AZ Dog Sports

The Instructors were very engaging, helpful, & always stayed positive. Each class-at the time-was aprx. $160.00 for 6 consecutive lessons. There were several times that I was unable to make the weekly class, & they were very accommodating.

Everything has been wonderful! The ability for my husband and I to train our fur-babies is so exciting. We really love being guided on how to teach our pets and they love going all week long. They have picked up and remember how to perform the tasks we ask of them without hesitation. They enjoy their classes and have so much fun. They love agility and scent classes. All the staff at AZ Dog Sports are top notch, caring and very friendly!

It went great my puppy is listening well and it takes the stress off me thanks

Duncan, who is 7 months old, needed some interaction with other pups his own age. We have two dogs at home, but Duncan needed some socialization with other dogs of varying sizes. He's only 7# so he tends to be a little fearful, which is understandable, when approached by unfamiliar dogs. I'm very confident that these obedience classes will give Duncan the skill sets in dealing with new experiences. The Obedience 1 class includes not only obedience, but agility as well, breaking up the stress of the structure. He did very well on both accounts and slept most of the afternoon, which is an indication that he had a great time.

I love this place! I've been taking classes with my puppy for the past three months. I'm really impressed with the quality of the trainers, the training area and the variety and quantity of classes offered. And to top off great service they started a new pricing program for people who would like to train more or with multiple dogs! Also a giant plus is the indoor, air-conditioned building in the summer and heated in the winter.

Both class and training academy were absolutely amazing-worth the time and money.

Az Dog Smart Academy is a great option for those who truly want a hands-on learning experience with extremely knowledgeable staff.. Aside from my personal experience, Az Dog Smart Academy taught me valuable knowledge that I use every day in all canine situations. I look forward to continuing my education with upcoming events from Az Dog Sports.

I have been taking my 16 month old Boston Terrier to Arizona Dog Sports since he was a puppy. We started out in the puppy class and have moved up to level 4. The trainers have been wonderful. They have all been very patient and kind. They go the extra mile and really explain dog behavior and the in's and outs of correctly training our dogs. Toby, my Boston, looks forward to going to "school" as we call it and loves saying hello to everyone there especially his teacher Monica. He is now learning what agility is all about by learning how to run through the tunnel and over the frame. He loves it and so do I!!

Fantastic. I rescued my dog Sketch a year ago and wanted to train him so I could take him anywhere I wanted to go. After one year in various classes at AZ Dog Sports he has an AKC obedience title, his Canine Good Citizen Advanced title and competes in various other dog sports like Barn Hunt, Agility and Rally. The classes and training have built such a strong and respectful bond between Sketch and I. We have so much fun in training classes and dog sports I now see how an active dog is a happy dog.

Fantastic! Every trainer I have taken classes with gives their unique and fun way to train. Through training classes, my dog and I have bonded and I am now able to take him anywhere I go and he is well mannered. We have also participated in many dog sports that we learned about from Az Dog Sports - agility, rally, barn hunt and competition obedience. We are having so much fun and I realize how an active dog is a happy dog.

My dog, Cooper, and I have been coming to AZ Dog Sports for 8 or so months now. We started with puppy classes, as I wanted to introduce him to new dogs and new experiences. Our instructor was Lynn, and she's amazing. She was always thinking of new things to introduce the puppies to that were unfamiliar or made different sounds. She gave a lot of different training techniques and tricks because dogs are like people, and they all learn differently! I appreciate that the students could be different each class. A puppy could be graduating from puppy class during your first class. I love that this provided Cooper with more interactions and a little bit of a distraction to work on his focus. It worked great. We went on to complete not only the puppy class, but Obedience 1 and Obedience 2. We took the sampler class on Wednesday mornings, as this class is a little of this and a little of that. Coop loved this class because he was introduced to agility with Will and he was introduced to scent work with Jacqui. Jacqui taught a lot of really fun games to play with your dog. Our favorite to play at home is the scent game, especially when it's too hot to play outside. Our favorite class is definitely Agility. We began classes with Darcy in Agility 1, where Cooper was timid and hesitant with the weave poles and tunnel. Now he races through the weaves like he was born to do it. And the tunnel? All I have to do is say "tunnel!" and he runs across the room and zooms through it!! Darcy is so wonderful, so knowledgable. She is patient and introduces your dog to equipment in such a way that your dog becomes comfortable and decides "Oh, this is fun!! I'm doing it again!" Coop and I are now in multiple agility classes. I appreciate that Darcy gives us all individual pointers when we run based on our dog's running style. Everyone in class is supportive of each other, we cheer each other on, and get excited when the dog and handler get a run or a particular move correct. It really is a fun, positive environment, and Cooper absolutely loves going there, as do I. We went through a phase where he put his paws down and refused to leave after class--he just wanted to stay and run more courses. When we walk in for class, he stands on his hind legs to look over the counter, specifically for Deb. He gets super excited to see her and she always greets him with an excited: "How's my Super Cooper?!" This establishment is full of dog lovers who are there because they really want to see you and your dog succeed. Everyone is more than willing to answer questions and work with you and your dog on different issues. We are gym members, which is about $300 a month, and we can take unlimited classes. Cooper and I go to 3 classes a week!

Everything has been perfect.......as we continue.

I was looking to make a career change and desired to go into a dog related business. I enrolled in the Arizona Dog Smart Academy at AZ Dog Sports. The academy was taught by professional and knowledgeable trainers. The course covers all aspects of dog behavior and positive training. The hands on approach training with the dogs was fun and rewarding. I now have the foundation to start my own dog sitting/walking business.

I had just moved here from NC when I was looking for a training facility similar to what I had in NC.  I found AZ Dogs Sport and we haven't looked back.  We have the gym membership, so I can pick the classes and times around my schedule.  All of the trainers have been great with both of my dogs and we are trying different classes that I would probably not ever try if it would not have been offered by them.  

I come along way, so for me to come they must be good!!

We love all of our training sessions! Each instructor has a unique perspective and caters to each and every individual dog and situation! Our pups are more confident, they walk better on leash, and are more obedient! We are not only impressed with their progress, but so happy with the knowledge and tricks and obedience skills they have learned from AZ Dog Sports!!  We have learned that training with our pups is one of the best things we have done with them! It has even taught us how to respond to everyday life situations!  Learning the psychology behind our pets has given life a new perspective! Thank you AZ Dog Sports to opening our eyes to the pet education world!

We adopted a puppy and within a couple weeks thought we had gotten in over our heads having never had a dog before.  I called AZ Dog Sports and they sent a trainer out to our house to assess the situation.  Karen was amazing!  She helped us get over the fears we had and showed us ways to manage the new puppy in our home.  Over the first year of Daisy's life we had struggles, she was just being a stubborn puppy, but I wanted a perfect dog.  I went back and forth feeling like we should re-home her several times within that first year. But Karen, Monika and Layne all worked me through every issue, every time...and now we have a 3 year old dog who is the most amazing addition to our family!  She is still taking classes at AZ Dog Sports, 3 years later!  Thank you AZ Dog Sports!
