Our Training Program

Who We Are

Our founder Louis W. Robinson, US Airforce Military Working Dog Handler/Trainer Supervisor and Lead trainer, created a dog training program for pet owners from the ground up. Only using the best, most effective techniques. We believe that the best way to teach a dog is to teach the owner to use a blend of positive,negative,and neutral reinforcement, creating a well-balanced dog. The dog will still be allowed to be a dog and maintain the desirable parts of his unique personality. Dog training will not make your dog a robot, but you will have the best dog possible with our guidance. We do Phoenix dog training with hand-picked techniques, ensuring the top results.

Our training program is unique because it utilizes both traditional and modern training techniques. It’s the best of both worlds and our programs are designed around teaching the owner. We never teach anyone to hit or abuse dogs! We love, care, and have respect for our canine companions. Try one of our training programs, and see how quickly behavioral issues disappear! Working with domestic pets is our specialty, so we can train your pet to be obedient and help you take them anywhere hassle-free. The best thing is seeing dogs who have always been on leashes, now off leash and obedient! Dogs and owners both get a kick out of seeing each other’s joy when they learn a new command without a leash.

There are two sides to dog training: positive-only and avoidance training. Both styles of training are useful, but neither one of these styles should be entilrely relied on. Positive-only training consists of voice tone, body positioning, praise, and food reward. We have found that only using the techniques from this type of training often produces less than desirable results, with the dog only performing if the reward is “good enough.” Avoidance training typically uses training tools like slip collars, choke chains, pinchers, and shock collars but not all dogs need those. There are several variations of these methods but the all rely on classical conditioning techniques, if an inexperienced or untrained person utilizes these tools incorrectly, the result could be a scared, timid dog, or even aggressive dog and can create a whole new set of issues. Every case is different, and there is no one size fits all solution. Let us help determine the best method for you,

Our personalized approach ensures that the training techniques used are tailored to each dog’s unique needs and personality. This individualized attention maximizes the effectiveness of the training and facilitates faster progress. In addition to obedience training, Robinson Dog Training also addresses common behavior problems such as leash pulling, jumping, and aggression. Their techniques focus on positive reinforcement and building a strong bond between the owner and the dog. understands the importance of ongoing support and follows up with clients to ensure long-lasting results. We provide resources and guidance to owners, enabling them to continue reinforcing the training principles even after the sessions are completed.

Client Testimonials

Custom Dog Training Program

We know great trainers have a thorough understanding of all styles of training and when to use them, and we do not focus on one specific style. This allows us to teach you when to use each style to provide the best results.

01

Build a strong bond

Proper training builds strong bonds. Basic obedience training is a must, to ensure a well balanced and happy life for your dog. You’ll love having the peace of mind, that comes with knowing how to train your dog. Having a well-behaved dog that follows directions and does what you ask is awesome!

02

Education for the Human

We believe that the most important part of the process is educating the owner. Once the owner is trained to communicate properly the dog will fall into line . Dogs should have a social structure with humans at the top to prevent confusion, stress, and other more serious behavioral issues. Our easy to understand communication techniques are so simple you will wish you had this understanding sooner. Creating a proper pack structure within your home is essential for your family and dog. We make dog training easy in Phoenix and across the valley!
