Dog Training in Peoria, AZ

Peoria dog owners know that a well-trained dog makes life better for the whole family. Whether you are dealing with a puppy who chews everything in sight or an older dog who pulls on walks and barks at neighbors, professional training from That Dog Trainer can turn things around quickly. We serve Peoria and the surrounding West Valley from our base in Gilbert, AZ, bringing over a decade of hands-on experience to every session.

Why Peoria Families Trust That Dog Trainer

Peoria sits in one of the fastest-growing corridors in the Phoenix metro area. New neighborhoods, busy parks like Pioneer Community Park, and active trail systems along Lake Pleasant mean your dog encounters distractions daily. Our trainers build real-world reliability into every program so your dog listens at the trailhead, at the patio restaurant, and in your own backyard.

We use balanced, reward-based methods that respect your dog’s individual temperament. Every program starts with an honest assessment of your dog’s behavior, your goals, and your household routine. From there, we build a custom plan that fits your life.

Dog Training Services Available to Peoria Residents

Board and Train Programs: Your dog stays with our trainers for 4 to 8 weeks and receives daily, structured training sessions. This is our most popular option for Peoria families who want fast, lasting results. Learn more about our board and train packages.

Puppy Starter Program: Puppies thrive when they start learning early. Our 4 to 6 week immersive puppy program covers socialization, crate training, basic commands, and house manners. See our Puppy Starter Program details.

One-on-One Training: Private sessions focused on your specific challenges, from leash reactivity to recall to off-leash reliability. Perfect for dogs that need individual attention.

Behavior Modification: Aggression, anxiety, fear, and reactivity require specialized approaches. Our trainers have worked with hundreds of dogs displaying these behaviors and know how to create real change.

How Far is Peoria from Our Training Facility?

Peoria is approximately 40 minutes from our Gilbert training facility via the Loop 101 and Loop 202. Many Peoria clients choose our board and train programs because the distance makes daily sessions impractical. Your dog lives with our trainers, receives professional attention every day, and comes home with solid skills you can maintain easily.

What Peoria Dog Owners Can Expect

Training is not a one-size-fits-all process. A Labrador puppy in a Peoria subdivision needs different handling than an anxious rescue living near a busy intersection. We tailor every program to the dog in front of us. After training, you receive detailed handoff sessions so you know exactly how to maintain and build on your dog’s new skills.

Our clients in Peoria regularly tell us their dogs went from being a source of stress to being the best part of their day. That transformation is what drives us.
