I had a 10 month old Springer Spaniel puppy named Maya who was terrorizing me. She was jumping all…read moreover everything, stealing shoes, chewing, and overwhelming other dogs and new people. I couldn't take her anywhere. I had already spent an outrageous amount of money on another trainer with no success. I was seriously considering rehoming her. But my vet recommended Corinna and when I met her I could see immediately see, she was different. When my dog came at her with over zealous excitement Corinna handled her quietly and firmly, with very little exertion on her part. Maya spent 3 weeks at her Board & Train. Corinna sent me regular videos of Maya's progress and I couldn't believe I was seeing my dog. She even took Maya inside Home Depot and set her by herself, not tethered to anything and walked away with people walking all around and she just calmly stayed where she was told to. Wow. When I picked her up Corinna went over all her new commands and how to get the results I have been looking for. Since she has been home things are so different. We still have some chewing issues but they are improving every day. From time to time I have called Corinna up and we will discuss what is going on and she will give me advise on how to continue to work on any problems I might be having. Maya has become such a great dog. I would highly recommend Corinna to anyone having problems with their dog. She knows her stuff.

No words can express my gratitude for Corinna's coaching!! Our puppy was extremely traumatized…read moreafter his long international flight to the US (he seemed fine before his journey). We could never leave our house for more than 15 minutes without him soiling in his crate and destroying our home. And he was horrified by just about anything. Strong winds. Garbage can lids. Golf carts. Bikes. Birds. But his greatest fear was children and their high-pitched voices. Unfortunately, predicting when kids would pop out during our walks was impossible. Our dog is very affectionate and sweet when calm, but when triggered, he would forget about his surroundings and aggressively scratch his way home (he's a big dog too), resulting in unintentional injuries for my husband and me. That said, we wanted him to experience the outdoors! Luckily, we connected with Corinna -- and we are SOOO lucky to have a dog psychiatrist, trainer, and magician in HOUSTON!! She was professional from day 0. She visited our home with a comprehensive list of questions and took copious notes. Walked us through her training methods and the different programs. We chose the 6-week intensive training, as we knew our dog had some psychological trauma that needed to be addressed. It was worth every penny. Corinna doesn't just take your money and peace out -- she truly cares. She continues to occasionally check in on us, and we trust her so much that she's our preferred dogsitter whenever we travel. A few months ago, I had a traumatized, skittish, and semi-aggressive dog. Today, I have a loving, peaceful, friendly, and calm buddy who enjoys watching me cook in the kitchen. AND HE BEGS TO GO ON WALKS!!!!!!!! As an added bonus, I've uploaded pics of my dog BEFORE and AFTER Corinna's 6-week program.

We love Lone Star Dog Training. Travis is a fantastic trainer. Our pitbull Rosie arrived in…read moreour garage in July hot, emaciated, and starving. We initially thought we'd foster her for adoption due to her dog aggression issues. After working with Travis, we decided togive Rosie a forever home ourselves. We brought Travis in to privately train her so she didn't have to deal with the stress of a group setting and because we wanted a tailored training program. With Lone Star Dog Training, we received an excellent job. Travis educated us about how training is important and what results he felt we could see. Over the course of 4 months, Rosie went from being aggressive toward our other dogs to feeling safe and comfortable with them. She's even adopted our 12 year old border terrier as her sister. Rosie has progressed from a frightened stray who did not wag her tail or understand how to take affection, to bounding and leaping with joy when she sees her people. She now seeks out our affections and looks forward to spending time with us. If not for Lone Star Dog Training, we would not have decided to keep her. It showed us what a wonderful, fun and loving dog Rosie is. Thank you, Travis , for your dedication and patience with us.

First review? Don't mind if I do…read more I have a Labradoodle, Dallas. He is half of my body weight. My husband and I had dozens of arguments about his pulling on his leash (sometimes causing me to almost lurch into traffic). I paid several hundred dollars in Petsmart group training classes. Dallas loved going to them to see his friends, but it wasn't a small enough setting for him to focus. Misty is all of the things you have been hoping to find. She is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. You can tell she truly loves dogs. She was never condescending about how little I know about dog training and gave real life examples of how to work through issues. Dallas is still a very energetic puppy, but he has gotten noticeably better. I would say he is 60% improved so far and no doubt we will hit 100% if we keep on practicing. Think of all the dumb things you spend money on. This is worth the money not to stress yourself out about your dog. You really love your dog. You want your dog to get better. This is the way. If you are even considering dog training, this girl is where it is at, for sure. You won't regret it.

Of course all dog parents always worry about our beloved pets. And for us it was the same especially since our dog needed to have their insulin shots at the scheduled times and luckily Barkway Resort took care of it! There was a variety of play areas for our beloved pets to play and hangout. And I really liked how they had a VIP section for a more quieter space so my dog could become his introverted ways after playing with the other dogs (both are extra costs) but I'm glad we did it. Unfortunately the cameras in the VIP were disabled for the 5 night stays we had our dog there. They mentioned they had someone who is trying to fix it but it was never turned on during our stay there in April. Because of this, we requested photos of each day of our dog just to know he was taken care of since the cameras were down and the staff provided that!

On our most recent visit, we walked into the lobby and a loose dog (Pitbull) pinned our dog to the ground. It was an absolutely terrifying moment. Our dog ended up with severe puncture wounds, had to be shaved, and required immediate veterinary treatment. This wasn't a minor scuffle, this dog could have killed our dog, and it should never have been able to happen in the FRONT LOBBY. Unfortunately, this wasn't the only issue. On a previous visit, which we regrettably booked, one of our dogs came home with what we believe was kennel cough and diarrhea. It lasted for weeks and spread to our other dog, turning into a very stressful situation. These experiences have completely destroyed our trust in this facility. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for boarding until they fix their safety and health protocols. I would give zero stars but that's not an option

Bob gave me the tools to overcome this bump in the road and for that I was very grateful. It just was not happening before I hired him. We were and are in training with someone else to pass the AKC CGC test to become a Therapy Dog and he just wasn't getting it. I felt that this $350 was money well spent. When it came time to test, I got nervous so I called Bob again to help me with the portion of the test that was to have my dog have no reaction to another dog. There are certain tasks your dog has to pass and this is one of them. It is more than just walking by another dog. He was to take the test the next day but I was nervous to take the test in case he was to fail this portion. He suggested we meet in front of Petsmart. I was hesitant to stand in front of a store asking customers for help, but hey he is the trainer. I don't know if Bob is unfamiliar with the CGC test as he kept asking me what was expected. Maybe, he just wanted to visit. I kept wondering, "Why is he asking me? He is the professional, not me." After 3 customer's dogs pass by he said, "This lesson was a bust. I'm not going to charge you. You can use me for something else."He encouraged me to take the test anyway. Little did I know that the encouragement would cost $350. My dog did pass the test today, but it is not because of yesterday. My dog and I work every single day together. I absolutely use the tools I was taught by Bob for heeling. My dog is also still in obedience school with another trainer and doesn't need anything Bob has to offer. So, I asked for a refund and he said no. What he did for my dog that day was just look for dogs from customers, pace around the sidewalk and we pretty much just visited. Bob is quite an entertaining guy. This is a picture of Bob's response when I asked for a refund. My response was "Merry Christmas. Keep the money. God Bless." I guess he needs it more than I. Bob knows that standing in front of Petsmart talking and hitting up a few customers is not what got my dog to pass the test. It was hard work for the last 6 months and we have more to go. We are on our way to help those who need a great big dog hug.
