Dog Training Programs
Puppyhood Prep Lessons
Puppy classes are designed to lay a strong obedience foundation for a lifelong bond between you and your new puppy. This service is for dogs under 6 months of age. We will focus on confidence-building and your dog will be introduced to sit, down, impulse control, door manners, leash manners, crate training games, and to come when called. (Potty-training is only included with the Board & Train option.)
One-on-One Tailored Training
These lessons are designed for dog owners who want to be involved in the training process. Together we will focus on lifestyle-based dog training, which integrates dog obedience training into the daily routines and activities of both the dog and the owner. Choose to learn in the comfort of your home or in a facility. Dogs of all ages and breeds will learn:
- down/stay,
- place,
- sit/stay,
- leash manners,
- door manners, and
- to come when called.
We will customize the package to include any other behavioral issues the pet parent wants to address, such as jumping, leash pulling, and excessive barking. Some of these lessons will be in the community to emphasize real-world scenarios and practical skills, allowing dogs to practice in the context of their daily lives. These sessions are typically three lessons weekly for four weeks. Session normally last 35-45 minutes.
** Service territories for in-home lessons include West Houston, Southwest Houston, Alief, Mission Bend, Spring Branch, Richmond, Katy, and Sugar Land, TX. Ask about additional neighborhoods covered.

We will also tailor the program to address any additional behavioral concerns you would like to focus on, whether that's reactivity, jumping, counter-surfing, or impulse control. Some of these lessons will be field trips in the community with the dog trainer to proof their obedience in real-world scenarios, allowing dogs to practice in the context of their daily lives.
When your dog comes home, included is:
- A homecoming lesson to transfer the training back to you,
- Two follow-up sessions at your home or out in the community, and
