Our Goodyear Dog Training Services

Goodyear dog owners seek training for a range of concerns, including puppies that need early foundations, adolescent dogs that pull on the leash, adult dogs with aggression or reactivity around other dogs, and dogs preparing for therapy dog testing. Available programs vary in their format, curriculum, equipment, and eligibility requirements.

Basic Obedience Training

Basic Obedience is a 4-week program with four private lessons. Your dog learns Come, Sit, Extended Sit, Down, Extended Down, Place, Extended Place, Loose Leash Heel, and Off. The program includes an e-collar and 15-foot leash.

This program may suit dog owners dealing with leash pulling, limited focus on walks, or difficulty getting a dog to respond outside the home. The curriculum includes foundational commands and distraction training. View the full Basic Obedience details.

Advanced Obedience: Basic + Advanced

Basic + Advanced is an 8-week program with eight private lessons. The first four sessions cover the full Basic Obedience curriculum. The final four sessions introduce extended-distance obedience, Heel, Watch, Through, Front, Stand, and other advanced commands. The program includes an e-collar and 15-foot leash.

For owners who want to progress beyond foundational obedience, this program adds advanced commands, extended-distance work, and additional distraction training. Program suitability depends on your dog’s current obedience, behavior, and training goals. See the Basic + Advanced program.

2 Week Board & Train

Your dog boards with a professional trainer for two weeks of immersive training. The program covers 6 guaranteed commands: Sit, Place, Heel, Down, one advanced command, and Off. It also includes full off-leash recall, work around multiple distractions in multiple environments, and greeting, door, and meal manners.

After completion, you receive a 2-hour one-on-one session explaining what your dog learned and how to handle the trained commands properly. The 2 Week Board & Train is listed with 100% Obedience w/ Lifetime Refreshers. Ask during your consultation for the current terms and scope of refresher support.

Major behavioral concerns such as dog or human aggression cannot be guaranteed through the standard 2 Week Board & Train. The team can explain whether an aggression-focused program may be more appropriate.

Aggressive Dog Training and Aggression Board & Train

Aggressive Dog Training is an 8-week private-lesson program for dogs showing aggression or reactivity around other dogs. It includes the Basic Obedience curriculum plus additional lessons working around other dogs in different scenarios, with an emphasis on owner control, appropriate handling, and desensitization.

For eligible dogs, the Aggression Board & Train combines two weeks of immersive training with four additional weekly lessons addressing aggression-related concerns. It includes 6 guaranteed commands, on-leash heel, work around distractions, manners training, an e-collar and training leash, and a 2-hour owner handoff session.

These programs are designed to help owners manage aggression and reactivity more effectively. The company states that fixes for major dog or human aggression cannot be guaranteed, so recommendations depend on the dog’s behavior history and individual needs.

Puppy Training and Therapy Dog Preparation

Puppy Training Consultations are available for puppies 5 months or younger. The consultation provides guidance on basic obedience foundations, house training, crate training, socialization, and questions about raising and training your puppy.

Therapy Dog Preparation is an 8-week, 8-lesson program that prepares you and your dog for therapy dog testing and certification. Upon successful completion, the team can evaluate and certify you and your dog through Therapy Pets Unlimited.

Basic Marker Mastery™ uses reward-based methods across four one-hour sessions. It introduces Come, Sit, Place, and loose-leash walking and includes a 15-foot leash, clicker, and OLK9 slip lead. This program does not use e-collars or prong collars.

Why Goodyear Chooses Off Leash K9 Training for Real-World Results

Practicing around relevant distractions can help a dog apply learned commands beyond a quiet training setting. Off Leash K9 Training programs vary in their format and curriculum, but options such as the 2 Week Board & Train include training around multiple distractions in multiple environments. This helps prepare dogs and owners to use their training during everyday activities in Goodyear.

  • Training around real distractions. Eligible programs include practice around dogs, people, and other everyday distractions so owners can work toward more reliable responses outside the home.
  • Methods matched to the selected program. Basic Obedience, Basic + Advanced, Board & Train, and aggression-focused programs use e-collar communication as described in their program details. Basic Marker Mastery™ is a separate reward-based option that uses marker and clicker training without an e-collar or prong collar.
  • Programs for different training goals. From puppy training consultations for puppies 5 months and younger to aggressive dog training for dogs with aggression or reactivity around other dogs, each program follows a defined curriculum.
  • Owner education, not just dog training. Private lessons involve direct work with owners, while Board & Train programs conclude with an owner handoff session. Trainers explain how to use the commands and equipment associated with the selected program so owners can continue practicing at home.
