NWA School For Dogs

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.

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.

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

NWA School for Dogs has been a game changer for our reactive doodle! Especially after developing bad habits at a local doggy daycare then being asked to not come back due to said habits. School for Dogs are pros at teaching both me and my dog on how to keep him calm and well behaved. We use Shanthi anytime we need boarding as well!

We love the NWA School for dogs. I am a first time dog owner and was a bit overwhelmed wanting to “do the right thing” for my pup and family when we brought her home. We have completed multiple group classes which helped tremendously with socialization and helping me interact with/train pup, and she now goes to the day school for consistent training and fun! Her confidence (and mine) has improved so much and she absolutely loves going in to school. She gets to play, gets training sessions, and is looked after by a caring, well-trained and consistent staff. Highly recommend, especially to create and reinforce good habits in a safe and thoughtful environment.
