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.
