Texas K-9 Academy offers comprehensive dog training programs, including a two-week board and train program designed to teach dogs to be respectful and obedient.

About the Trainer
Welcome to Texas K-9 Academy, a dog training solution based in Texas, serving the DFW Metroplex. They believe in obedience training that yields tangible results in everyday situations, not just controlled settings. Their comprehensive programs aim to build a strong foundation for success in crucial areas.

They emphasize leadership and authority in their teaching techniques. With over 30 years of combined experience in dog behavior and training, they guide dog owners towards reliable and lasting results, helping to develop a deep bond and understanding.
The academy addresses common issues such as bolting out the door, leash pulling, lunging at people or other dogs, overwhelming guests, and playful but problematic behaviors like stealing socks. They also tackle more serious challenges including resource guarding, separation anxiety, and leash reactivity. Their goal is to help dogs respect boundaries, come reliably when called, and remain calm around guests.
