have improved so much. Highly recommend!!! read more

Lindsay is first rate in dog training and corrective behavior. She's always on time and great with our new rescue medium sized Shepard mix breed. She has transitioned him with 2 private sessions and already showing tremendous improvement in walking, obedience, and reduction of incessant barking. Highly recommend, but owners must reinforce for success and train together to help with consistency. She's got 20 years training success and is reasonably priced per hour. read more

Lindsey was fantastic to work with. Our puppy came back well mannered and happy. Her human instructions are clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend! read more

We love our Shih-Tzu, Penny. To a fault, it turns out. We took her from her mom at six weeks and spoiled her, which was no way to start off our dog ownership. As time went on, she developed some bad habits, and became quite territorial. It got to the point where we dreaded having company over, and when my wife got pregnant we began to worry about what it would be like to have a dog and a baby. We hired two separate trainers, and nothing got better. We thought Penny was incorrigible. Finally, Lindsay came highly recommended. We made an appointment for her to meet Penny for a one-hour evaluation. From the moment that she showed up at our house, Penny knew who was boss. Lindsay agreed to take her on as a project. We sent her away "to finishing school" as we told people, and didn't see her for two months. When Lindsay brought her back, she was a changed dog, very well behaved, and responsive to commands. It was nice to have our house back. My wife and I agree that if we ever get another dog, we're sending her to Lindsay FIRST. Just last week, we took a vacation and boarded Penny with Lindsay. She was happy to go back. Lindsay is firm, but you can tell she cares about the dogs she trains. She's a consummate professional, and we do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who might need a good dog trainer. read more

When we got Floyd (blue great dane) as a puppy we fully understood that a dog that will eventually be close to 200 pounds needed appropriate and proper training. We did the research from the pet stores to the mobile training services and clearly found Lindsay to be the most logical choice. She took our "baby" and after 3 weeks of boot camp he returned to us a more manageable and obedient dog. We used to have a giant schnauzer who had a mind of his own and training was not a very easy undertaking. Lindsay did more for Floyd then we were able to do with our previous dog in the 6 years he was with us. Lindsay has been available for us at all times whether we had a question about training or concerns about any behavior. She takes the time to spend with each dog she trains. Without question we would recommend her and in fact we have to several people already. read more

Went to fix this 2 weeks ago. Thank u Lindsay for everything and helping my friend with there dog.

I had used another trainer for a short period of time before he moved out of State. I decided my dog needed additional training so met with Lindsay on a plan of action for my adopted terrier mix shelter dog. Having no knowledge of her background, Lindsay helped me immensely in the psyche of a dog and gave me the tools I needed to assist her with obedience. She is firm but kind and I cannot say enough good things about the results Lindsay achieved. My dog is so much calmer and minds so well. Lindsay helped me understand that obedience is a day in/day out evolution and not one that you can choose to ignore. Since I have been focusing on what to do (and what not to do) I can see a great improvement in our whole situation. Lindsay knows her stuff and with 18 plus years working in the training and Veterinary field, she is an excellent trainer and motivator. I highly recommend Lindsay for dog training and behavior modification. She's awesome!!!! read more

From telephone conversations with tips on breeders and puppies, a tour of her clean and spacious facility, initial training sessions at our home once we added our four-legged family member, 3 weeks of immersion training while we were out of the country, to the follow-up training sessions at our home, in our pool, and at various pet-friendly businesses, Lindsay has been professional and a joy to work with throughout. Thanks to her expertise and extensive experience, she has helped us to be better dog owners and our now 7-month-old puppy to be the absolute best dog and family member she could be. You can not go wrong with Lindsay and Arizona Custom Canine. read more

Lindsay has been amazing!! My dog started having boundary and guarding issues, Lindsay was the third trainer I worked with and the only one who has made a difference! She has a clear philosophy and obvious love for what she does. After 3 weeks with Lindsay, Pinot is a completely new and confident dog! We will be boarding with her as well and can't recommend her enough! read more

Lindsay is the absolute best dog trainer! She is extremely knowledgeable and the moment we met her we knew she was the real deal. She completely transformed the behavior of our Wheaten Terrier puppy, Ralphie. When he came home from his three week training, he was a new dog! Before we met Lindsay, we were extremely stressed because we could not control Ralphie's bad behavior. He was constantly biting and disobeying us. But after Lindsay's help, he is now more obedient, respectful, and loving towards us. But at the same time he still has that crazy terrier personality that we just love! We cannot recommend Lindsay more, she is incredible! read more

