About

My positive reinforcement techniques are designed to enhance a dogs disposition while teaching them proper behavior. I love teaching owners to be able to show off their dogs.

We live in Whitehouse TX and were blessed to be able to rescue a Belgian Shepard recently. We didn't know what type of trauma she had gone thru being loose for who knows how long. It took 2 weeks for her to start to trust us. We wanted to get the help of a professional trainer who had a lot of past experience. That is why we chose Robert. With a few 2 hour sessions Robert was able to train us and our dog, SHADOW. She is house broken and does a good job of telling us when she has to pee or poop. Robert even was able to get her to go in our pool with us. We now have the job of continuing to reinforce all the good habits Shadow has developed. Denny & Janet White

I am very satisfied with the service provided to me by Weatherwax Dog Training. The trainer engaged me in the process of addressing my dog's behavioral issues to bring about a positive change. He answered all my questions and concerns adequately in a way that I could understand.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It's not complicated; I just don't want people thinking it can all be fixed in one lesson. See above for my pricing
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have forgotten more than most trainers will ever learn. I am intuitive in my training so I learn from every dog I work with...
How did you get started doing this type of work?
It was assumed that I would be a dog trainer before I even thought about what career path I would take.
