Top Dog Boarding and Private K9 Training - Gilbert, AZ
Our facility is made up of four air-conditioned buildings, including two 1,000 ft2 training rooms, a 1,500 ft 2 air conditioned boarding room, and a spacious home and office for the overnight staff.
The back yard features a walled acre lot to better simulate park-like environments, and the property is situated in your average neighborhood complete with chickens, horses, and other distractions owners might encounter on their walks.
We train with a philosophy centered on building tools of communication with our dogs, all of which are founded in science and proven by some of the top competitors in canine sports. This balanced approach gives us more than just sit and heel, it develops a symbiotic language with our pets where we can identify our expectations for new situations on the fly, and leads to greater harmony in the home and a better relationship with your beloved canine.
Our team is filled with highly dedicated animal lovers who are well trained at their jobs.
