About Us

TLC K9 Academy is the Phoenix dog training academy owned and operated by Harvard-trained Applied Animal Behaviorist Bill Glatzel. An internationally renowned expert on severe dog aggression, fears, phobias and anxieties and a committed student of dog behavior, Bill’s years of study and hands-on experience training dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages led him to develop the TLC Magic Touch™ approach to dog obedience training. His dog training courses are based on the true science of canine learning theory, and promise rapid results in a fraction of the time and effort required by most other Phoenix dog trainers.

Canine training and puppy training need not be stressful for the dog involved, and should be a positive experience based on a true understanding of dog behavior theory. Bill and his staff are off-leash training experts whose low stress approach to training has yielded magnificent results. The joy that you derive from your relationship with your dog is something that grows even deeper and more profound when your dog is behaving obediently, and when you know how to elicit that behavior from your furry friend. TLC K9 Academy offers:

There are many opinions on how to train a dog, but results are what matters. As one of the industry’s most acclaimed dog trainers and students of canine behavior, Bill Glatzel is in a unique position to engender the best possible behavior in your dog and a peaceful and happy existence for the two of you.

If you are considering retaining a dog trainer, I believe you could do no better than TLC K9 Academy. I strongly (No. STRONGLY!) Recommend their services. They really are "Gurus"!!! -John Norton
