Have You Heard About our Revolutionary Program - Buddy Guarding?

We understand that every dog comes with their own backstory and sometimes jumping right into a class setting can be scary. This is why we created a new hybrid service called Buddy Guarding.

Buddy Guarding is perfect for our Reactive Rovers or every day pups that need a little more exposure, distraction or need counter conditioning in a controlled environment with the support of a trainer. Clients and their dogs audit a class or come during day training hours with the safety of a trainer and work on their skills in a fun and unconventional way!

Sign up today! Send us a DM or reach out at 210-418-1440 or [email protected].

❤️ Big Ol’ Fat Belly! ❤️

This sweet girl is here for a behavioral board and train. She has a bite history, resource guards and reactivity but does that define her? No! She’s sweet, intelligent, loving and playful. We’re so happy to see all of those sides of her, even her big ol belly!

Your dog should enjoy their training and love their handlers. THIS is love and trust. 😍

Looking for Love? Meet Angelina! ❤️🐾

Are you ready to be adored by 85 lbs (and growing!) of pure love? Meet Angelina, a 1-year-old Mastiff who thinks she’s a lap dog and is looking for her perfect match!

Angelina is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves snuggles, snacks, and short walks. She enjoys playing with other dogs after a proper introduction but would prefer a larger canine companion who can keep up with her play style (sorry, no cats!). She’d also be perfectly happy being your one and only!

Angelina can be a little shy with new people and gets nervous around new things, but if you have snacks, you’ll win her heart in no time. Once she decides you’re hers, you’re in for life! She’s currently in training to boost her confidence and work on impulse control, and she’s doing great. She walks beautifully on a gentle leader to help with her size and strength.

Her ideal home would be adults only or with older children who understand that she needs a little time to feel comfortable. She’s looking for a patient owner who will go slow, continue her training, and provide lots of love.

If you’re searching for a loyal, cuddly companion who enjoys lazy days with a little playtime mixed in, Angelina might just be your perfect match! 💕

Interested? Let’s set up a meet-cute—Angelina can’t wait to fall in love! 🐶✨

✨ Wisdom Wednesday: Enrichment with Everyday Items! ✨ Did you know you can turn everyday household items into fun and engaging enrichment activities? You don’t need fancy toys to stimulate the mind—just a little creativity! Here are some simple ways to use common household items for enrichment: 🧻 Toilet Paper Rolls – Create treat puzzles by folding the ends, or stack them for a fun knock-down game! 📦 Cardboard Boxes – Perfect for hide-and-seek games, sensory tunnels, or DIY mazes! 🧺 Laundry Baskets – Use them for sorting games, tossing activities, or as an obstacle in a fun agility course! 🧦 Old Socks – Make a tug toy, fill with crinkly paper for a sensory surprise, or use for scent-tracking games! 🥜 Muffin Tins – Hide treats in the cups and cover with tennis balls for an easy and engaging puzzle! The possibilities are endless, and best of all, you’re reusing and repurposing! What’s your favorite household item to use for enrichment? Share your ideas below! ⬇️💡 #WisdomWednesday #EnrichmentFun #CreativePlay #DIYActivities

Maximum effort....minimal success 🤦🏽‍♀️

Enrichment doesn’t have to be expensive! Throw some treats in a paper towel roll and let them have some fun. 🧻

About

Our Cause Has Four Paws

My name is Jessica Davis, CPDT-KA. I am the owner and operator of Arfordable Dog Training. All my life I have been an animal lover but was never a math/science person. After the realization that being a veterinarian would be an unlikely future for me, I turned to customer service. Throughout my career, I knew something was missing. I wanted to give back and help others. I started volunteering at a local shelter and fell in love. The people, the pups, and the passion. The shelter started a dog training team and the rest is history.

After 3 years of working with reactive, fearful, and socialized pups, I knew it was time to get certified. Along with becoming a dog trainer and receiving my CPDT-KA through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), helping people make their lives easier with their beloved pups has been my greatest accomplishment. To see the impact of a few simple behaviors on families has motivated me to learn more and work harder than ever before.

Our training philosophy is to focus on positive reinforcement to train you and your dog. Through positive training it will allow your relationship to flourish and ensure well-behaved dogs remain as part of the family. Through affordable dog training, behavioral modification and education, families can keep their pets in the home and hopefully, impact the overpopulation of dogs in San Antonio and surrounding cities.
