An Idaho Family Business
We treat every pet as if they were our very own family pet
Our website is under construction- please bear with us as we navigate this giant hassle!
Our business was started in 1993 by Will and Vivian Stoppel. It is now owned by their daughter April Stoppel Jantz as a full-time career and is the largest dog training school in Idaho, and one of the largest in the nation. We enjoy tremendous support from veterinarians, law enforcement officials, and humane societies of the Treasure Valley. Because our classes number 200 dogs per week we've been privileged to work over the years with thousands of dogs of all breeds-- huge dogs, aggressive dogs, sensitive dogs, rambunctious dogs, timid dogs, petrified dogs, abused dogs, young dogs and old dogs. We love them all and we welcome the chance to work with you and your special dog soon!
