At Mattox Dog Training Academy, we believe in creating strong bonds built on trust, training, and love. Located on our scenic farm in Eltopia, WA, our academy is more than just a training facility—it’s a place of transformation for both dogs and their owners throughout the Tri-Cities and Southeastern Washington.
Whether you’re seeking professional obedience training, specialized service dog programs, or simply a place to board your dog while you’re away, we’re here to help. We also partner with Mikey’s Chance Canine Rescue and Service Peace Warriors, giving rescue dogs a second chance and supporting veterans with trained service dogs.

Comprehensive Obedience Training and Boarding
Our obedience training and boarding services help your dog master essential skills while building confidence in their environment.
We understand that dogs thrive when they are treated like dogs—not humans. By fostering a pack order and clear expectations, we help your dog learn, adapt, and excel in any environment. Through consistency and care, we’re committed to making sure you and your dog grow together.

Training with us sets the foundation for a lifetime of companionship. From puppy training to advanced behavior correction, we guide both you and your dog toward a rewarding, lasting relationship.
Community Partnerships Built on Hope
Our academy proudly supports Service Peace Warriors, a nonprofit providing service dogs to veterans at no cost. Additionally, we work with Mikey’s Chance Canine Rescue, offering rehabilitation and training for adoptable dogs to ensure they’re ready for their forever homes.
With over 67 years of combined professional dog training experience, our team is trusted – Regionally and Nationally – for our expertise and compassion.
