Our Services

At Texas K9 Companions, we know every dog and every owner is different. That’s why we begin each program with a thorough evaluation — not just of the dog, but of the handler too. We take a customizable, client-focused approach to training that’s based on real needs, not one-size-fits-all packages. Whether you're dealing with behavior challenges, starting out with a puppy, or preparing a service dog, we tailor every step to your situation. Our Puppy Foundation & Prep program is designed to give young dogs the best start, covering potty training, structure, socialization, vet care tips, and the common pitfalls to avoid. While we offer a wide range of services to meet various needs, we’re not for everyone. We focus on clear communication, purpose-driven training, and building lasting results through partnership.

Puppy Foundation and Prep

Set your puppy up for success with our 4-session program (plus 1 Zoom follow-up), completed over 6 weeks. We cover potty training, crate routines, early structure, and safe socialization — while imprinting the joy of learning, introducing basic motor skills, and creating healthy habits from day one. Foundational skills are the key to building a strong, lasting, and unbreakable relationship between you and your dog.

This $375 value is currently offered at $325 for a limited time. A strong foundation now leads to a lifetime of success.

The Core Companion Program

Our most popular training option, this well-rounded course offers broad coverage for owners looking to establish a solid foundation in basic obedience and structure. It includes 8 in-person sessions and 2 Zoom check-ins, completed over a 10-week period.

We focus on essential skills like leash manners, crate training, household structure, and the proper introduction to the e-collar — used as a clear communication tool, not a punishment device. We also begin addressing behavioral concerns, handler confidence, and proofing your dog in real-world environments beyond the home.

The goal is to create a calm, neutral, and responsive dog who can thrive at home, in public, and around distractions. This is the ideal starting point for lasting success.

Total Cost: $675

Companion Board & Train

Our most immersive training experience, the Board & Train program is for owners who want real results without the daily workload. Programs range from 2 to 8 weeks, depending on your dog’s needs — whether you're looking for a strong foundation or a fully finished companion.

Each program includes 2 private handler sessions for every 2 weeks of training, plus a lifetime of consults to support your long-term success. We cover obedience from basic to advanced, public behavior, confidence building, and desensitization to fireworks, gunfire, loud noises, and other real-world stressors. All necessary equipment is included.

What sets our Board & Train apart? We only accept two dogs at a time. This isn’t a kennel full of chaos — it’s a hands-on, deeply immersive experience. Your dog lives and trains alongside ours, in the same structured environment, and is treated as part of the team. During their stay, your dog becomes ours — receiving the same attention, clarity, and care we give our own dogs.

As part of your dog's evaluation, we learn about your lifestyle — whether you enjoy camping, travel, or have specific routines. Then we prep your dog for those real-life experiences, from reactivity to novelty. If needed, we’ll even take your dog camping to ensure they learn how to calmly navigate unfamiliar settings without fear or confusion.

At the end of your program, we don’t just hand you a trained dog — we hand you peace of mind.

Pricing starts at $1,200 and scales based on length and goals. Contact us for a custom evaluation.

Custom One on One Sessions

Sometimes you don’t need a full program — just focused help on a specific issue. These sessions are tailored to your dog’s needs, whether it's leash pulling, reactivity, recall, crate struggles, or confidence building.

We also offer refresher sessions, competition prep, and spotter support — giving real-time feedback on handler mechanics, positioning, and timing to help you fine-tune before trials or testing.

Flexible and effective, available as single sessions or short custom series.

Starting at $95/session. Contact us to schedule.

Custom Support Options

Service Dog Training

Our service dog program is small, selective, and highly personalized. We train only one to two dogs per year, ensuring each dog and client get the time and attention they deserve.

Not every dog or client qualifies. We follow a strict evaluation process and adhere to high behavioral and task-based standards. Service dogs must have strong nerves, stable temperament, and be capable of performing specific tasks to assist with a disability.

We can help evaluate your current dog or assist in sourcing one, but only a small percentage of dogs are suited for this work.

> Note: Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) and therapy dogs are not service dogs.

Service dogs are task-trained working animals protected under the ADA — not just well-behaved pets or companions.

K9 Support for Veterans

Our K9 Veteran Support Program is built on one core belief: we believe in giving back to those who gave so much. Through structured training and partnership with a dog, veterans can regain clarity, confidence, and purpose — one rep at a time.

Success depends on the partnership between the veteran and the dog, and we’re here to guide that journey every step of the way. Whether it’s basic obedience, behavior work, or simply building a bond, our focus is always on trust, structure, and healing.

We’re currently working on building a dedicated retreat where veterans and their K9s can rehabilitate together — in a non-judgmental space designed to support growth, recovery, and connection. Dogs offer powerful therapy, and this program is built to honor that gift.

More Ways We Can Help

In addition to training, we offer a range of services designed to support handlers, dogs, and the lifestyle that comes with both. These options can be added to a training program or scheduled individually.

Dog transportation (regional or long-distance)

Dog sourcing & acquisition support (pet, service, or working dogs)

Boarding for active and past training clients

Trusted veterinary and holistic care referrals

Nationwide travel available for clients needing out-of-state training support

Pop-up group classes and workshops

> “We don’t host regular group classes, but we offer occasional pop-up events such as e-collar clinics, obedience and reactivity sessions, social neutrality work, and the occasional pack walk.”

"The connection between a well-trained dog and their handler is built on trust, not control — and that’s what makes it unbreakable."
