We love this place! They take amazing care of our dog every time. He comes home exhausted from playing all day, and we love the daily updates on their Instagram so we can see how he's doing!

We take our dog here for boarding services and we will never go anywhere else! It's like a camp for dogs and they spend the day out of a kennel (free range as I like to say) and get outdoor play time with tons of.water in the summer. The staff post pics of your dog on social media so you can see their happy face while you are off vacationing. The owner is a local Arizonian service dog trainer with years of experience and the trained staff loves the dogs as their own. They have group training classes and a doggie spa, this is really a one stop shop!

I have been bringing my dogs here to board for quite some time. As soon as I pull into the parking lot they get very excited and can't wait to get through the doors. They come home exhausted from fun and games. The longest they stayed was 11 days. I always enjoy seeing photos of them interacting with other dogs. The staff is very friendly and Nathan definitely cars about those in his charge. I would not board them anywhere else.

Boarded my 1yo GSP for 4 days and they were the best! He ran and played so much he's been mush since he got home. I never would have expected a GSP to get tired, but they got it done! Will be returning!

Staff is friendly and they take great care of my pup at a reasonable price! Their Mesa facility isn’t quite as nice as the chandler one was but still does the trick!

Our dog is a bit much and AZ Canine Center has been great at working with us on his training to make him a more acceptable member of society. We have also used them for boarding and daycare and have had no problems.

I called and scheduled leash training for my dog. I was told to show up at 2:15pm on the scheduled day. When I showed up along with one other person we were told I was given the incorrect time and that the class was actually at 8am.The front desk person was going to call Jessica and call us back in an hour. 3 days later and I still haven’t received a phone call to straighten this out or given an answer as to why I was given the wrong time. It’s a good thing you don’t pay in advance because I’d be one mad dog mom right about now. I doubt I’m going to pursue this any further. I don’t want to do business with a company who gives wrong times and doesn’t call potential customers back to fix a problem that was caused by them! I personally don’t recommend them for your needs.

Had my mother n laws dog there for a week for training. When we picked her up Nathan didnt have time to go over her training as he was busy w another client…understandable. He said call him to set up a time for him to come to our house to go over her training. Ive been calling for 3 months now! I have left several messages w no return text or call. At this point the dog needs training again as we have no idea what she was taught while there & she doesnt act any different than before! VERY DISAPPOINTING! Paid a lot of money all for nothing.

Great place to socialize and train your dog! He totally loves daycare here and starts whimpering in anticipation well before we even get to the parking lot! Dedicated staff and ownership here. Thank you Nathan for a great place to entrust my fur family!

They just 'get' dogs. The owners and employees are truly there for the love of the animal and completely understand the mindset that my dog is like an additional child- and I would guess is the case for all their clientele. There is a large outdoor space for the pooches to run and play! I would never take my dog to a daycare or to board unless there is outdoor space to run and play! Two thumbs up!

We have been customers of AZ Canine for a few months now. Our puppy has been through puppy training, stayed 4 nights during the holidays and regularly attends day care. This is a great team of enthusiastic individuals who really put great care into the dogs who stay on site.

Our dogs love it here! It's hands-down the best boarding center we've ever taken our dogs to. Nathan is awesome!

We boarded our 1 year old dog here (for 4 nights) for her first hboarding experience. The staff was friendly, but not exceptionally helpfull of interactive. Our dog is very scared if other dogs, so they kept her in the 'timid' group. She was pretty exhausted when we picked her up; but all they noted was that they had to separate her at times to "give her some rest". She didn't seem scared, so overall I supposenit was OK for the price.

I’m surprised by all of the good reviews. It’s those good reviews that made me choose this place for daycare, despite my reservations after our initial visit. Nobody was watching the dogs in the various kennels which concerned me. When I asked the owner about fights he stated the dogs don’t fight. Of course dogs fight? But, I figured he was the professional and knew how to run his business. Started bringing my lab & one morning during drop off she pulled hard on her leash which caused her to wretch. Owner told me she had kennel cough & he wouldn’t take her. I explained that she coughed/wretched in response to choking. He told me I could leave her, but she would be placed in a kennel all day. I took her home, had her evaluated & cleared for kennel cough. Took her back for daycare a week or so later & when I picked her up she peed in the lobby & was acting different, this definitely concerned me but I gave it another go & took her back the following week and she refused to get out of the car. I had a meeting that I had to attend or I would have never forced her to go inside. When I mentioned her fear to the owners wife upon pick up she said they are like kids & dont want to go to daycare sometimes. I wasn’t buying that. They brought her out & she peed in the lobby again. We’ve since found a fabulous daycare where she is excited to attend & happy when picked up.

