Dog Training
Gilbert, AZ
Hodge Canine is a dog training company specializing in reactive dogs, led by Joe, a former Army K9 handler with over a decade of canine experience. They offer private lessons, board & train programs (2-6 weeks), and custom training plans tailored to individual dogs and families. Their philosophy emphasizes building healthy relationships between dogs and handlers through clear communication, understanding behavior, and making training feel like play rather than punishment—especially for dogs with aggression, fear, or reactivity issues.
Ideal for: Reactive dog owners, families with fearful or aggressive dogs, owners seeking long-term behavioral change, people who have struggled with other trainers
Service area: Phoenix East Valley and surrounding metro area
Military-trained handler: Joe is a former Army Ranger and K9 handler with advanced certifications from Animal Behavior College, American K-9 Interdiction, and the NePoPo® System Gold School.
Specializes in reactive dogs: Hodge Canine focuses specifically on dogs with aggression, fear, and reactivity issues—cases that require deeper understanding of behavior and education-first approach rather than surface-level obedience.
Immersive board & train programs: Dogs live and train in-home for 2, 4, or 6 weeks with personalized plans, followed by transfer lessons to ensure owners can maintain progress at home.
