Houston Dog Coach

Specialties

The Houston Dog Coach offers the best training for dogs in the Houston Heights! We handle dog behavioral issues (aggression, anxiety, hyperactivity and more) and offer private puppy training, AKC Canine Good Citizen training testing, service dog training, group training classes, and seminars. We’re experienced training very young puppies — as young as 8 weeks old.

We will help your dog become socialized, and give them great leash training so they ignore dogs walking by. We have a strong commitment to natural, force free training. We don’t use shock collar or any other forms of aggression, just gentle techniques. We customize training for each dog as well.

After training with us, you’ll notice a wonderful change in your beloved pet. Your dog won’t be jumping or barking at the door, but friendly and excited to greet you. We offer a clean private office with a safe environment. We’re flexible with appointment times. Houston Dog Coach is the pet trainer you can trust — we speak dog!
