Testimonials
“I called Dogman (William) because my 3 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees mix was nipping and growling at family members and very reactive to other dogs on walks. Dogman (William) was extremely brave, patient and willing to deal directly with my 95 pound dog. With Dogman’s training, (he mostly trained us because we were the ones that needed it most), my dog, Krypto, has become much better behaved and friendly, and we now understand how he thinks and how to maintain this new and improved behaviour. This has been a wonderful experience, thoroughly successful, and extremely helpful. What we learned from William will last a lifetime.”
– Sharon Slopis, Michael Gadbois, and my brother, John Slopis
“We have used DOGMAN for boarding (a week+ at a time) and it’s always been a great experience. We love William and his team–what’s more important is that our dog loves them and always seems happy to go there. I like their approach of making it feel like a home; and appreciate the occasional photo or video update! Highly recommend.”

“Superb experience with William! We see a 180 degree turnaround in our dog Mona’s behavior! Mona used to beg for food, pull her leash hard during walks, and get too excited around small kids (which could be dangerous), and now….she is much calmer, doesn’t pull during walks, and does NOT beg for food anymore. William is like a dog whisperer’s whisperer. He is really THAT good based on our experience!”
– Betina and Daniel W.
About the Trainer
DOGMAN Training is a family-owned dog training and care business based in Houston, Texas, founded by William and Nancy Attra. They specialize in gentle, positive reinforcement training that builds trust, respect, and love between dogs and their families. All training sessions occur in the client’s home, where dogs feel most comfortable, and each plan is customized to the dog’s unique personality, limitations, and behavioral needs. DOGMAN focuses on rescues and dogs with special needs, offering a relationship-first approach that addresses the root causes of behavior issues. In addition to private in-home training, they offer hybrid board-and-train programs, boutique boarding, and small-pack daycare—all provided in a cozy, converted two-story home with 24/7 on-site care. Their philosophy emphasizes that 60% of training success comes from modifying human behavior, and they empower owners to maintain progress long after sessions end.
Their boarding and daycare services are designed to be stress-free, with no cages, cozy beds, personalized attention, and regular photo/video updates. William, the primary trainer, has over a decade of professional experience in behavior consultation, in-home training, and dog massage therapy, and is deeply involved in every client’s journey.
DOGMAN also offers workshops and group lessons coming soon, led by William, focused on socialization, fear, and reactivity in small, supportive environments.
