About Us

April with graduating class

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 and we board up to 30 dogs per day in our boarding facility, 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!

Our Goals

To provide the best customer service possible.
To make each client delighted with their results
To promote a better understanding of dog behavior and in so doing help the community.

The entire focus of our training is to teach your dogs to obey regardless of what is going on around them.With that in mind we teach the dogs in a group setting with up to 30 other dogs and handlers and require the dogs attention at all times.
