NWA School For Dogs

If you’re even thinking about dog training, stop looking and go to School for Dogs. Shanti and Fed have been absolutely incredible. We brought home a 6-month-old puppy who had endless energy and quickly realized we were in over our heads. We wanted to set him up for success, but we also wanted to make sure we were training him the right way. From day one, Shanti and Fed made us feel supported, never judged, and gave us practical advice that actually worked. What meant the most to us was that they didn’t just focus on our puppy, they focused on our whole family. We already had another dog at home, and introducing a new puppy wasn’t as easy as we had hoped. Shanti spent so much time helping us understand both dogs, teaching us how to build positive interactions, and giving us the confidence to navigate the transition. Thanks to her, they have formed such a great relationship, and we honestly don’t know where we’d be without her guidance. Every class was fun, engaging, and tailored to what our puppy needed. They explain the “why” behind everything, which made it so much easier to continue training at home. The progress we’ve seen has been amazing, not just in our puppy’s behavior,

6 years out from my time with NWA School for Dogs and it is still the best investment I made! My dog’s training allows us to do all kinds of fun activities safely and with peace of mind knowing that we are a team and my sweet girl has the skills and training to listen to me. Can’t recommend working with this team enough.

Exceptional Training and Care! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Northwest Arkansas School for Dogs! The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping dogs and their owners succeed. Oliver started his training when he was 12 weeks old, and over three and a half years later, he still loves going to school. We adopted another dog from the Fayetteville Animal Shelter last summer, and NWA School for Dogs was our top choice for Ellie’s training. The trainers are incredibly skilled and patient, and they understand both of our dogs’ unique personalities and needs. At five months old, Ellie was very fearful and suffering from an extreme lack of confidence when we adopted her from the shelter, but the trainers’ positive reinforcement methods quickly built her self-confidence, and we saw noticeable improvements in her attitude and behavior within just a few sessions. The facility is clean, well-organized, and clearly designed with dogs' safety and comfort in mind. It's obvious that everyone truly cares about the animals they work with. Whether you're looking for basic obedience training, behavior modification, or just want to give your dog some structu

I enrolled two young impulsive toy golden doodles in obedience training once they were fully vaccinated. These two love everyone. They love going to school and they love the staff. They play nicely with other dogs and spent about 18 months in training two days a week. I continued with day care one day a week for about a year and now they go as needed. The staff is great about working on specific commands when they’re in daycare and need a refresher!

School for Dogs was immensely helpful to my dog, Zina. Zina is a pitbull with a traumatic and abusive past who I adopted. She had previously been kicked out of doggie daycare prior to School for Dogs. She now, once a week, is able to participate in doggie daycare, at a new location, due to all the previous efforts by Shanti and her team. I am so thankful for them and would highly recommend School for Dogs. I've attached pictures of Zina getting a long with a group of other dogs and behaving. This would not be the case had Zina not spent a year and a half at School for Dogs.
