I can't say enough good things about Lindsey!…read more We recently brought home a rescue that I knew would be challenging but had no idea how hard she would be. She was food aggressive, she was aggressive with our family - bit all of us at least once - attacked our other two dogs and literally went to the bathroom wherever she preferred. I'm not one to give up on dogs but knew that if we kept her we needed help! We decided that if we were going to work with one of our dogs - we'd also work with our other naughty dog to retrain him of his bad habits. IN THE FIRST SESSION we saw significant changes in their behavior! She is so knowledgeable, so professional, and she got my kids involved so they know what to do! We just finished our last session and I'm so grateful to her for all of the tools she's given our family to help our dogs be the best behaved versions of themselves! We still have our homework, and they still have a ways to go but this experience has been so amazing! Thank you girl, love ya!!!

We moved away earlier this year and were so SO bummed to leave such a great training and caretaking provider. All of her team is prepared to deal with difficult dogs and help reinforce good behavior, so all of our lunchtime visits included built-in training for our little pups. The team also sent photo updates and left detailed report cards every single day without fail. Lindsey herself is such a boss when it comes to training and is so so patient and welcoming. All of her own dogs are super patient too and were incorporated into the training sessions to help our little pups get used to being around other dogs. We (pups included) miss Lindsey and TLDSH tremendously!

I met Bryana about 5 years ago after I sought training for my first Belgian Malinois, and I have…read morenothing but great things to say about her training ability. She's worked with both my Malinois (who have VERY different personalities and abilities). She's helped me with everything from treadmill training, to riding along a bicycle, to keeping them away from my cat, to basic through advanced obedience. And LISTEN, this is REAL obedience training. I've taken my prior dogs through Petsmart courses, and passed their advanced class, but those trainers (most of them anyway) have no idea how to really train a dog, and their owner. I considered myself to have above-average knowledge with training dogs, but watching Bryana work with my dogs sure humbled me quite a bit. I just assumed my female Malinois would never pick up a focused heel, but within 5 minutes she was doing a perfect focused heel with Bryana. When I tried it, she'd slack off. So I realized I needed the training more than my dog. Bryana was not only there to help during training sessions, but she answered texts for little things as they came up outside of class. She can also handle herself around protection dogs. There was a scary incident where I was working my dogs with a decoy at the same time and the decoy was injured (due to a suit malfunction). In the chaos, I was unable to get both my dogs off. Bryana, who was just there to take pics, jumped in the training area and didn't hesitate to pull one of my dogs off while I pulled off the other. She knows how to read dogs' body language, and knew how do this without getting injured, and keeping the decoy safe from further injury. Oh, and one more thing, I had a terrible incident when my dogs escaped my yard. While I was driving around looking for them, I called to let her know and she immediately posted on our local Fido Alert (lost pets) FB page for me. Luckily, I found them less than an hour later, but it was thoughtful of her to help me out by getting their pics and info out there right away.

Tanja is a very calm and well knowledgeable trainer! I am so grateful that Tanja from AZ K9 Academy…read moretook us on as clients. Her methodology and approach in explaining the dogs mind and way of thinking after carefully analyzing them during training is by far the best I have seen. Every question gets answered in a well explained way and provides useful tools and instructions for your own personal downtime/follow up training with your dog after the session. We adopted Ahsoka (Belgian Malinois-German Shepard mix) at 4 months of age from a no kill rescue and found out that day there were many issues needing to be addressed - diet, confidence, and just learning how to be a dog. After reaching out, Tanja was quick to respond and set up a complimentary home visit to meet Ahsoka. Tanja built a level of comfort with Ahsoka during that initial visit and showed me immediately how to handle and respond to Ahsoka in order to stop her nervous behavior and acting out (in addition to how to help Ahsoka in diet and nutrition and get the explosive diarrhea under control, getting in and out of the car and taking short rides without the constant vomiting, and next-steps for being in the presence of other humans and their pets without the crazy barking and fear behaviors). When Tanja left, I felt hope again. We have been training with Tanja once a week since the initial visit and have learned so much already. Ahsoka is now going to public places and showing everyone what a sweet girl she really is! Currently, we have her in the 1-week Board-n-Train and were so thrilled to see her attempting play with other dogs for the first time. What an awesome moment to see Ahsoka getting to just be a dog. It has been such a great experience for our family and Ahsoka. She has been able to learn how to become more confident and we are learning how to manage her energy. Hands down I would recommend AZ K9 Academy to anyone who needs to find a great trainer. AZ K9 Academy is well informed, efficient and very professional at this craft. More than five stars for sure - very highly recommended!

We have a 10-month-old dog that we believed would benefit from having a "professional" assist us…read morewith teaching proper commands, walking on a leash, etc. We wanted the training to be personal (not a group setting) and done in our home. We contacted AZ K9 Academy and Jennifer was available to provide the training. The cost was a bit steep - $496.80 for 4, one-hour sessions - but we felt we would have greater outcomes with personal training, so we booked it. On a positive note, Jennifer was always on time, prepared, pleasant and we trained the entire hour. We learned some basic tools to better assist our pup with walks, being around other dogs, etc. It was during the second training session that things went south. Jennifer wanted to try a collar that she could electronically "buzz" (vibrate) in order to get our pup's attention. We permitted it and with the first buzz, our pup became frantic and was clearly afraid of the buzz. Jennifer said this was "normal" for some pups the first time they feel the vibration. However, with each buzz, things only got worse, so we asked her to stop (she did) and we did our best to end the training on a positive note for our pup (giving her the command to sit, then down and she was rewarded.) The following week, we could not get our pup near the living room (where she had been "buzzed"). When Jennifer came the 3rd and 4th weeks, our pup was clearly afraid of her and was reluctant to do anything near her or with her. Essentially, we lost 2 to 3 weeks of training because of this incident. So we paid a lot of money and got very little training (due to our pup being afraid of Jennifer when she used the buzz collar). Bottom line - we know every pup reacts differently to various situations and when this occurred with our pup, we perhaps felt that AZ K9 Academy should have offered at least one additional week of training to compensate for the lost training days.

I always worried about leaving town and could not wait to get home even though our neighbors would stop in to check on our dog while we were away. Not any more now that we can count on Sabrina. From the very beginning when she sends you the questionnaire that includes all sorts of detailed questions so that nothing will be missing in case of need to the text message she requests and responds to once you've arrived home we know that leaving our dog in her care is something we can do without the slightest concern. When we are out of town she visits twice per day, walking Chili our lab/pit girl, and even taking her to the dog park! We joke that Chili likes it when we go out of town because she enjoys her visits from Sabrina so much! Sabrina is very knowledgeable about dogs as well. When Chili developed a strange skin problem that was not responding to anything from the vet Sabrina recommended adding an item from the kitchen pantry to Chili's diet and now about 2 months later the skin problem is gone. Sabrina is absolutely reliable, extremely organized and professional, very responsive to emails and texts, and just in general is an uncommon and highly valuable resource. I just don't encounter many people out there in the world who are as reliable and committed to their work as Sabrina. When we return home from a 2+ week vacation Chili is calm and happy. Not sure what else we could hope for...other than to be able to take Chili with us everywhere. In the meantime, Sabrina is a terrific resource, and we are very thankful to have found her.