Lindsey is the real deal. I am so grateful for her help. After only a month, my 6 month old puppy came home as if she'd had training for years. She is now respectful, well-mannered, and obedient, all while maintaining her kind goofy personality. Lindsey's work is exceptional. I would highly recommend Lindsey to anyone who is considering training their pup. I look forward to continuing to work with custom K-9. Thank you for all you've done. read more

I was so skeptical about any sort of immersion training but was literally out of options when I found Lindsay. She and her team are beyond amazing at what they do. From the moment I dropped our pup off, she made me feel comfortable with him being there as well as was able to tell me right away the issues she saw and how they were going to work on them. Lindsay did a great job transitioning him back into our household and showing us how to take over the training. She was also very patient with me and all my frustrations and questions! I'm pleased to say that our once crazy-hyper dog walks and plays off leash, comes when called and stays in place as long as we tell him to. We still have work to do but the progress he has made is awesome and we owe it to Lindsay and her team! read more

I haven't actually used Lindsey's services because she unfortunately doesn't service my area but she was willing to help me over the phone and give me some tips! I really appreciated her time and expertise on dog training. read more

My husband and I rescued our dog Titus a little over a year ago. For the most part he was pretty well behaved but we were about to have a baby and there were some things we were a little worried about as well. Titus pulled on the leash, jumped up on people when he got excited, got on our furniture and didn't listen to our commands at all. I found Lindsay on yelp by reading all of her great reviews and am so happy I found her. Titus did the 6 week boot camp where he stayed at her house the whole 6 weeks. We sure missed him but Lindsay would text us photos and videos of his progress. I am very happy with the results and feel that it was worth every penny. All the problems I was worried about with having a baby around have been fixed and now we have an amazing dog who is so well behaved! We now take Titus to Lindsay when we go out of town as well because we know she is going to take great care of him. I would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone. Go to her!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

Arizona Custom Canine - Titus doing "watch" - Pet Training Near Me

Lindsay is amazing! Our miniature dachshund Frank is true to his breed - stubborn. When Frank was a puppy we really struggled with crate training at night, walks, and basic obedience. When Lindsay was done with him he slept through the night, didn't fight us while on his leash, and now knows commands like sit, down, stay, etc. Our little guy has kept all his personality and gained so many manners. Lindsay exceeded expectations and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Thank-you!! read more

We were contacted by Linsey and were very happy to hear from her. Thanks to Yelp she will have a happy customer.

Lindsey is AMAZING at what she does! We have a 9 month old Havanese who is a crazy boy with tons of energy. He is goofy to say the least. I was worried training would take away his natural demeanor but it was the best decision we have made. Uni came home as a new boy with manners and seemed much happier after having more routine and structure while away with Lindsey. We did 3 weeks with her and now are boarding for follow up time. He adores Lindsey and gets so excited to see her. I highly recommend letting Lindsey work her magic. It will pay dividends and will be well worth it. Thanks for giving us a great piece of mind that Uni is in the best hands and for all of your hard work. We really appreciate it. A&J&U read more

Lindsey is terrific! She took our 2 Vizsla puppies into boot camp and brought them back very well mannered, respectful puppies. If you know anything about this breed you know that they are very active, high energy dogs!! Lindsey truly go above and beyond and loves your pets as her own. I would recommend anyone considering her services to engage with Lindsey and prepare for a terrific experience. She has become a dependable resource and friend. If you would like to talk with me personally just ask Lindsey for my number, I am happy to offer my thoughts. Thank you Lindsey!!! Carla and my Vizsla's (Ben and Henry) read more

I have worked with a few trainers in the Valley and Lindsey is the best. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she trains. I have one dog who was starting to get more reactive toward other dogs and Lindsey has really helped me learn how to gain control. She has so much knowledge about dogs and helped me pick up on things with my dog that I never would have noticed. My dog is pretty stubborn, but she found ways to get through to her. I wish that we could keep training with her but we've moved out of state. She even offered to help me with recommendations for a trainer once we move. 100% recommend! read more

