Absolutely living our dream these days. Being able to train 7 days a week in a climate controlled facility complete with an indoor dog park to promote socialization on leash and off.

The program, the consistency of our results, the success that our owners go on to have, and a Best of the Valley win for our trainers and facilities. I couldn't be more proud of us and all the dogs we see on a weekly basis.

Private sessions, group classes, board and train. Whatever you need, we can help!

Meet Jack, the adorable Cattle Dog who is currently in our board and train program! One of the perks for our board and train dogs is that they get to join in on our group classes to work on distraction, socialization and engagement. Jack has been here for a week and can now hold a long sit-stay around others!

If you want to learn more about our board and train program, email us at [email protected] and a trainer will reach out to assist you.

All our adorable pups hanging out with their new friends who are here this week for boarding!

Don’t forget we have a 72 hour cancellation policy. So all boardings must be canceled 72 hours PRIOR to the start date to not be charged a fee! We have a lot of families on the waitlist that we would love to give to a spot to if you cannot make it!

We are currently full from July 2nd-6th. We are also NOT doing meet and greets from July 1-7th!

We are so excited to take care of your precious babies!!

Boarding FAQs:

1. You only need to bring their food, any meds, and a blanket (optional)

2. A meet and greet must be completed before the first day of their boarding

3. Drop off is any time between 7am-8pm

4. Pick up after 12 on the final day results in an extra daycare fee!

5. All boarding dogs get a bath before going home!

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved staff dog, Rogue. Rogue was only 3 when she developed aspiration pneumonia at home last Wednesday. Rogue and her mom fought as hard as they could but Rogue lost her battle this morning. Losing a dog from our pack will never get easier. Maddie and Rogue were going to head off to training school soon. They were a match born for each other. Rogue was silly and fun but she was also serious and feisty. She would do anything for Maddie, just as Maddie would for her.

Maddie spent $10,000 between 3 different vets trying to get Rogue the best possible care. Rogue was hospitalized for a total of 5 days. Before she passed, Maddie made a gofundme to help with the costs of trying to save Rogue’s life. Despite her passing, we want to turn to our Pack and ask that you donate if you can to help Maddie pay back the vets. We have linked the gofundme below. Please share if you are unable to donate.

Please keep Maddie in your thoughts ❤️

The bond between a pet and a human is a sacred one, and when a pet is gone, a part of us goes with them. Dexter has crossed over the rainbow bridge and we would like to share some photos of him as we remember him.

Dexter was always so quick to show affection towards his furry friends and staff. He leaves behind so many beautiful memories for everyone! Dexter made sure to announce his presence when he came in and always barked the loudest. Dexter and his brother Louis were inseparable and loved playing games together and of course always involving other puppers in the group.

He was constantly making staff laugh and we will dearly miss all his little antics and wiggly butt. Most importantly Dexter was a great companion to his mother, to his brother Louis, and great friend to all the little ones at Mak Pack.

Dexter will forever be missed but will always be remembered by everyone at Mak Pack.
Let's all give our furry ones an extra hug today!

Solid session at the park this am! Something I wish more owners would understand is that fixing issues at home, means less issues in public.

Fixing issues on leash, leads to better behavior off leash. People often get so fixated on context, geography, and specifics. That often times we fail to recognize that the behaviors are all connected in a loop!

Are you kidding? Look at these faces!

All these cute pups are here to tell you that both Tempe and Chandler are FULL for 4th of July boarding! Be sure to ask to go on the waitlist as plans change and we do get cancellations!

Say hello to all our Bostons at our Boston tea party! We love having little events like this at our indoor park where our furry families can get away from the heat and enjoy time socializing with their friends!

This is a big component in our training as well as our park is an essential tool in coaching healthy playtime interactions. Did you know that our park is included on days you have class!? If you are interested in getting training started, send an email to [email protected] and our training team will connect with you!

Our foster Zoe is in desperate need of an adopter or new foster. Zoe has been with us for quite some time and she is no longer doing well in a boarding setting 😞 poor Zoe is sad and we cannot seem to snap her out of it. She is a ~10 month old pup who was rescued from a graveyard in Mexico. She is about fully grown and as you can tell, she is not very big. We urge you to share to family and friends so we can find her a more suitable place for her mental health! Being in boarding with all your friends is fun at first but after a few months it can weigh on them 💔

Love getting updates from our friends and clients like this! Names blurred for privacy, but here is a dog, raised as a puppy by the owner/handler.

Trained through our classes, from Puppy through to Public Access. Loaded task work, and a solid, real life alert happened yesterday!

This is why we train. This is why we continue to do what we do. Dog Training matters. And done properly, significantly improves the quality of life for owner and dog!

Today we say goodbye to our dear friend, Dunkin, who many of you may know from the dog park or from your dogs pupdates! Dunkin is headed to California to be a “long walks on the beach” kind of man! We are so happy for him but we will miss him dearly. Dunkin has been coming since the start of our journey here in Chandler. He has watched us grow, tear down walls, build up walls, and so much more! The fun fact most people don’t know about Dunkin is that he is deaf! We would still have long conversations with him daily because he was great at just staring into your eyes regardless of what you were saying, he never argued!

His dad was also the sweetest man who always greeted our staff with kindness and a smile. We will miss you too Jeffrey! Send photos and videos of our sweet boy bounding on the beach!!

The holiday boarders are pouring in! We are so excited to see all our boarding babies!! Please be patient with staff as we tend to get multiple dogs dropping off at once and we take our time to ensure we are getting all accurate and current information! A couple very important reminders if you do daycare with us:

Daycare will be LIMITED 5/24 through Memorial Day. We will keep daycare open as long as we can but closures may happen as keeping safe numbers is important to us!

We will not be doing meet and greets 5/24 through Memorial Day! Doing meet and greet for first time pups when we are at peak numbers is not ideal conditions! That is why we shut it down during holidays. We want your dog comfortable when coming for the first time!

Please check our story and most recent social media posts to see any updates about closures!

Closures do not apply to VIP ( 30 day, Diamond, or platinum)

This all applies to BOTH locations.

Our training program in Chandler is the pawfect place for pups to get some exercise and socialization while learning new skills! Our indoor park is a great spot during the heat to join other like-minded owners looking to keep up their pups exposure during these hot summer months when most pups are stuck inside!

Our Story

Spencer's Dog Training journey started at a young age in Vancouver, BC. He had the privilege to work alongside Trainers and Behaviorists at a Hunting dog academy. Spencer championed gun dogs and show dogs as a Junior handler, but his true passion was Animal Behavior.

After moving to Arizona, Spencer knew that he wanted to continue to pursue Dog Training and Animal Behavior. Spencer spent 7 years as a Dog Trainer for PetSmart - in that time he led his store to be the #3 store in the nation for Dog Training, and was hand picked to train future Dog Trainers! His passion and knowledge ultimately led to PetSmart consulting with him to revamp their Dog Training curriculum - which is still in use today!

Spencer and Lauren Mak started Mak Pack Dog Training & Boarding 6 years ago on a simple premise. To provide an all-inclusive experience for Owners and their Pets. They have devoted their nights, weekends, and holidays, to the unwavering philosophy of Behavior, Obedience, and Socialization.

When a dog comes into our care - we ensure that we provide them with everything they need to be successful and well adjusted - Structure, Obedience, Socialization, Behavior Modification, Potty Training & More! With their new venture - and having a dedicated Indoor Training, Daycare, and Boarding facility - they no longer want to be the best kept secret in Canine Care and Education. Come and see for yourself!
