A One Week Tune-Up is available only for past clients to refresh training.

Policies

There is no 100% guarantee on training outcomes due to variables like owner consistency and follow-through. Owner participation during the Board and Train program is typically discouraged as it may be counterproductive. The program requires full commitment from the owner after the dog returns home.

EasTex K9 Dog Training LLC is a professional dog training business based in Anahuac, Texas, specializing in family pet obedience training using a balanced approach. Founded and led by Danny McWilliams, a former K-9 Handler with over 23 years of experience—including training police service dogs in narcotics detection, tracking, and apprehension—the business focuses on transforming family dogs into obedient, confident companions. Their flagship offering is a Board and Train program, where dogs stay at the facility for four weeks to learn essential commands like Here, Down, Heel, and Leave It, followed by two personalized in-home sessions to ensure the owner can maintain the training. Danny uses prong collars and modern E-Collars as communication tools, emphasizing leadership over treats, though food may be used briefly during initial learning stages. The business serves Houston, Beaumont, and San Antonio areas, and accepts all dog breeds and sizes. Equipment is provided as part of the program, and ongoing support is offered to clients as part of the EasTex K9 family.

Danny’s training philosophy is rooted in consistency, structure, and balanced methods, drawing from his law enforcement background and hands-on experience with high-drive working dogs. He works exclusively with dogs exhibiting issues like leash reactivity, jumping, barking, fearfulness, and aggression, and claims success even with severe behavioral challenges. The program is designed for owners committed to following through after the training, with no guarantees offered due to the importance of owner consistency.

Additional services include a One Week Tune-Up program for past clients and an online shop for training equipment. Danny personally trains every dog and conducts all follow-up sessions, ensuring uniformity and quality control.
