Major dog or human aggression cannot be guaranteed to be completely corrected through either aggression-focused program. Owners should provide the dog’s complete behavior and bite history so the team can discuss eligibility and realistic goals.

Therapy Dog Preparation

Therapy Dog Preparation includes eight weekly lessons. It is designed to help dogs and handlers prepare for therapy dog testing and certification.

Training focuses on obedience, manners, handler communication, and reliability around distractions. Upon successful completion, the Phoenix team states that it can evaluate and certify the owner and dog through Therapy Pets Unlimited.

Evaluation and certification depend on successful program completion and satisfaction of the applicable assessment requirements.

Prices and program details may change, so review the current plans and pricing or request a consultation before enrolling. Guarantee language applies only where stated in the selected program’s published terms.

How quickly will I see results from training?

Training timelines depend on the selected program and the individual dog. Basic Obedience includes four private lessons across four weeks, while Basic + Advanced includes eight lessons. The standard and puppy Board & Train programs each provide two weeks of immersive training.

Aggressive Dog Training includes eight lessons, while Aggression Board & Train includes two weeks of immersive training plus four additional weekly lessons. Improvement within a specific timeframe cannot be guaranteed, and continued owner practice remains important.

Do you work with aggressive or reactive dogs?

Yes. The Phoenix site lists an eight-week private program for aggression or reactivity around other dogs and an Aggression Board & Train for eligible dogs.

The private program includes Basic Obedience and additional work around other dogs in different scenarios. Complete correction of major dog or human aggression cannot be guaranteed. Disclose the dog’s complete behavioral and bite history before enrolling.

What makes off-leash training different from basic obedience?

Basic obedience establishes foundational commands and handling skills. Eligible off-leash programs add recall, on- and off-leash heel, and structured work around distractions in multiple environments.

Off-leash training does not override local leash rules or property-specific requirements. Owners remain responsible for following applicable laws and posted regulations.
