Integrity K9 Trainers is a family-focused dog training business serving Lubbock and Amarillo, Texas, with expert trainers dedicated to helping dogs become well-behaved, joyful members of the household. They specialize in balancing structure and fun to reduce stress and improve the dog-family relationship. Services include private family lessons, group classes, and a highly popular 2-week board and train program where dogs live with trainers and receive daily video updates. Trainers use a state-of-the-art e-collar (similar to a TENS unit) to gain the dog’s attention without pain, alongside positive reinforcement techniques. They emphasize off-leash recall, leash walking, and integration into family life, including outings to stores and parks. The team offers lifetime support to clients after training completion.
