Puppy Training

Starting your puppy off on the right paw is crucial for their development. Texas Dog Academy’s puppy training program focuses on socialization, basic obedience, and house training. Our trainers use gentle, positive reinforcement techniques to teach your puppy essential skills and behaviors.

• Socialization: Early socialization is key to raising a well-adjusted dog. Our program includes controlled interactions with other dogs and people to help your puppy develop confidence and good manners.
• Basic Obedience: We cover the basics such as sit, stay, come, and leash walking, ensuring your puppy learns to follow commands consistently.
• House Training: We provide practical tips and techniques to help you house train your puppy effectively, minimizing accidents and building good habits.

Basic Obedience Training

For dogs of all ages, our basic obedience training program at Texas Dog Academy lays the foundation for good behavior. This program is perfect for dogs who need to learn or reinforce essential commands and manners.

• Commands and Cues: Dogs will learn basic commands such as sit, stay, down, and come. We also teach polite leash walking and addressing common behavioral issues like jumping and barking.
• Owner Education: Training isn’t just for dogs; it’s for owners too. We teach you how to communicate effectively with your dog and reinforce positive behaviors at home.

Advanced Obedience and Behavioral Modification

For dogs with specific behavioral issues or those ready for more advanced training, Texas Dog Academy offers advanced obedience and behavioral modification programs.

• Advanced Commands: Dogs will learn more complex commands and behaviors, such as off-leash training, advanced recall, and precision heel work.
• Behavioral Modification: For dogs with behavioral issues such as aggression, fear, or anxiety, our trainers develop customized plans to address and modify these behaviors. We use a combination of behavior modification techniques and positive reinforcement to help your dog overcome their challenges.

Texas Dog Academy also offers specialized training for service dogs, therapy dogs, and dogs participating in canine sports.

• Service Dog Training: We train dogs to assist individuals with disabilities, teaching them tasks such as retrieving items, opening doors, and providing support.

Our Training Philosophy

At Texas Dog Academy, our training philosophy is rooted in the belief that every dog deserves a loving and respectful approach to learning. We adhere to the following principles:

• Positive Reinforcement: We focus on rewarding good behavior with treats, praise, and affection. This method fosters a positive learning environment and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
• Consistency and Patience: Consistency is key to successful training. Our trainers provide you with the tools and knowledge to maintain consistent training practices at home. Patience is equally important; we understand that every dog learns at their own pace, and we tailor our approach to meet their individual needs.
• Holistic Approach: We take a holistic approach to training, considering your dog’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Our programs include not only obedience training but also enrichment activities, proper nutrition, and health care advice.

Success Stories

Nothing speaks louder than success stories from our satisfied clients. Here are a few testimonials from dog owners who have experienced the transformative power of Texas Dog Academy:

• John and Bella: “Bella had severe anxiety and fear of other dogs. The trainers at Texas Dog Academy were incredibly patient and understanding. Through their behavioral modification program, Bella has become more confident and calm. We’re so grateful for their help!”
• Emily and Rocky: “Rocky has always been full of energy, and we wanted to channel that into something positive. Texas Dog Academy’s agility training program was perfect for him. He loves the challenges, and it has improved his focus and obedience. We couldn’t be happier!”
