Arlo and I did 6 sessions with a reactive dog specialist but nothing helped. Within 10 minutes of training with Preston we had Arlo listening to me and not reacting to anything!

DFW K9 Trainer was founded on the belief that not all dogs are born equal. They each have their own unique traits and mannerisms, and therefore require their own unique and specialized training. That’s where I come in! Whether it’s for basic manners or more complex behavioral issues, I focus on not only training your pet, but teaching you how to effectively communicate with them. This method of training is full of fun techniques that will give you and your pet a happier life together.
I believe it’s never too early or late to teach an old or young dog (and its owner) new behaviors. My tailor-made services are designed with you and your dog in mind to ensure results. I believe in training you while you train your dog. My goal is to provide long-lasting impact through expert training because you have to be able to do this without me.
I have many years of experience in supporting dog owners to make the needed changes in their dog’s habits. My unmatched success and client satisfaction rates are my greatest source of pride.
Dog training isn’t just about your dog. In fact, the most integral part of the training process is you. That’s why I train you to make sure your training plan fits your lifestyle and is tailored to what you need. With practical and flexible programs, coupled with my constant collaboration with the veterinary and rescue community, I'm here to be your one and only source for quality dog training.
PERSONALIZED DOG TRAINING
This process will be catered to your lifestyle and environment. You will begin making the necessary changes and seeing the resulting improvements in your dog. I will evaluate your progress and we address any remaining issues. Training may take place off site for socialization and exposure therapy purposes.
We address any behaviors remaining and continue improving on previously-problematic areas. We will write a detailed-personal plan for your lifestyle and routine moving forward so you can effectively take the wheel. Your dog should never stop improving and your bond should grow with time.
When you have dominance problems, you need an expert who specializes in unwanted behaviors.
Your dog knows not to damage your stuff. It's a behavioral issue, not a training issue.
Your dog and other dogs may want to warn and correct each other until they feel completely safe.
When your dog is impossible to manage, you may consider doing the unthinkable.
Your dog may feel that warnings are no longer enough to stop competition.
Your dog may stress out trying to be the center of attention.

You may bring your dogs to me at 1111 Beltline Rd. Garland, TX 75040. We will put your dogs through a series of exercises based on their needs. You will be handling your dog during the training.
It's not about spending extra time training your dog, it's about changing the time you already spend with your dog.
Dogs are living creatures with feelings and personality. They don't want to be stressed or stressing you, they just need help.
All dogs are different. We will find out exactly what each individual dog needs in your pack. All people and animals are affected so everyone may be involved.
Walking my new rescue and bringing him to work was a daunting task for me. I didn't know where to begin and I'd hired trainers in the past without great results.
Preston was so effective I even hired him to train my staff! The best part is that I finally have a behaviorist to recommend to my clients."
