Cave Creek K9 Training

We had an excellent experience with Cave Creek K-9 Training. Rod worked with our 8-month-old dog for three weeks, and the transformation was incredible—he came back leash trained and consistently following commands. Rodd clearly cares about the dogs and treated ours very well—our dog absolutely loved him. At pickup, he took his time walking us through everything without rushing, and even followed up a week later to reinforce the training. He was patient, thorough, and great to work with. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality dog training.

Rod was the best! He had my 16 month german shepard/golden retriever mix for 3 weeks and did wonders with him! My main focus was for reactivity with other dogs and pulling on the leash. Saint came back with so much more than that, his behaviour and obedience completely changed for the better, and now I am no longer anxious about going on walks and coming across other dogs. He walks so much better like he’s a new dog on a leash, it’s incredible. He’s been doing so well when face to face with other dogs and I would have never been able to do it without Rod and his team! Thank you so much!!

This is my reactive dog Hazel. Walks were a very stressful experience for both of us for a long time. Hazel was very reactive to other dogs which made walking with very stressful. I was always watching around corners and trying to avoid other dogs all together. One day I decided I was tired or being stressed and embarrassed, so I reached out to Rodd at Cave Creek K9 training. I started his private lesson program and the by the first lesson I could already see the difference in Hazel. She was excited to learn and every morning she looked forward to her lessons. I was so happy to see her enjoying these lessons. He was able to offer me appropriate corrections for Hazel and tools I could use to keep her focus and calm. He was able to bring other dogs to help her practice and was available for any questions I had about Hazel outside of the private lessons. Hazel isn’t perfect but I know with Rodd’s training I can get her pretty close. Enjoy the picture of Hazel on a boulder!
