Introduction
Hello! I am K9Cara and I train dogs, document and share the process along the way, and then I teach you how to be your own dog’s trainer at the end of the training week. I take your dog into my home for 1 week and train for first time response to the 5 universal obedience commands: ✔️Sit, ✔️Come (Recall), ✔️Stay, ✔️Heel, and the correction word ✔️No. I will housebreak your dog if needed, crate train, socialize your dog with other dogs, other animals, and with children, and I also correct away ANY other problem behavior you might be experiencing such as chewing, barking, running out the door, jumping, rough housing, nipping, excessive barking, etc. I stay in touch with you daily while your K9 is in my care, providing detailed updates of the progress as well as beautiful photos and custom tailored videos of me training your dog so that you can refer to those if needed later. At the end of the stay when you come to pick up your dog, I do a 1 hour lesson with you where I educate you on how to manage your dog in any situation. I teach you the method, I demonstrate the mastery, and then I coach you and have you demonstrate it for me so that I know that you know exactly what to do from there. I include a brand new slip lead with every dog I train and I instruct you on the proper use at our exit training session. I learned my trade from my father who originally learned dog training from the Maryland State Police Academy as well as an additional 30+ years of private business. He is the top rated trainer in Texas with over 200+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews! I was raised in the industry so doing this is like second nature to me. I have this down to science with over 30 years of combined experience with the wisdom of my father and K9 handling since I was a child. I am here to limit your liability and to help make the family dynamic with your dog easy and enjoyable as it should be! ********************************************************************************** I look forward to talking to you and training your dog!!!

Cara was great to work with and did a wonderful job with our rather strong willed Malinois pup. After the week with Cara she is much easier to handle and is in general less hyper active than she was. I would certainly recommend Cara to anyone in need of a trainer for dog.

Details: 0 - 6 months old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • I'm flexible • I'm flexible • Leash pulling • Digging • Crate training • Chewing • At the pro’s location

Cara was amazing with our dog, Bear! He is a reactive dog to visitors in our home and my wife and I are bringing our first child into the home soon so we reached out to her to help guide us in training Bear to make sure he is up for the task of having that additional family member in the home. Cara sends daily texts and videos of updates. She is super straight forward and a serious pro when it comes to this type of training. We already see our dog is much more mellow and understands the family dynamic much more now. We cannot thank Cara enough! Highly recommend!!

We needed help with our recent rescue and Cara was very accommodating. We didn’t need a full training course, more like a crash course refresher. She was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. We are now back on track and our boy is doing very well since last weeks visit. Thanks again Cara!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    $1,000 is my fee for 1 week of obedience training that will change the family dynamic with your dog for its lifetime.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have a lifelong experience and I am a second generation business owner in this industry as well as unending success with every dog that I train.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Don’t waste your time and money on treat trainers or board and trains that last longer than 1 week. If it takes a constant subscription to weekly lessons or weeks and weeks on end, they don’t know what they are doing.
