Gateway trained our dog well and gave her (and us) life-long skills for a healthy life for our Brittany. Thank you!

The Ranch For Canine Training and Behavior

::Just a note: I am a personal friend of the owner, Catherine O'Donnell::…read more That said, this is one of only three trainers I will recommend in the Austin area. Having seen Catherine interact with not only her own dogs, but client dogs, I can personally say she is knowledgeable beyond belief and you can completely trust you are in excellent hands (and paws) with The Ranch For Canine Training and Behavior. This facility is immaculate. There is plenty of parking and her indoor facility is well lit and very well cared for. Catherine's knowledge extends way beyond basic training. She has handled and titled multiple dogs in conformation, obedience and protection work. This is a very big deal as many trainers have not successfully competed with and titled dogs to the level she has. She knows canine structure and behavior very well. These qualities are very hard to come by in a trainer. Not only the above, but she is great with communication on the human front. I challenge you to meet a more caring, loving, detail oriented dog trainer! She is fantastic with communication on the human level. Great lady, fantastic training space and a solid place to take your pup for schooling.

My friend shows champion Great Danes and found Catherine O'Donnell to help her with her new puppy…read more(already 80 pounds at 6 months!!!). I am also the proud new mom of a pug puppy (11 pounds at 6 months-LOL), so we hired Catherine to train our pups for the AKC S.T.A.R Puppy certification. I was blown away by Catherine's knowledge, communication with our puppies and ability to train we humans to be better leaders for our dogs. Not to mention we had so much fun!!! Catherine recently opened a lovely new facility on Hwy 290 just off RR12 and not only does she do private instruction, but also group classes and she brings in experts for training on pet massage, etc. I look forward to taking my puggy back for further certifications and classes with Catherine. She truly is a "dog whisperer" and her patient, yet commanding methods will ensure dogs (and their owners) of all ages, shapes and sizes can learn to be the best they can be! Thank you Catherine!!

Earlier this year, my pup Ryder was viciously attacked by two large dogs who slipped out of loose…read moredog collars as we passed them at the park. Fortunatley he healed well after two weeks of dedicated TLC but the trauma of the experience remained with both him and me well after Ryder physically healed. I reached out to Matt for virtual dog training appointments to help us through that, and his guidance and great wisdom around dog psychology and behavior and deep empathy for Ryder and in general made such a huge impact. I learned from Matt how to help Ryder through his fear and trauma and how to recognize when he was experiencing trauma (for example, he developed a new and strong fear of rumbling engines). By applying Matt's empathetic practices, Ryder has become much less fearful, is no longer afraid of rumbling engines or playing with other dogs and he's back to his old happy, playful, super enthusiastic and friendly self!! :) Matt also greatly helped my dog Ellie through the excessive anxiety that resulted from my marital separation and helped us learn what an impact the breaking of that social bond had on her and how to address it! We now give her the extra attention she needs when doing hand offs to switch between homes. Thank you so much, Matt working with you has made a WORLD of difference in Ryder and Ellie's quality of life!! :)

Matt really knows his stuff. We were so happy to have him come out to meet up new pups and put us…read moreall on the path for success!!

Our 1.5 year old lab/Shar Pei mix is stubborn and resistant to training. Our at-home attempts were…read moreunsuccessful and had little lasting impact. She has problems with reactivity on a leash, poor recall, and general stubborn behavior. We are still working through these things, but in six weeks with Sit Means Sit the difference is huge. She will not bark at other dogs now. If she does, it is once and she stops when I ask her to. She does not pull on the leash like she used to. I can actually get her attention when I need her to do something now. We trained at day camp with Ashley and she was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. She was so supportive and even stayed late with us to work through some problems together pretty much every lesson. My husband is reluctant to enforce rules or make our pup do things she doesn't want to do, and Ashley helped him with a few pep talks to understand why training is so important, even if it can be frustrating and uncomfortable. We are still learning and still have group classes to take, but so far I've been impressed and grateful.

Sit Means Sit has been made such a different for my dog (and more importantly, for me)! All of…read moretrainers are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about helping both dogs and owners succeed. The group classes have been a great way for my dog to build confidence and practice calming down around other dogs, and I've seen such a difference in his behavior at home, in public, and on walks. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive and patient training program!

Our family acquired a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy recently. At 8 weeks we were concerned that…read moreit would be too early to obedience train our pup. He was becoming a bit of a handful with biting and chewing. A phone call to Lillian and our pup, Ace, was well on his way to becoming a well behaved dog. Lillian even spent the time on our initial call to go over crate training and potty training. On the fist day, Lillian arrived to train Ace. In a matter of less than five minutes she taught Ace to sit! Over the course of a few lessons she taught Ace "Stay", "Down", "Come", "Fetch" and to walk on a leash without tugging. Lillian taught us quite a bit also. Most importantly how to understand why your dog behaves the way it does. If you are having any problems with your pup she will address your issues specifically. Lillian is simply amazing. She has always been available to us via phone or email. I have no doubt that if we ever needed help with training our pup we could call Lillian and she will always be there with valuable training advice and insight. She truly cares about animals and is a real joy to work with. I highly recommend her and consider one of the best in her field.

I contacted Lillian to help me with my female standard schnauzer. Ryley was demonstrating a lot of…read moreanxious behavior, fear of strangers and of other dogs. It was to the point I had considered re-homing her because I had no idea what to do. I called Lillian and spoke with her at length. She immediately gave me some great suggestions that I was able to use immediately. We scheduled an appointment for the following week. Lillian came to my house and I felt comfortable with her immediately. Not only was she able to help my dog she helped ME be able to take a deep breath and learn my dogs signals and cues and she gave me tons of strategies to use. She followed up each session with a detailed report with more resources. Always on time, always calm and quiet. My dogs love her and so do I. My pup isn't perfect but she is an entirely different pup and I am happy to say I would never consider her being anywhere but with me. Lillian is the best!
