Brenda is a very thoughtful, kind, and experienced instructor. Her teachings are centered on positive reinforcement, and she has lots of great tips on how to motivate and reward your dog with treats, toys, and movement. She does a nice job managing her classes, ensuring that everyone is safe and has a good time. The facility is very well-kept and clean, with separate entrance and exit doors to prevent unwanted dog interactions. A great option for dog training in the Phoenix area!

Brenda is kind and compassionate. I have never met anyone who is more passionate about their work. She genuinely wants to help her clients and their dogs be the best they can be. Brenda goes out of her way to help, she stays later after class for guidance and questions, and she frequently drops a line to check in on progress. I cannot recommend Brenda enough. I have had private and group classes with her, and I will always go back to Brenda for continued training. Thank you Brenda!! Our Lefty is a better dog because of you. :)

Brenda made training your pup so much fun. She is an expert but she teaches in a down to earth manner and will meet you where you are. Mabel and I enjoyed the class very much. I highly recommend Foothills Canine Academy.

Molly and I loved the Engagement class and we both learned so much and had fun doing it. The set up at Foothills Canine Academy is the best I've seen and Brenda has so much compassion for the dogs and humans. If I hadn't moved out of the area I would continue taking classes there for sure.
