DOG TRAINING

Book Now!
Dog training is an essential component of owning a furry companion. It works to address the physical and mental needs to create a happy, well behaved pooch. Not only will it help strengthen the ever-evolving bond between you and your canine, but gives them the opportunity they need to spend time with the humans they love the most.

Hi, my name is Ashley Ortiz. I graduated from the University of Texas A&M with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Wildlife Science to learn more about my love for animals. I have always had a passion for helping animals. Growing up, all of my dogs were always seen as part of my family. My love for animal behavior began early on in my life, but really took off when I began training my personal pets. By measuring each dog’s temperament, I have helped teach manners and basic obedience skills while being able to gain the trust of both dogs and owners. Through trust, I have built confidence in even the most unconfident dogs. Working with dogs and teaching clients how to reinforce good behavior truly brings me a sense of joy and fulfillment to my life to the point where I am sitting for my CPDT-KSA and will continue by education with the CPDT-KA.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I chose this place due to the fact that they have years of experience with rescues. I have an ORNERY 9 year old english mastiff who had never been boarded before this year. I knew it would take a special group of people to work with her as she is very skeptical of new places and new people. I know it hasn't been easy to deal with her (even though i have never heard a negative comment from a staff member), but yet they always say they cant wait to have her back.They could've easily sent us down the road. Instead, they spend time building the relationship with her and figure out what works for her. They now reserve her own special kennel, wash her blankets for pick up day and truly make us feel like VIP. To say the least, they have surpassed all expectations. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Gina and her staff."
