Frequently Asked Questions

Some FAQs

2 reasons:

  1. We believe that our clients are our family! Your dogs stay at our home-facility with Mariano and his family. We accept very few dogs at a time to ensure a calm, clean, and orderly home (thanks to Emily!). We believe that this more natural and intimate setting is optimal for learning and minimizing the stress of a typical high-volume training facility. Comfort and safety come first!
  2. Because when it comes to training, we're the best in the valley! We have made a commitment to stay up to date on the best, most cutting-edge training techniques available. We're life-long students of dog training dedicated to mastering our craft.

Scheduling an evaluation is as easy as giving us a call!

Call us at (602) 207-8157

The evaluation costs $60

This nominal fee is to cover the our time and the sanitation of our training room.

If it is a travel evaluation there is an additional travel fee to cover time and travel. We often book out several days and sometimes weeks in advance. Therefore no call, no shows, or cancellation within 24 hours of our scheduled appointment time will result in forfeiture of the evaluation fee. 

Booking is as easy as texting us at 602-207-8157. We'll send you a simple booking link for you to choose a day and time at your convenience. Regular boarding reservations can still be requested through the client portal in Gingr.

For safety and good measure, all dogs must be current on the following vaccines prior to entering our facility: Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper/Parvo (usually labeled DAPP2).

We do not limit our training to any one training method or methodology. We utilize a wide variety of training techniques and tools to make sure we can help every dog that comes through our doors.

We make use of leashes, prong collars, slip leads, e-collars, toys, food, and much more. It depends on what will work best for you and your dog. To learn more be sure to check us out on social media @untameddogco and our podcast The Dog Trainer's Podcast.

For single lessons: We charge %100 at the time of booking to guarantee your spot on our calendar.

For lesson packages: The cost of the package is collected in one initial payment. Your package credits will then be attached to your Gingr profile and will be applied to each lesson as you book them to guarantee your spot on our calendar.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson please give us at least 48-hours notice. This gives us a chance to try to rebook that time slot and you will receive the lesson amount back to your CC or original form of payment. Package credits will be returned to your Gingr profile for future use.

A 50% deposit is required to reserve a board and train space. The other 50% is due before your dog goes home.

  • Board and train offers a quick, efficient, and economical solution to problem behaviors.

  • While some people have a great deal of time to dedicate to their dog’s training, yielding fair results, most people do not. Our trainers, having a great deal of practice and experience, can train your dog efficiently in a short period of time.

  • A board and train program is critical for any dog suffering from fear, aggression, or anxiety as these types of issues require a skilled hand to achieve successful results. While some people do chose to fix these issues on their own, we do not recommend it. Poor training can create very dangerous situations.

  • Board and train offers more exposure to the world. Our seasoned trainers can introduce your dog (the right way) to more people, dogs, places, and things in one week than most people can in months, thereby creating a calmer, more well-rounded pup overall.

  • In our board and train program, we do the heavy lifting training your dog. This allows you to focus on developing your skills as an owner to ensure that you can maintain what has been taught.

  • Our training programs include lessons while your dog is here with us. This gives owners a chance to not only visit, but also to work with their dogs as they progress through their training programs. Thus, allowing us to present info and begin your practice in a gradual and steady pace that is optimal for learning!

Mariano happily offers travel appointments. They will include a fee for each travel lesson. This fee applies to lessons up to a 30-mile distance.
