Dog Training in Chandler, AZ Since 2005
Board and Train, In Your Home, and At The Park doggy training. Over 7,000 dogs trained. A Miniature Schnauzer named P.J.

In-home training covers Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Mark Siebel -- OWNER & PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER DOGGIE STEPS, LLC. Mark Siebel, owner and lead trainer of DOGGIE STEPS DOG TRAINING, had his first dog at the age of 10. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, Mark knew from a young age that he had a natural affinity to dogs, “I could never walk by any dog without petting or communicating with it,” says Mark He now has 3 Australian Shepherds. DOGGIE STEPS leashed its first dog in 2005. 17 years later, over 6000 satisfied K’9’s and customers alike have experienced the pleasures of a “calm-submissive” dog. The goal has always been to show owners how to properly integrate their dog into the home setting. Consulting on what breed of dog to buy, where to buy/rescue from, preparing your home for your new puppy and health/nutrition are just a few ways DOGGIE STEPS helps its customers. The whole family unit is encouraged to participate in training, especially kids, enabling them with leadership skills, confidence, and increased self-esteem. “It’s nice to see kids take ownership of the positive results that come from the training of their dog”, says Mark. Positive reinforcement, deep voice tone/frequencies, strong body posture, and consistency have all been successful training tools in the DOGGIE STEPS dog training classes. Mark takes each dog’s challenges on an individual basis, and tailors each training session to address that challenge. No two dogs OR humans are exactly alike, and some training methods must be creatively developed to solve certain dog behaviors. A Good Dog = A Trained Owner

Best Chandler dog Board and Train. What Every Board and Train Program Covers
Every Board and Train stay with Mark Siebel works through this same list, whether your dog is with Mark for one week or two.

What changes is pace, not curriculum. A dog that already knows a few basics might move through commands faster and spend more of the stay on leash work and socializing, while a dog starting from zero spends more time on repetition and potty training.

Mark adjusts the order and the time spent on each piece to fit your dog specifically, not a fixed script, but every stay covers all five pieces before your dog comes home. -link in comments-

New post: What Reactive Dog Training Means and What Helps in Chandler AZ. Reactive gets confused with aggressive all the time, and they are different things. Most reactive behavior, the lunging, barking, and freezing on leash, comes from fear or overstimulation. I walk through what helps: finding the specific trigger, building distance, and rewarding calm a little closer each time. Progress looks like a dog that notices a trigger, checks in with you, and settles faster than it used to. I also cover why rushing the process backfires and what a realistic timeline looks like. Twenty one years and over 7,000 dogs in, this is some of the most common work I do. -link in comments-

Who offers dog Board and Train in Chandler, AZ? How Board and Train Works at Doggie Steps

Your dog stays with Mark Siebel, in his home, for one week or two. Not a kennel, not a rotating staff. Mark trains every dog himself, which is why he only takes 3 to 4 training clients at a time and boards up to 7 dogs at once. That ratio is intentional. It is how a dog actually learns a routine instead of just surviving a facility.

Mark runs about 4 to 5 Board and Train dogs a month right now, with a goal of narrowing that further to 2 to 3 a month so each dog gets more of his direct time, not less. Customers receive DAILY updates with dogs progress, pictures and videos. -link in comments-

New page is live: Aggressive and Anxious Dog Training in Chandler and the Phoenix area. This is where I spend most of my time. About half my caseload across 21 years has been aggression or anxiety, including dogs with a real bite history. There are two ways to work through it, Board and Train or In-Home Dog Training, and both start by finding the actual trigger, whether that is another dog, a stranger at the door, or resource guarding. Positive reinforcement only, with verbal and hand signal commands. No shock collars. No choke chains. I typically work with 3 to 4 training clients at a time, so every dog gets real attention. See how it works and what it costs. - link in comments-

New post: How Long Does Puppy Potty Training Take in Chandler AZ? Straight answer, most puppies need 4 to 6 months, some closer to a year, especially smaller breeds with smaller bladders. Anyone promising a fully trained puppy in 5 days is selling you a marketing myth, not a realistic timeline. I break down what actually determines the timeline, age, breed, consistency, and prior habits, and how a week of Board and Train builds the foundation and routine that gets a puppy there faster once it's home. Roughly half of every Board and Train stay involves potty training work, and I've walked hundreds of Chandler puppies through this exact timeline since 2005. -LINK in comments-
