Texas VIP Dog Training

Texas VIP Dog Training offers several distinct programs tailored to different needs. Their “Stay and Train” program is a total immersion experience where dogs live with the trainers for intensive one-on-one training, learning communication through food, leash, and stimulation collar. This program includes on and off-leash obedience, an “off switch” command, and real-life exposure through field trips, dog socials, and adventure walks.

The “Raise and Train” program is designed for bringing a dog into the home, starting as early as breed selection and covering basics like crate training and engagement skills. This program provides frequent updates and check-in sessions, preparing both the dog and handler for a smooth transition.

“Private Lessons” focus on improving communication between dog and owner as a team, teaching basic leash obedience such as sit, down, and long line recalls, as well as house manners like an “off switch” and threshold manners. Clients work with expert trainers and are expected to practice repetitions between sessions.

“Group Classes” are offered as continued education for graduated clients, including refresher classes to brush up on skills in stimulating environments, and beginner classes in 5-week blocks covering basic obedience like sit, down, and place. These classes also help improve handling skills, engagement, and marker words.

Additionally, they provide “Daycare” for dogs to enjoy a countryside retreat with treadmill time, adventure walks, dog socials, and short obedience sessions. “Short term and long term boarding” is also available, where dogs learn the treadmill, receive one-on-one obedience sessions, assist with training other dogs through distractions, and enjoy free time on adventure walks across their 15-acre property.
