Training your dog gives him the life he deserves!
An untrained dog can develop annoying, impolite, or even dangerous behaviors. Jumping can knock over children, leash pulling makes walks stressful, nails can scratch, and mouthing can hurt, even during play. Without proper training, dogs are often confined to the backyard, crate, or other containment.
Some pet owners may even consider giving their dog away or taking them to a shelter. When removed from their pack, a dog can lead a miserable life. Puppy training in San Antonio, TX and training for older dogs provides both owner and pet the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company and spend quality time together. Restricting your dog only makes behavioral problems worse.
We offer a variety of solutions to strengthen the bond between owner and dog. No matter the breed, we can address obedience and behavior issues with simple, yet highly effective methods.

In-Home Obedience Training
We provide professional in-home dog and puppy obedience training at competitive pricing for your convenience. Our approach teaches owners how to understand their dog and communicate effectively.
Training begins in a low-distraction environment in your home and gradually introduces distractions as your dog progresses. Our methods focus on building a strong relationship using natural pack behavior. By applying dog psychology techniques, we address behavioral issues first, then teach obedience commands. Behavioral challenges are assessed and addressed during the first lesson.
Board and Train
Our board and train program is a minimum 4-week program suitable for any breed of dog at least six months old, including young dogs, older dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with behavioral issues. Dogs learn crate training, socialization skills, polite greetings, and obedience commands such as “come,” “stay,” “off,” and “heel.” Training also includes house manners like staying off furniture and waiting at doors. By the end of the program, your dog will be a well-mannered companion.
During the program, we closely follow our in-home four-lesson series. Training begins with a three-hour session at pick-up, transferring leadership to you so your dog will follow your direction just as they did with the trainer. You’ll learn our methods for handling, communication, commands, rewards, and corrections, as well as proper equipment use. To maintain progress, leadership, timing, and consistency are essential, which is why the entire family is encouraged to attend the transfer session.
