What Phoenix owners say

"Our 5 month old Poodle puppy was a nightmare in the house. My two young children were afraid to be around her until our first session with Bob. She spent the first 10 minutes screaming, I was mortified, and we hadn't even started using the ecollar yet! Bob was calm, in control, and just walked me through how to guide her with the leash. After 15 minutes she was walking in a perfect heel, sitting on command and SO much calmer. Her behavior in the house was the biggest win. It only took one session and my kids are no longer being jumped on and used as a chew toys. Our neighbors make comments about well trained she is and strangers stop us to ask about her training. The four weeks flew by and at 6 months old we can take her anywhere!"

"All American K9 Training has been incredible for our dog, and our trainer Bob was absolutely amazing. He was easy to talk to, patient, and very knowledgeable about dog training. From the very first session, he made us feel confident and supported. Our dog has grown so much, and we could not be more happy with the progress. The change from where he started to where he is now is truly impressive. We are so grateful for Bob and the care and expertise he brought to every session. We highly recommend All American K9 Training."

"We appreciate very much the training Sophie received from Bob! Sophie was having quite a bit of trouble on leash and reacting to her surroundings and within one to two sessions she was a changed dog! Moving forward I feel like she will be a joy to take on walks and we feel confident with everything she's learned. Thank you!!"

"We chose All-American K-9 because we know two families who have used them, and their dogs are very well behaved. We met with Bob after we had a phone interview with him about our puppy. The park where we met to have her training was a great place to meet and helped give real-life experiences while people participated in their various sports activities. Bob was available to contact in between training sessions which was great! Walks are now amazing compared to what we were experiencing before we met Bob. It has definitely made our everyday activities with her so much more enjoyable, and she's doing amazing when family and friends visit! We would highly recommend All-American K-9!"

"We rescued our 8 month old puppy Beaux and started having a lot of behavioral problems with him. He was pulling on the leash during walks so hard, very aggressive towards other dogs, chewing everything in the house, going into the kitchen sink and throwing dishes out of it (never in my life have I seen a dog do that) and we were defeated. We also didn't really feel that connection with him even after months of having him. It almost felt like someone else's dog was in our house. We were very patient and had tried training him ourselves but it seemed like nothing was working. After just one session with Bob, he was almost a completely different dog. The first session after bringing him home, we took him on a walk and he did not pull or bark at any other dog that walked by. The bad behaviors inside even started to get less and less as the sessions went on. He gained a lot of confidence and it was such a great bonding experience for my dog and I. Bob is an excellent trainer, very knowledgeable, and we could not recommend it enough! Beaux now walks right by my side when going anywhere and dogs hardly even phase him when we walk by. I also feel such a better connection with him that I never felt before! We cannot thank Bob enough!"

FAQ

Common questions

What can I expect training with All-American K-9?
Structured, results-driven training designed to create lasting change, not temporary obedience. We use a balanced approach that combines positive reinforcement for correct behavior and clear, FAIR corrections when needed. We train in real-world settings: around people, around other dogs, in public, with distractions, so your dog listens everywhere, not just at home.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, we offer a lifetime guarantee with ongoing support for as long as you own your dog. If you ever run into challenges after training, our lifetime support includes ongoing guidance, help reinforcing training, and the ability to schedule additional private lessons if needed.
Will this training work for my dog?
In almost every case, yes. Our system is built to work for dogs of all ages, breeds, and behavior types, from puppies to adult dogs with serious behavior problems. We've successfully trained thousands of Phoenix-area dogs, including stubborn breeds, rescues, and reactive dogs other trainers turned away.
Where are the private lessons held?
Our private lessons are held at a public park in North Phoenix near 35th Ave and Pinnacle Peak. We choose this environment intentionally to give your dog exposure to real-world distractions, so they learn to listen anywhere, not just at home.
What is a remote collar and is it safe?
A remote (e-collar) is a low-level communication tool that uses a stimulation similar to a TENS unit, not a shock. When introduced correctly, it's safe, humane, and effective. We condition the dog properly before any use, and the tool allows clear communication at a distance, even in busy environments.
Do you travel outside of Phoenix?
Yes. We offer private seminars and, for clients out of state, our Board & Train Program with assistance arranging shipping for your dog to and from Arizona.
