FirstBarkI’m so happy to say that I was able to get a positive experience sending my fur baby away for 3 weeks. I didn’t know how I would take it, but knowing the hands he was in, and the care and love being given to him without me there, was a relief. Desert Sky family took great care of my boy and delivered. 🤍

I am unsure . You would need to contact them . We did the full puppy boot camp I believe it was called 3 weeks training . And life training when we board she goes back into training rotation . It was a great experience hope this helps .

Cannot recommend enough, more than just a boarding and training! They CARE!

Vincent and Gail have gone above and beyond when caring for my dog Benny! As a wheelchair user, they trained him to be a service dog very thoroughly! It is remarkable the things they can do and he helps me so much. I’m so grateful. And then after training, when Benny had surgery for an outside issue, they took care of him and helped him heal for four weeks when I was unable to. Also, during this time he had his first birthday and they threw a little birthday celebration for him. I am very grateful for their knowledge, care, support, and trustworthiness. I highly recommend them

If I could give Desert Sky K9 a million stars I would. Gail and her team are exemplary in every way. I have used them for years for training and boarding of my Afghan Hounds. Gail even picked up my two hounds from my house when I called her from ER and kept them until I was out of hospital. I don’t know of any other dog business that would have been so compassionate. So, as I said, a million stars.🐾❤️🐾 I am updating this review. Everything above stands but , since I wrote it Mark Govoni passed and his and Gail’s son, trained by Mark, is now the main trainer. I still use their services for my Afghan Hounds and my friends. I cannot fault them in any way whatsoever. They are still the best, and kindest, Dog Training and Boarding facility in Arizona. They go above and beyond and , above all, they are kind and treat mine and my friends dogs as their own. You will not regret using them, nor will you have to worry about leaving your precious fur babies with them. As I said previously I would give them a million stars🐾❤️🐾
Gail and Vincent are great trainers and truly love the dogs they train. Our Snickers has learned how to walk on a leash, come when called, and more. You can even go back for refresher classes for free. They are now part of our extended family.
