“What you allow, will be”. This statement is used often with our clients when discussing behavioral issues or things our dogs might do that drive us crazy. Jumping, getting in the trash, running away when we call them, etc. When we allow these behaviors, we are in effect reinforcing that behavior to continue if not happen more often.

Interested in learning how to change the game and not only eliminate (for good!) bad behaviors, but also teach the dog a better way to get what they want? Give us a ring! Shoot us an email! Let’s get to work! The majority of the time, a single training session can change everything! Thank you for the kind handmade and thoughtful gift, Trent! You are the best!

Fidelio Dog Works is the best dog training company in Austin, TX. Our services include obedience training, puppy training, and board and train programs.

IYKYK! Fidelio is here to help! Come work with us and will help teach your dog how to walk on a loose leash. Stop falling for the marketing BS!

Dogs generally pull about 60 per cent harder on a leash when wearing a padded harness compared with a collar, even when the equipment is marketed as “anti pull” – putting the people walking them at risk of injury.

Some dogs – especially smaller breeds – pull with a force more than twice their body weight on the collar, potentially damaging their throats, says Erin Perry at Southern Illinois University.

“It’s really very shocking,” she says. “The dogs are almost choking themselves on that collar repeatedly. But the harnesses in our study just didn’t inhibit pulling in any way, and that’s definitely a wake-up call – especially because of the risk to owners.”

Happy client and happy puppy! Zeke was with us for a 5 day puppy board and train working on all the things! Potty training 101, crate training, intro to leash and a lot of puppy play! We worked on playing with a few older dogs and did some exposure to some things he will run into early in life: vacuum cleaners, bikes and scooters, kids running around, trash truck noises, etc. Zeke did amazing and seeing the smile on his human guides face is what it’s all about! Good boy buddy!

Enzo! This guy is one of the best looking, cutest doodles ever! Mr. Enzo is wrapping up his 2 week puppy Board and Train and goes home in a few hours. Potty training, mouthy/bitey behavior, and general shenanigans were the focus when he arrived. We’ve worked to build confidence and teach Enzo how to walk on a leash, poop/pee outside ONLY, how to enjoy the crate, improve his ability to settle quickly and how to have fun and play with some boundaries. We worked to introduce him to “things” like vacuum cleaners, bikes and skateboards, loud noises and other puppies and dogs. Best of all we’ve introduced some basic or intro level obedience such as loose leash walking with an auto sit, auto sitting at doors and in / out of kennel, recall (come) and place command that help him have a place to settle outside of the kennel. He’s done soooo well! Looking forward to seeing him back in December when he’s 5 months old and we can get into more of the obedience training! Good job buddy!

Lily came to us 4 weeks ago with a foundation in controlling behaviors learned from her first 7 months of life. A master of incessant barking at her owners, successfully interrupting phone calls or conversations, demanding constant attention especially when attention was elsewhere. Today, Lily is calmer and neutral in almost all environments and has a better understanding of how to get what she wants/needs. Proud of this pup and her owners that have put in the work to achieve their objectives. Seeing her owner tear up when Lily came over calmly and sat next to her, then laid down and took a nap during our pre go home session, reminds us why we love to do what we do here Fidelio Dog Works. Proud of you, Lily and Elana!
