Whether you’re looking for private training, socialization and enrichment, group classes, or therapy dog preparation, our programs are tailored to fit your lifestyle and your dog’s unique needs.
Keith brings a rare blend of corporate leadership, deep canine intuition, and professional training expertise to every session. Certified by the AKC and a graduate of AZ Dog Smart Academy, he’s known for his positive, respectful approach—and for his two Golden Retrievers, Piper and Sheldon, who often assist in training.
We don’t just train dogs—we help families thrive together.
Meet Keith Geissenberger — Dog Trainer. Leader. Whisperer.
After a successful career in the corporate world, I made the leap to pursue what brings me true fulfillment: helping dogs and their families thrive. Drawing on years of leadership experience and a natural connection with animals, I offer boutique, in-home dog training tailored to high-touch households in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Carefree, and Cave Creek.
Known by many simply as Keith the Dog Guy, I specialize in obedience and therapy dog training using positive reinforcement and a hybrid of traditional and modern techniques. My approach is personal, intuitive, and rooted in understanding both the dog and the human behind the leash.
Alongside my Golden Retrievers, Piper and Sheldon—my trusted training companions—I help transform everyday challenges into lasting, joyful bonds. Whether it’s excessive barking, leash pulling, anxiety, or just needing better communication, I provide calm, customized guidance that brings peace and balance back into your home.
My mission is simple: to elevate the relationship between dogs and their people. I work with a select number of clients, ensuring every family receives the attention and care they deserve—because your dog isn’t just a pet; they’re family.
If you're ready for a more connected, rewarding life with your dog, I’d love to meet you.
Let’s bring out the best in your dog—together.
