About Our Business
Hello, my name is Roger Nelson, local
owner/operator of Green Valley Canine. I
am a certified dog trainer and a member of
the International Association of Canine
Professionals. Both myself and my wife,
Helaine, are AKC certified Canine Good
Citizen Evaluators.
We believe that a successful relationship
between a dog and their owner consists of
four main elements: exercise, leadership,
obedience training and socialization. Our
training incorporates all four of these
elements. We use dog psychology and
positive reinforcement to promote a dog's
willingness to learn.
We also conduct private and/or group
rattlesnake avoidance training sessions.
Rattlesnakes are prevalent in Arizona and it is
important that your dog is trained to fear them.
If you are interested in having your dog visit
residents in local nursing and assisted living
facilities, we partner with the Green Valley
Animal League to evaluate your dog's
temperament and conduct the Canine Good
Citizen Testing. In addition, we offer dog
walking and pet sitting services.

| After our sweet lap dog died, my husband and I decided we needed a change and adopted a mixed breed dog we called Princess. What we did not know is that she was a runner, jumper and a "mighty hunter," making her a real challenge for a couple advancing in years. We were just about ready to return her to the animal shelter when I decided to call Green Valley Canine and ask for some serious training. What we found out is that a professional trainer and a loving dog (even though a high spirited one) together can make a huge difference in behavior. Roger Nelson is a wonder! In just three sessions, Roger was able to train Princess to respond to basic commands. I was also in training and I learned to remain calm and assertive and Princess responded just like a champ. I highly recommend Roger Nelson. He worked magic with Princess. She is now a happy member of our family and just a few months ago, we were ready to give her up. Great job Roger!!