Lindsay is AMAZING! She is up front and honest. We have a dog who we thought would never change. He began growling at our little children, digging holes, tearing up drip system lines, hyper, basically completely uncontrollable. She took him to her home for 5 weeks trained/molded him into a whole new dog. It didn't stop there, when she brought him back she spent 2 hours with us teaching us what she taught him, how, and why. She gave us the tools to continue the training and showed us indicators to look for to be one step ahead so we can be proactive not responsive. Dogs test you just like children do and we weren't aware of these subtle actions. She is prompt with returning calls, texts and emails. And I have to say she is VERY clean for kenneling and training so many dogs at once. I first thought there is no way this dog is coming back trained with everything on her plate as a wife, mom, & dog behaviorist and on top of that she boards dogs and trains horses but she EXCEEDED our expectations. She has also followed through with follow up training. Lindsay is 100% passionate about her job and the animals that she takes care of. Not to mention she is one patient individual. I felt like a one man circus having 2 boys (3 and 1) and 2 boxers by myself for most of the time as my husband travels 7 months out of the year and she hung in and didn't get frustrated with me not remembering or not following through on my end of the training at times. At first I thought the price was expensive but the results, time and effort I've seen go into the training along with Lindsay's follow up and the life time training the price is legit and definitely worth it. I would recommend Lindsay to those that have a dog with behavior problems and to those that are thinking about getting a puppy and want to start off on the right paw ;-) read more

We were extremely happy with the "doggie boot camp" services we signed up for with Lindsay. Our 11 month old male boxer was so full of energy he literally ran our son over in the back yard when we first got him. Within a few days, we knew we had to make sure this dog was properly trained. Lindsay was amazing with him. She had him for close to 5 weeks for intensive doggie boot camp as I called it. During this time frame, she would send pictures and videos so we were always in the loop of his ongoing training. When he returned home, he had a new found respect for boundaries and the children. The training didn't stop there, Lindsay also came to our house for family dog training several times as well. Continuing the education at home is key to success. we would highly recommend Lindsay for dog training, she loves these dogs and takes definite pride in her work with them. read more

After tolerating (and unknowingly encouraging) my dog's bad behavior for six years, I contacted Lindsay and after she worked with him in immersion training. He is now a solid canine citizen. She also "trained" me how to make sure he stays that way. Lindsay is knowledgeable, and patient but firm and very dedicated to doing what is needed to achieve a good outcome. Her fees are reasonable. In short, I strongly recommend her and will definitely seek her advice and services for all future dogs that join our family. read more

Lindsay Dent is a highly skilled trainer. She worked with my lab, Solomon, at our home and also at her facility (which he loves, by the way). Solly had issues with focusing and obedience, and Lindsay was incredibly patient with him and with teaching me how to properly handle him. I was raised with animals and liked to think I had a natural way with them, but Solly was beyond my skill level. I am so grateful for the time and effort Lindsay put into training Solomon. He has become a totally different dog - for the better. I highly recommend Lindsay if you are looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, and who takes a personal interest in seeing your dog become a loving and obedient member of your family! read more

Anytime my husband and I leave town we take our dogs to Lindsay. We know they are safe here and not left alone at night like 95% of other boarders. Lindsay has trained our 3 dogs as well as several of our friends dogs. She is piece of mind. read more

We adopted our dog Chloe as a puppy from a rescue organization. She was high energy from the start and we fell in love with her . Unfortunately, Chloe had significant behavior issues after a really bad boarding experience at another facility about a year ago. After that she demonstrated behaviors that were very concerning as we have 2 kids and not sure if she was a good fit for our family after that. We couldn't figure out her behavior issues on our own. THe first time we met Lindsay she worked with us one on one at our home. In that time, we learned more about Chloe and her behavior in 2 short hours than from any other trainer we had used in the past Lindsay not only identified clearly what Chloe needed to work on but spent time training us as a family also. She knew we had kids and were concerned about her behavior. We had CHloe go to her home for immersion training. She was an anxious, nervous and protective dog that did not socialize well. She just returned to our home and already she is a much different dog. Lindsay was always available to answer our questions, give us updates on how Chloe was doing while she was going through immersion training. . Lindsay did a great job explaining what we needed to do also to continue her training. We have a very busy family life and she helped us problem solve different scenarios so that we could be consistent with our training. Lindsay has an incredible passion for dogs, obedience, and training and it shows.Her knowledge of training, dogs, and dog behavior was just amazing. She understood who Chloe was and was so thorough and complete with her training . It wasn't good enough if Chloe did a good behavior once for her, she had to do it over and over. I don't think I ever heard her raise her voice at Chloe- she just has that uncanny ability to be one step ahead of the dog. I would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone who has a dog. It was so worth the investment for our dog Chloe. read more
