ABOUT US

  Meet Your Trainer 

Meet Your Trainer

For the past 30 years, I have had the pleasure of mentoring and guiding individuals on their unique dog training journeys. My love for dogs started at a young age and has grown into a lifelong passion. Over the years, I have trained Police K9s, their handlers, sport trainers with their competition dogs, everyday dog owners and their pets.


In my spare time, I enjoy training and competing with my own dogs in obedience and protection sports. This passion for dog training has taught me that every dog is unique and requires a personalized approach. My commitment to each dog and client is unwavering, and I take pride in seeing the progress each dog makes with every training session.


At Cave Creek K9 Training, you can trust that we come with the knowledge, experience, and patience to help guide you and your furry friend through just about anything you may be going through. We understand that training isn't just about teaching your dog new commands, but about building a strong bond between you and your companion. Contact us today to begin your journey towards a stronger bond with your four-legged friend.

Frequently asked questions

  • How much does dog training cost in Cave Creek?

    Pricing depends on the program and your dog's needs. We offer a free phone consultation so we can recommend the right option and give you clear pricing. Call (480) 935-8700.

  • What's the difference between board & train and private lessons?

    With board & train, your dog stays with us and is trained daily, then we coach you on keeping the results at home. Private lessons are one-on-one sessions where you learn to train your dog yourself, at home or at a convenient location.

  • Can you help with an aggressive or reactive dog?

    Our behavior consulting program is built for issues like leash reactivity, barking, jumping, and anxiety. We start with a free consultation and temperament test to understand the root cause before recommending a plan.

  • Do you board dogs in a kennel?

    No. Our in-home boarding means your dog stays in our home with structure, exercise, and continued training reinforcement.

  • What areas do you serve?

    We're based in Cave Creek and serve Carefree, North Scottsdale, Anthem, New River, Desert Hills, Paradise Valley, Glendale, Peoria, and the surrounding north Phoenix area.