Love this place! It’s acres of indoor and outdoor-organized play area for dogs. Our pup was super shy precious to going to their day care, but AZ Canine center provides all then socializing our dog needed. For the day care you just drop them off (no appointment) and pick them up by certain times. They provide overnight boarding, which we hve also done. They also do grooming and training. When your dog is there, they will post pics up on Instagram so you can see them playing throughout the day. Of course, they are extremely professional and organized-the dog are placed with other dogs of same temperament, ALL vaccines and health checks need to be up to date, and keep all the pups as happy as can be. When we pick up our dog, she looks as if she’s partied so hard! This place is a gem. I recommend it to all with fur babies. Even the occasional day care to get your dog out of the house!

My dog has such a blast here! Been using their day care service for over a year now. Very fairly priced, she always comes home tired and clean!

The Arizona Canine Center is a great place where you can bring your dog to do training ( that is what I am currently doing) or you can drop your dog off there for boarding ( although I do not recommend because the area they keep the boarding dogs smells bad). The staff seem very nice and are willing to help you when you need it. They are currently doing video dog lessons and will soon continue in person lessons.

I used to go there with my 2 dogs. Even when they where at a different location and under a different name. The place used to be clean, friendly and a great place. I loved that it was a one stop location. Grooming, daycare and training. BUT, the past few months have changed. I am unsure what has happened, but my dogs are afraid to go into the building, it smells bad like urine and they are now charging for the groomer to groom my dogs, but the groomer is not the person doing them. Especially when I asked the groomer why she didn't do the job she used to do and was told she was not the person who did my dogs. I can not take my babies there as long as it continues to go down hill. This place used to be one of the best places, but I will not recommend it any longer.

My dogs love spending time at the AZ Canine Center, where they're not kenneled ever. They come tired from playing and being trained. Thank you Nathan for your love of dogs!

This Resort is Very Large, can't tell by looking from the entrance off of Main St. All the streets are named after Airplanes. They have a very spacious Banquet area. Over all the resort was well maintained, manicured lawns and nicely trimmed bushes and trees. Landscape was Beautiful. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend people that are over 55 years of age to retire here or at the most Vacation during the winter and some holidays. Loved the place. I give it 4 1/2 stars!

Our dog has been going to AZ canine for 2 years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the love and care that he receives. Nathan and his team love what they do, and it shows. They can take our dog without much reservation and they are open 365 days a year, which is super convenient. My dog has epilepsy and they are always very watchful. I also like that the facility is clean and SMELLS clean. My dog also gets to be outside or inside, which is a big deal to me, cuz he loves the outdoors!

Great place to board your dog. My dog gets excited when we pull into the parking lot. They are very accommodating and friendly.

This is a place you can be assured your fur baby will be happy to go- and not miss you. With acres of grass to run, pools to wade in, a tennis ball machine, tons of fluffy beds with no kennels in site, it’s a dog’s dream. Little guys are grouped together so they won’t get run over by the big guys. And puppies have their own space. Run by a expert dog trainer with tons of certifications. And dogs can get bathed or fully groomed while you are away! My dogs love this place!

Super friendly. They are all about the dogs. We have used for years, our dog is always so happy when he is there and sometimes we are afraid he might not want to leave! :)

I take my dog here 2-3 days a week. He loves it! The people are nice and all know him. It's cage free, they will feed them lunch if you bring food. This is a great place!

I've been looking for a 24 hour place cage less with outdoor time and small dog separation. Also clean and caring. I do believe this is it! We leave May 21. Andy stays 2 weeks. I can give full report after that.

Don't let these high reviews fool you. Brought my dogs here and now all 3 are at the vet sick. You will be paying some high prices for them to watch the pups but even more money when you have to take them to the vet afterwards. Absolutely unacceptable

Love this place for my dog!!! They helped my rescue get comfortable socializing with other dogs. He is so excited to go and is exhausted when he comes home.

Everyone here is wonderful and our dog loves going as well. Many services are available, bath, grooming daily care, overnight boarding, and personal training. That is just a few that I have used, I do recommend them to everyone.
