Ron Pace’s Canyon Crest K-9 Training Center is situated on five scenic acres in Tacoma, Washington. We are five minutes from the Tacoma Dome overlooking the Puyallup Valley. Our training grounds create the perfect setting for dog training. It is our primary goal to help the dogs and their owners achieve their maximum potential as either well behaved pets, or as working dogs. Ordinary people are doing great things with their dogs at our training facility. We invite you out to compare.

Ron Pace with Dogs Exploring Dog Training?
If you are exploring dog training for you and your dog you’re likely looking for a way to improve or enhance life with your pet. Now more than ever before we seem to have many varieties of experts to help us - "dog whisperers", "dog psychologists", "dog behaviorists", and "dog psychics" just to mention a few. We have over thirty years of experience teaching people how to train their dogs using a no nonsense approach (full of positive motivation). We provide you with the tools to communicate with your dog in order to build a loving, and respectful lifelong partnership.
It is Worth the Drive?
It’s not unusual to have any number of our clients at our facility that have traveled from North of Seattle, Port Orchard, Gig Harbor, Olympia or Portland. Because this training works, we are no longer a secret. We do understand that just as food based training is not for everyone our directional training is not either and that is why we highly recommend to those of you searching for the right coach to help you train your dog to explore as many training facilities you can before you commit your time and money to one or another. This way you will not be disappointed. Give us call when you are ready to visit. 253-926-9200
FRUSTRATED WITH YOUR DOG’S BEHAVIOR?
If you are frustrated with your dog barking, running away from you, chewing, digging, jumping, scratching at the door or showing aggression we can help you with your dog behavior problems. To those who struggle with obedience and lack of respect from their pets, their greatest obstacle may not be their dogs, it may be themselves.

Our mission

is to provide the ordinary dog owner a successful way of communicating to their dog by using positive, fair and humane methods of training. This in turn will create a happier dog, family and community.
