With all the flooding, rest assured-your pets are safe, warm, and dry with us. Our facility sits on a hill, keeping everyone cozy and out of harm’s way.

It’s amazing watching how the universe works. Trisha Simpson worked with us and was one of Willow’s trainers when she trained with us in 2024. When we reposted Willow, Trisha immediately reached out and wanted to adopt Willow. Today she made it official. She’s been by a few times with her other two dogs, Apollo and Zeus to acclimate Willow to her new brothers. Congratulations to Willow and the Simpson family on their newly formed family and bond.

Jump in to training this summer with On Command Dog Training. See what I did there! 😜

Call us at 254-265-7400 and let’s schedule a consultation to see how we can help.

When your PawPaw is a dog trainer, you invite him to your school with his trusty sidekick, Jackson.

Our two trainers, Ladonnis and Trevon joined in as OCDT took a road trip to the Salado Montessori School. The kids were so excited to tell us about their pets at home and to meet and see Jackson perform obedience and some pretty cool tricks. While we covered their faces for this post, they were unable to hide their excitement and joy when they got to pet Jackson and give him some payments for a wonderful performance. Thank you to Salado Montessori for inviting us out last week and we look forward to returning when you all are back in session.

Took this picture just outside of the Harker Heights Pet Adoption Center a couple days ago. Irony or a message?

Sorry, ladies! Pretty Tony is no longer available and has been taken off the market by this wonderful family. Woodie (who we’ve dubbed Pretty Tony) will complete his final three weeks of training with us but has been adopted.

Hooray for Woodie! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

We had a couple of graduates a week ago. Luka and Willow completed our puppy program where there learned many behaviors like sit, place, heel, down, socialization and more. Let’s show our love for these two and their families.

Following a daily routine helps build confidence, expectations and sets standards. Our routine starts with the 3 P’s (P*e, P**p & Play).

A little group place during week 2. Willow, the gray/white pitty, completed 6 weeks of training with us last year. She was adopted and kept being found as a stray. She eventually and unfortunately ended up back at the Harker Heights Pet Adoption Center. She’s returned back to us for another 6 weeks of training with her obedience still very much in tact. Willow will be working on more advanced behaviors as well as some more complex tricks like the infamous “Beer Me” trick. Willow should go to a home with active and involved pet owners. Willow does get along with other dogs but plays with a lot of intensity. If you’re interested in meeting, fostering or adopting Willow, please reach out to us at OCDT or contact the Harker Heights Pet Adoption Center.

Greetings, community. Check out this little spitfire, Woodie. He’s about 1.5 years old and is available for adoption through the Voices for the Gatesville Animal Shelter. He’s spending 6 weeks with us at OCDT where he’ll be getting a solid foundation in obedience and socialization. Would you believe it if I told you 10 days ago when he was dropped off, he was nervous and lacked confidence? This guy is a love bug with the cutest, tiniest face and will fit in with male, female, puppy and adult dogs. If you’re interested, please contact us at 254-265-7400 or reach out to the Gatesvill Animal Control.

Susie Q was fostered today and will likely be adopted by this wonderful family. Susie is warming up and settling in just fine. Thank you Ashley and Jordan Yano for giving Susie the opportunity at a happy home with your beautiful family. I hope Rebel enjoys her new sister.

🚨 🚨 🚨 ADOPTION ALERT 🚨 🚨 🚨

Bugsy was just adopted by this wonderful family. They met him today and he immediately warmed up to them and began showing that wonderful personality. He’ll be college bound with his new mom and accompany her while she trains to be a vet tech. We couldn’t be more happy for The Bugs and we’re looking forward to following his progress in his new home.
