ABOUT US
Austin Dog Training Pros’ mission is to bring harmony where there was chaos, and connection where there was conflict.
We empower dog owners to build positive and lasting relationships with their canine companions through mutual trust and understanding.
We don’t just train dogs, we educate dog owners.
Our holistic approach to dog training emphasizes the importance of the owner’s role in their dog’s behavior.
We want you to be your dog’s best friend, and we’ll show you how to make that happen.
OUR METHODS
At Dog 4 Life, we apply learning theory and behavioral science to teach dogs what we want them to do, and not to do. Dogs are not born knowing how to behave the way we want them to. But they can learn.
Of course, we want your dog to retain his unique personality while learning to be a well-mannered companion. Our methods are safe, gentle, and effective. They are based on understanding how dogs think, learn, and communicate.
We train to a standard of excellence and reliability so that you can trust your dog in any situation, whether it’s at home or in public. We want to make it possible for you to include your dog in your life and activities as much as you’d like, without stress or worry.
We will also be coaching you, the owner, on how to best support your dog’s training and success. The owner’s role is crucial to a dog’s learning, and we will show you how to make the most of your time together.
Our goal is to help you have the best possible relationship with your dog, built on trust, respect, and love.
