Hi my name is Hayli and I have an extensive background in animal behavior from a very young age. I look at each dog as an individual and wish to strengthen the bond between dog and owner with dog training that is realistic and reliable.
Dogs are pack animals that desire clear communication, structure, and deep bonds with their pack. What usually happens is humans are not fulfilling those needs the way the dog understands best. Our goal is to help you nurture your relationship with your dog, and clearly communicate with them. While most trainers use treats to reward, we use the ultimate reward, touch. Affection is the ultimate reward for dogs, and the dog will then work for you, rather themselves through treats.




Rebel K9 AZ exists to build more than obedience—we build a real bond. Through our relationship based obedience and behavior modification training methods, we strive to deepen the bond that you have with your dog. We specialize in reactivity, aggression, leash pulling, jumping, public access and general obedience.

Puppy blues are the real deal, with Rebel K9 AZ we work with you to create harmony in the home. This is the perfect stepping stone to advanced obedience.

This package dives into being well rounded in the home and working our way outside. We work our way outside to master loose leash heeling and behaving in public, stopping all unwanted behavior and enforcing the behaviors that we love!

An immersive training experience with your dog coming into the trainers home. Best for more advanced obedience, and behavior modification. We are home based, not a facility.
Here’s our story.
We lost our precious Frenchie after 12 years and were heart broken. We needed to fill that hole in our heart. We got a golden retriever puppy who we named Moses (because he saved us. ) He is so sweet but with crazy puppy energy he became too hard for us as he grew swiftly and now at 10 months to 72 lbs. Around 2 months we realized it would be helpful to get a trainer. After using two different trainers over the following months and having mild to moderate success we were still frustrated. Mainly with pulling on walks and jumping on people. Goldens love everybody! After he tripped my husband resulting in a hand injury we needed help. Enter Hayli at Rebel K9 AZ.
Hayli has a very kind and compassionate training method. I believe she says her method resets their nervous system. She used no spike collars or shock collars , not even treats for motivation- just praise and love. After two weeks at her puppy camp he came home with some very impressive skills. We now can walk him calmly with the method she taught us. And we know what to do to calm him before greeting people and other dogs. We realize we will need to continue to practice but it’s a pleasure now. We are so grateful we found Hayli. I believe God sent her to us. Obviously we highly recommend her. I only wish we had found her in the beginning. I believe she’s unique in the puppy training world. We couldn’t be happier.

Our little guy came from an environment with very little socialization. Hayli has made a huge change in just the first sessions. He was terrified of everything but now is calm and curious. We can see how much she cares about him!Her technique really connected with our pup. And she’s coaching us to be able to keep progressing. We’re very glad we picked Rebel.
Hayli was amazing to work with from the start, and helped transform the behavioral issues I was having with my 6 yr old pit mix, Nova! We weren’t able to have guests over because she would constantly bark and chase them. Hayli helped us work through what I wasn’t sure could be solved. We started with the basics, that would provide a building block to smooth out her overall behavior outside the home as well. My “wow” moment was when we decided to host Thanksgiving at our house only a few weeks into our sessions. We had 12+ people over and Nova was quiet, in her “Place” command for a couple of hours. Even when I released her, she calmly greeted guests and it was truly amazing to see! All that to say, the work you put in is what you get out of it, so it’s important to stay consistent with the tools Hayli provides. The fact I could say so much more goes to show how highly I recommend Hayli—she’s also so kind & easy to connect with.

Puppies can start training as early as 8 weeks old. It's important to start early to establish good habits and prevent bad ones from forming.
Rebel K9 AZ offers private sessions as well as board and trains, focusing on reliable dog obedience, loose leash walking, and public access.
We use a combination of positive reinforcement and behavior modification techniques to address unwanted behaviors, such as aggression, fear, and separation anxiety.

There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to dog training. I would love to meet you and your dog and make sure we are a good match! Text or call 4804527874
