About Tucson K-9 Learning Center

Tucson K-9 Learning Center provides comprehensive dog training at a five-acre ranch in Tucson, Arizona. The center specializes in two-week board-and-train programs, basic and advanced obedience, behavior modification, puppy development, off-leash training, protection dog training, therapy dog training, service dog training, scent detection, narcotics detection, and rattlesnake avoidance training. Training methods are modeled after military working-dog techniques and use physical and verbal praise rather than treats, clickers, or e-collars. The two-week board-and-train program includes three private follow-up instruction sessions after pickup.

We were fortunate to find Steve with Tucson K-9 when looking for training help when we adopted our very first Malinios, Kanga, about 3 years ago. Steve's experience and knowledge of this breed was incredible! Kanga learned basic obedience commands in 2 weeks through their training/boarding program. Upon completion of her training, My husband and I were then trained so we could continue the ongoing process at home. There were even follow up training sessions after the 2 weeks for rattlesnake and toad avoidance. This gave us such peace of mind! End result, Kanga is a well behaved Mali who now performs commands off leash! In addition to training we have also boarded Kanga with Tucson K-9 on many occasions. Thank you Steve for all the much needed worry-free vacations! We knew our girl was in the best hands! We had such a wonderful experience and amazing guidance and support from Tucson K-9 that we adopted another Mali about a year and a half ago! We would not have survived as first time or second time mali owners without Steve and his wonderful better half! As for training high energy breeds or any dog, we highly recommend Tucson K-9!

Love Tucson K-9 Learning center. My girl came to me with good manners and basic obedience. She has been a guest of the ranch several times and gets top tier treatment every time.

Steve took our baby girl and transformed her in a few weeks. She became my husband’s service dog and a few years later- with no further training or reinforcement (we moved to Florida) she is still doing pretty well! She even loves her crate which is a blessing. We leave the door open and she goes in it to sleep sometimes. He and his wife did a great job.

Did the puppy boot camp and was well worth it to get started for the puppy. We have a temperamental Cane Corso and he did excellent. The whole team is super sweet and approachable.

Took my dog for their 2-week training. She is much more well behaved and less anxious. Walks like a dream! Appreciated the snake avoidance training too!!!
