Testimonials
“Ellie Mae was difficult to say the least but what modern k9’s did in three weeks was life changing for us. Ellie has manners, listens to commands, and is a better version of herself. Thank you to the moon and back. your talents and passion show in the clients you train.”
– Melanie Kasper
“We just got Deschutes back and we couldn’t be happier. He was with them from age 12 weeks to 14 weeks. The 2 week board and train helped with his house training and he is up to verbal sit and down and they integrate the sit and down with a stay. He has learned place, off, no, yes, and free. He is progressing well with loose leash walking. He is calmer and more focused. We are excited to continue his training and will definitely work with Ty and Chelsea again.”

“Tyler is an amazing dog trainer. She is loving, caring, and understanding no matter what type of dog you have. We sent our two dogs to her for the basic 2 weeks training and did an amazing job. There is not one negative thing I can say about her and her training. She is great at what she does and we have the upmost respect for her as a Veteran of the Armed Forces.”

About the Trainer
Texas Modern K9s is a veteran-owned and operated dog training business based in Texas, offering personalized, in-home-style training at their private 2-acre property. They specialize in board and train programs where dogs live with the trainer in a climate-controlled, remotely monitored building, rather than a traditional kennel. Training is conducted daily with realistic scenarios that mirror the dog’s home environment, and dogs receive 3–5 dedicated sessions per day. They also offer private lessons, puppy packages, and behavior modification programs. The business emphasizes balanced training methods, continuous learning, and strong owner involvement through follow-up lessons. They provide pet boarding services for non-training stays and include a pond for water-based enrichment. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. Their approach is tailored to each dog’s needs, with a focus on comfort, safety, and long-term behavior transfer to the home.
They serve clients throughout Waller County, Harris County, and surrounding areas, and offer complimentary follow-up private lessons to ensure training consistency. Their founder, Tyler, is a former U.S. Army Military Police and K9 Handler with additional certifications in veterinary technology and professional dog training.
They also offer a referral program, discounts for active duty military, veterans, and first responders, and post daily updates of dogs in training on social media for owner peace of mind.
