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!

I've used both their daycare and boarding services, and I honestly cannot say enough good things…read moreabout the care they provide. My dog knows exactly where we're going when we get in the car, and by the time we arrive, he's practically vibrating with excitement. He runs straight to the door, ready to see his friends and start playing. As a pet parent, there's no better indication of how much a dog loves a place. One of the things I appreciate most is their temperament-testing process. I'll admit, I was a little unsure about it at first, but after seeing how successful their program is, I've become a firm believer. Willow Creek doesn't just put dogs together and hope for the best. They carefully evaluate each dog and group them based on personality, temperament, and activity level. My dog is one of the energetic pups who's always ready to play, and they do a fantastic job making sure he has compatible friends while also ensuring he gets time to rest and recharge. He always comes home happy, fulfilled, and completely exhausted. What really sets Willow Creek apart, though, is how much they genuinely care. The staff know my dog by name and greet him like family every time he arrives. Sure, he's a lovable guy, but that level of personal attention and affection speaks volumes about the culture they've created. I also love the updates and photos they share. Seeing pictures of my dog playing with his friends, enjoying a special treat like doggie ice cream or a donut, and simply having a great time gives me so much peace of mind when I'm away. And I have to mention the baths. Whatever shampoo they use is pure magic. My dog comes home looking great and smelling amazing for weeks afterward. I still haven't figured out their secret! Most importantly, I trust Willow Creek Ranch completely with the care of my dogs. While I usually board the dog I've talked about here, they've also cared for two of my other dogs. No matter the breed, size, or temperament, they've always been willing to work with both the dog and the owner to create a safe, positive experience. That level of dedication is rare. If you're looking for a place where your dog will be cared for, understood, and genuinely loved while you're away, I wholeheartedly recommend Willow Creek Ranch. For us, it's not just a daycare or boarding facility, it's part of our extended family.

I have to give Bob 5 stars for our first lesson that gave my dog a good push for heeling. He was…read morestruggling with this. 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.
