CMC Dog Training is a premier dog training and boarding facility serving the DFW area since 2000, with locations in Flower Mound and Justin, Texas. Founded by Susan Warren, a trainer with over 40 years of experience, CMC offers private lessons, board and train programs, and Saturday group classes for graduates only. Their facility features 24/7 on-site care, indoor/outdoor runs, climate-controlled kennels, and spacious play areas.

A unique advantage is their lifetime free group classes for all graduates, ensuring ongoing support. They welcome all breeds and sizes, including rescue dogs and those with challenging histories.

CMC’s team includes Susan Warren and Glenna, an assistant trainer who leads most private lessons. They use positive, firm, and repetitive training methods tailored to each dog’s needs, with video and photo updates provided during board and train programs. They also provide “baby books” with command guides and hands-on demonstrations at pickup to help owners maintain progress at home.

Boarding includes medication administration (using Pill Pockets only), snacks, socialization, and long walks—all at no extra cost. Their facility is designed for comfort and safety, with a one-acre country setting and modern AKC training equipment.
