Spent $2175 for two weeks of boarding with Chris for training my four month old puppy. All training was based on treats and the only training my dog got was to SIT and STAY. I was asked for a list of what I wanted Chris to achieve but the list was completely ignored. Most of all I wanted my pup to understand NO. That never happened. In the two weeks I paid for, Chris was unable to do any training the first two days because my dog was not calm enough. he spent a full day away from the area so he could go sky diving and heavens knows how much of Chris's time was devoted to training in the remaining 11 days. I suspect little. Did my dog obey NO, nope. Did my dog stop BITING, nope. Was my dog even remotely HOUSE BROKEN, nope. Could he walk on a LEASH, nope. Get the picture! After two weeks Chris told me I would have spend more money on lots more training. Certainly not the message I got when I spent $2175 for the boarded training with him. This was the period when COVID was raging in the area at at least Chris and the owner of the company were not vaccinated. I saw the positive reviews but I've received really bad comments about this company from far, far more people.

I’ve taken two of my dogs through the Prescott Valley dog squad training! We’ve done the AKC puppy classes and the CGC canine good citizen class. They’re very patient with answering all my questions and help me so I can help my dog. Highly recommend!! I will be taking all my dogs here from now on.

We came to Prescott Valley Dog Squad a year and a half ago after having a disappointing experience with another trainer. My husband is legally blind, and needs a Service dog to help him with his mobility, balance and some guide dog work. However, my husband has never trained a dog before. Donna and her team have done a fantastic job of training both our dog and my husband! Our dog is now very close to completing the Service Dog program, and is a true asset to my husband. We are so grateful for all of the training and insights Prescott Valley Dog Squad has provided us.

This is a wonderful establishment. I have had all of my dogs trained through here. CHRIS STAUFFER is the best of the best. I have watched him turn so many abandoned and abused animals who are super aggressive and uneasy into the most loving and trusting pets. He is unfortunately dealing with some unruly neighbors and they are harassing him at his place of business with false accusations. I have known him and his family for years and he is a wonderful person and trainer. Truthfully, i wouldn’t trust my dogs with anyone else. My dogs have been boarded there many times when me and my fiancé go on trips. The home is so clean and he professionally cleans all kennels after each use! My dog is always excited to go, every time we pull up she sprints to the door. Please don’t let that distasteful comment discourage you from getting your loving pets the training they deserve. This place is truly amazing and so are each and every one of their trainers. They treat your animals like they are their own and with all the love and respect that they deserve.

WARNING TO ALL!!! Do not bring your loved pets to this establishment, One individual in particular is a animal abuser and is currently being investigated for animal abuse, Chris Stauffer(employee) you will no longer get away with this, all the residents in your area see and hear the abuse, I've seen the disgusting kennels you put loved pets in, your a disgrace to dog training and truly a bad person, I will make sure everyone knows what you guys are about, you are on camera abusing animals and will be prosecuted for such unacceptable behavior, police reports are being filed as we speak, just wanted everyone else to know don't bring your pets here!!!
