Offering Elite Dog Training and Care Services to Arizona’s West Valley

Many dog owners have consistent problems with their dogs solely because they don’t understand how to communicate to the dog what they want. Our goal is not only to teach you how to communicate with your dog in a way they understand, but, also to teach you what your dog is trying to communicate back to you. With those tools alone, you and your dog can face the world together, as a team. Located in Surprise, Arizona. Serving our canine community for almost 10 years

Reviews

This has been an absolute game-changer for us. We did an 8 week one-on-one program and it was absolutely amazing. Alyssa's expertise is top-notch, and she made sure we understood every step of the training process. She tailored the training to our dog's specific needs and patiently answered all of our questions. Her weekly notes were a fantastic touch, helping us reinforce what we learned during lessons. We can now easily walk dog without being pulled, feel confident taking him into crowds, walking with a stroller, and even going off leash. We have the tools needed to make day-to-day life easier and better. Honestly the best dog trainer I've been to and highly recommend for anyone wanting to make life with their dog better.

8 Week Off Leash Reliability

Alyssa seriously changed my dogs life. we went away for a couple of weeks and left him for her Board&Train but did 3 weeks of 1:1 lessons with her prior and she is truly one of the nicest and most down to earth people you will ever meet. she wants what is best for your dog & will listen to them based on what they need. she took my reactive, anxious, and slightly grumpy pup and turned him into a flourishing, confident and happy dog upon pick up. she goes over EVERYTHING you need to know and understands that while she can train your dog, you also need to know how to keep up with the training and teaches you! i have literally never connected the dots so quickly in a training session! i will only ever recommend Alyssa to friends now, her methodology and how she cares for her dogs (personal & clients) has gained a client for life. THANK YOU ALYSSA!

Alyssa, from Canyon State Canine has exceptional dog training skills. Louie, my Miniature schnauzer, had several behavioral issues, including biting, food aggression, and ignoring simple commands. Prior to working with Alyssa, I struggled to even put a leash on him, let alone walk him. From the moment, Alyssa started working with Louie, her calm and confident demeanor made an immediate impact within just 15 minutes, she had Louie walking on leash, a feat I thought was impossible. I had been told that by a previous trainer. Throughout the six weeks of one on one training, Alyssa not only addressed Louie’s behavioral issues, but also equipped me with the tools and confidence to effectively communicate with him. Her weekly notes were incredibly helpful and reinforcing the training we learned and she was always available to answer questions or provide guidance whenever needed. Thanks to Alyssa I now feel empowered to take Louie out and about, knowing that I can effectively manage his behavior. Alyssa truly is a dog whisperer and has made a significant positive impact on both Louie and myself.
