Surely you can be a responsible dog owner until your dogs growth plates are closed.....

Hey guys the weather is too rainy 🌧 it's sprinkling so I think I'm going to say tonight is canceled, if the weather is better tomorrow we will do one at 8am

At Txrockdogges we believe every dog deserves effective, proven teaching methods and every human deserves access to credible training and behavior services. I keep my prices very affordable and offer a wide range of classes for every budget. I will teach you how to train your dog, from obedience commands to the most effective ways handling of unwanted behaviors. Whether you've had trainers that didn't get results you wanted, and were told your dog is "beyond help" — contact me and get it done right. Once I've assessed your dog’s needs, I use positive reinforcement and balanced training methods resulting in a well-trained companion.

Hey guys if I've helped you with your dog over the past 7 years can you send me a 2 or 3 sentence testimonial along with a picture of your pup? I'd like to put together something for the new year ✨️

This is why I do my training program where you are 💯 involved the whole time.

The sheer number of amazingly well trained dogs, walking around like they don’t know anything, is astounding. 🤣

If only this dog training thing could be successfully outsourced and one could spend the money, put in the minimal time to check the box, and count on the work that some expert shared with your dog and yourself…and all the great stuff would last.

There’s perfectly good reasons well-trained dogs backslide and past issues come sneaking back in: you’re lacking skills, you’re lacking knowledge, you’re lacking emotional insight/balance, you’re lacking discipline.

Regardless of the money spent, your dog will only be as good as you are. YOU have to become the equal to that which you desire. What are your goals? What are the issues you’re facing? What level of skill/personal transformation are required for you to achieve those goals and overcome those obstacles? And are you willing to put in that time and make those sacrifices? If not, no complaining about your dog backsliding—only one of you is responsible for the “sliding” around here.

As Winston Churchill famously said, “A well-trained dog is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

Time to get to work, and time to own up. No complaining about the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do. ❤️

For folks confused about how to properly socialize your dog the above trainer has a course on sale, today is the last day of the sale. It talks about how to properly integrate dogs together and body language to watch for.

If you have multiple dogs or bring your dog to play with others, learn what rude dog behavior looks like.
