Vicki is an excellent dog trainer. She worked with us, as well as our dog, Zeke, who was quite a mess when he started seeing her is becoming quite the gentleman because of her. We are forever thankful to have found her!

This team has provided skills for my family, myself, and my dog to work together in a way I didn't think was possible. I couldn't be happier with the gentle, cooperative training method between people and dog. I will definitely continue basic training and hope to be able to go on to more advanced training in the future.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 6 months old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private dog training lessons • Therapy or service dog training • House training • Digging • Crate training • I travel to the dog trainer • The dog trainer travels to me

Our website offers a lot of information that may helpful. Please call us or come out to the resort to learn more.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Please read-important! Dog training is an unregulated field. Credentials are optional. By selecting a highly credentialed dog trainer, you can be sure that you and your dog are in safe hands. Credentialed trainers use the most current, scientifically proven methods of teaching. They aren't relying on second hand information from decades past. Credentialed trainers must attend continuing education and stay current on ever more effective, compassionate methods. Experience is the greatest value of all. Working with an experienced trainer means they can spot issues early and help you navigate around common pitfalls. They can save you time, money and heartache. Best of all, experienced trainers have a variety of ways to teach things, depending on the learner, so sessions are fresh, fun and productive. We have 40 years’ experience and are perhaps the highest credentialed trainers in Texas. Our certifications are: AKC-CGC, MM, CDPDT-KA, APDT, IACP and Associate Certified Behavior Consultant.
