Professional Dog Training and Behavior Modification
Our private dog training program in Phoenix is the easiest and most effective way to modify your dog’s behavior. You don’t have to put your dog in the car or take them out in public (a huge relief for some of our customers whose dogs have more severe behavior problems).

Meet your Dog Trainer
Hunter Witty—Professional Dog Trainer
Hunter’s love for dogs began when he was just a kid playing with the family’s Standard Poodle. As he grew older, he became a trusted dog walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors.
Hunter’s interest in dog training started with his rescue dog, Tyson, a large and dominant dog. He learned how necessary training is when helping a dog live his best life while ensuring the safety and comfort of family and friends in a difficult dog’s presence. Hunter knows the importance of patience when ridding a dog of old habits and incorporating new ones.
As a certified Canine Trade Group dog trainer, he is excited to pass on his knowledge to other dog owners and help them learn how to work together as a team in any environment. Hunter strongly believes working with and educating the owner is just as important as educating the dog. Owner involvement is essential to providing the consistency that a dog needs to excel.
A Premier Dog Training Experience
Not only do our certified in-home trainers commit to your dog’s training program from start to finish (rather than lesson by lesson), but we also use time-tested methods that have been in practice for over thirty years.
Canine Trade Group founder John Van Olden developed balanced, effective training methods based on in-depth research and practical experience, starting from his time training military police dogs.
