TESTIMONIALS
-"I would like to offer my perspective on the depth and breadth of skills and knowledge that Rich Fairclough of Perfect Pooch possesses in the area of dog behavior. I have a fairly extensive background in canine training. In my youth, I was a Military Working Dog handler in the United States Air Force. In my four year enlistment, I handled Patrol Dogs and Narcotics and Explosives Detector Dogs. My last year on active duty I was the training NCO for the Military Working Dog Section at my base. After I separated from the Air Force, I was hired as a dog handler and trainer for a Sheri ’s Department, where I trained K9 teams for several police agencies. Again, I think it is fair to say I have an above average grasp on the concepts of dog training. However, when faced with challenges with my own personal dog, Rich is the one that I turn to. His understanding of the canine psyche is unmatched in my experience, and understanding why a dog is behaving a certain way is the key to modifying that behavior. I give Rich my highest recommendation. If you need help with any aspect of obedience or behavior issues with your dog, there is no one better to help you than Rich Fairclough!"
Respectfully, Scott Parr
"Just in the first meeting, I learned some new techniques to use with my dog. These are things my previous trainer was not able to teach me in the 8 sessions I had with her. This gives me faith that I am on the right path with Richard!"
-Margie K.
"All good. Seriously, ALL GOOD! 2-hour session of tons of fully practical information, advice and hands-on training with our dog. I am pretty much a cheapskate. But the fee that Perfect Pooch charged me was worth every single penny, and I would do it again in a New York minute, it was that valuable to us."
-Dave C.
"Rich has been able to help us teach our 4 dogs what no one else has been able to accomplish!!!"
-Cathy K.
"Rich was great! Freddy was effectively shown who is "boss". His behavior modification is complete. We are working to reinforce all the good procedures Rich taught us. I highly recommend Rich to all dog owners who need help with solving their pooch's problems."
-Mike M.
aboutus
We are a small dog training company committed to enhancing the lives of dogs and their humans by empowering owners through education and training, helping them create their “Perfect Pooch.” Our approach focuses on improving a dog’s mental well-being by providing structured leadership that teaches them to be calm, relaxed, obedient, and confident wherever they are with their pack leader. We believe that every dog and their owner(s) deserves to feel happy and comfortable in their shared environment.
Founded in 2010, our business is proudly owned and operated by a recently retired Tempe Police Officer, Rich. We love all people and dogs for who they are, and strive to help them become the best version of themselves, both inside and outside their home.
