Private, in-home puppy training + Lifetime Access to our E-Learning Centers + Exceptional Canines proprietary methods (Phoenix & surrounding cities).
What you actually got is a land shark with zoomies… and a bladder the size of a raisin.
So your puppy doesn’t become a 75-lb “we need help” situation later.
We install calm structure early — while habits are still easy to shape.
Sit/Down/Stay is the part everyone sees. The real win is what your puppy learns when life gets weird and your house turns into a tiny circus.
Skills are the surface. Confidence, clarity, and recovery are the foundation. That’s how you get a dog who can handle real life without losing their mind.
The toggles below explain how development works, why phases matter, why pricing varies, what happens during adolescence, and how real-life proofing actually happens.
If you understand this section, you make smarter decisions. If you skip it, you guess.
The difference between building the system — and proofing reliability in real life.
We install language. We add structure. We introduce light, controlled distractions. Think: foundations and early structure — not chaos, not pressure, not real-world stress tests. These programs give your dog the tools… but they don’t pretend the job is finished yet.
Not in theory. Not in the living room. In real life. Unlimited runs on a 3-week rhythm for up to 6 months — but here’s the key: time does not advance the program. Proof does.
Let’s say we’re working on recall. Not “come in the backyard when nothing’s happening” — but real recall. Fido on a 60-foot long line. At a park. With smells, dogs, people, and life happening.
If it takes 4 weeks to proof that recall — meaning Fido turns and comes back to you 8 out of 10 times, calmly, without hesitation — then that’s what we work. We don’t rush it. We don’t stack the next behavior.
Our Jump Start Program • where learning actually begins
Think: kindergarten through early elementary (age, breed, maturity).
Not distraction. Not proofing. Just understanding.
Your puppy understands the rules of the world they live in — and how learning works inside your home. This sets the tone for everything that comes next.
Our Gold Standard Program • Includes Phase 1 Training
The foundation exists. Your puppy understands the language — now structure starts to matter outside the living room.
Not advanced obedience. Not high-pressure expectations. Just guided reps in the real world.
We prevent bad habits from getting loud by installing calm patterns early.
Your puppy can choose you when things are interesting — but not overwhelming. That choice is what makes Phase 3 possible.
6-Month Unlimited Training • Includes Phases 1–2–3
Not the kind that works when the house is quiet — the kind that works when life is happening.
Phase 3 only works because Phase 1 built clarity and Phase 2 added structure.
More environments, more maturity, more repetition — because that’s what creates reliability.
Your dog is reliable — not just trained. Reliable when things are calm. Reliable when things are chaotic. Reliable when it actually matters.
This program is for families who don’t want “it works most of the time.” They want a dog they can trust — in real life.
Guests, distractions, adolescence — all of it unraveled fast. What changed everything was the phased approach. Nothing felt rushed. Nothing felt forced. Each step actually made sense — for our dog and for us. Now our dog doesn’t just listen — he checks in. That’s the difference.
And why rushing it creates a hot mess
Pricing isn’t random — it reflects what your dog actually needs.
Queen Creek, Mesa, Chandler, East Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Fountain Hills, Goodyear, Buckeye, Surprise, Wickenburg, Prescott Valley, Dewey, Prescott, Sedona, Cottonwood, Cornville — and yes, even Flagstaff.
Travel time is time — and pricing reflects that clearly, calmly, and fairly.
The 3 E-Learning Center & Puppy Development Portals = $$$ and you'll have (Lifetime Access)
And the part clients quietly say, “Okay… this explains why it works.” Training doesn’t magically stick the moment I leave. Real learning happens in between sessions — when life gets loud, schedules fall apart, and your puppy suddenly acts like they’ve never met you before.
The After-Super-Session Portal Reinforcement videos, reminders, and structure tied directly to your session — so the plan doesn’t fade once I walk out the door.
The Advanced Learning Center For future challenges, treatment programs, behavior questions, and “okay… now what?” moments — even months or years down the road.
Shared intentionally — not public content, not generic advice. Access is for life. Not a subscription. Not a timer. Not “expires after X weeks.”
On its own, this level of support is easily worth hundreds of dollars. Here, it’s included — so you don’t just get sessions. You get support, context, and answers — now, later, and when life throws a curveball.
They wait.
They hope.
They “try a few things.”
And by six months… those cute habits aren’t so cute anymore.
Puppies don’t grow out of chaos. They grow into whatever gets repeated.
Not a Pinterest puppy. Not a “hope this works” program. A structured plan built around the breed you chose, the schedule you actually have, and the chaos currently happening in your kitchen.
Not sure yet? Start with a Super Session and see if we're a fit. We assess. We map the phase. We build correctly + give you a plan you can follow for 3-6 weeks.
By sliding into this page and hitting submit, you’re basically saying: “Yep, you can reach out to me.”
That might look like a text, a phone call, or a Zoom chat where we actually talk like humans about your goals and the questionnaire you filled out. Good news:
Just real conversations, real help, and a plan that actually makes sense.
