Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Is there a way to train a dog not to attack other dogs or cats cause I want to bring my dog inside but she attacks other dogs and cats
This can normally be addressed, but you will need to contact NWA School directly to set something up. Messages here go to the people who have been to the school- it's fantastic by the way. Highly recommend.

Hi! My Dog is a 7 month mini Dachshund And he has an issue with bitting everything and peeing everywhere... Do you think u can help me?
Hi MaKolein, yes we can help. At 7 months most pups have learned to relieve themselves outside. , I have found that it does take a little more than just trying to show him where he's supposed to relieve himself at this age. Also, at 7 months they're past the puppy stage of nipping and biting so I would say it's time to evaluate your puppies biting and come up with a plan to change that behavior. You can call us at 479-301-5027 and we can set up an appointment to help resolve both of those issues. Feel free to check out our website www.nwaschoolfordogs.com

Boomer and I had a great experience in Manners 101. They really helped us make progress. Boomer tends to get overexcited around other dogs. They set up a space where he could see the other dogs in class for brief moments, then retreat and calm down. The lessons were so helpful, and the instructor was great.

Exceptional Training and Care! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Northwest Arkansas School for Dogs! The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping dogs and their owners succeed. Oliver started his training when he was 12 weeks old, and over three and a half years later, he still loves going to school. We adopted another dog from the Fayetteville Animal Shelter last summer, and NWA School for Dogs was our top choice for Ellie’s training. The trainers are incredibly skilled and patient, and they understand both of our dogs’ unique personalities and needs. At five months old, Ellie was very fearful and suffering from an extreme lack of confidence when we adopted her from the shelter, but the trainers’ positive reinforcement methods quickly built her self-confidence, and we saw noticeable improvements in her attitude and behavior within just a few sessions. The facility is clean, well-organized, and clearly designed with dogs' safety and comfort in mind. It's obvious that everyone truly cares about the animals they work with. Whether you're looking for basic obedience training, behavior modification, or just want to give your dog some structure and socialization, I highly recommend Northwest Arkansas School for Dogs. They've made such a positive difference for our family, and we're grateful for their expertise and dedication!

I enrolled two young impulsive toy golden doodles in obedience training once they were fully vaccinated. These two love everyone. They love going to school and they love the staff. They play nicely with other dogs and spent about 18 months in training two days a week. I continued with day care one day a week for about a year and now they go as needed. The staff is great about working on specific commands when they’re in daycare and need a refresher!
