CHANDLER DOG TRAINING
Dog Training in Chandler, AZ
I come to your house, and I work around your schedule.
26+ years in the Valley | Most dogs done in 4–5 sessions | Lifetime support, seven days a week
Most Chandler dogs aren’t badly behaved. They’re bored and alone.
A lot of this town works twelve-hour shifts. Intel out at Ocotillo, Microchip, Northrop, the campuses along Price Road. Four on, three off. On call. Compressed schedules that don’t look anything like nine to five.
Which means the dog is alone for ten or eleven hours, then his person walks in exhausted with about twenty minutes of energy left. Nobody in that house is a bad owner. There just isn’t time, and the dog is paying for it with chewing, barking, digging, and losing his mind the second anyone comes through the door. I come to your house and do the work. You don’t have to be there for every session, and I schedule around your shift instead of asking you to rearrange your life around mine. Then I hand it back to you in a form you can actually maintain in twenty minutes a day.
What I see in Chandler homes
A family called me about their Blue Heeler puppy. Too much energy, and a puppy brain on top of it. We started with house manners. Once she had those, we took her out to restaurants and the outdoor mall. Now she goes everywhere with her family.
Another family had a Rottweiler puppy who ruled the house. That is fine at 20 pounds and a real problem at 80. We worked on her house manners and her walking manners while she was still small enough to argue with. She is 80 pounds now, and she is a great puppy.
Heelers, Aussies, Shepherds, Labs, Rotties. Chandler is full of working breeds living in subdivisions. A working dog with nothing to do will find something to do, and it is usually something you do not want. The fix is not a bigger yard. It is rules at home and places to go.
Puppies with too much energy, and puppies who think they run the house. That is a lot of what I see in Chandler.
Where I work in Chandler
Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch, Sun Groves, Clemente Ranch, Cooper Commons, Pecos Ranch, Andersen Springs, Warner Ranch, Circle G Ranches, Carino Estates, Sun Lakes, Sunbird, Springfield, Solera, downtown and the Historic Square, and the Airpark area. If you’re not on that list, call me anyway.
Once your dog is solid at home, home stops being the test. We work the Paseo Trail along the Consolidated Canal, the lake loop at Veterans Oasis Park, the paved loop at Desert Breeze, the hilltop at Paseo Vista, and the patios around Dr. A.J. Chandler Park downtown on a Saturday.
Pick the program that fits
Every program is custom, and they run from about five weeks for house and door manners up to nine weeks for a dog you can take anywhere. Puppy training, obedience, behavior work, and PTSD service dog training all included.
