Furry family member feeling more frustrating than fun? 

Embarrassed by your dog or puppy’s behavior in front of family, friends, and neighbors?

A dog that you can’t wait to show off is within your reach! Let me help!

Look forward to Bandaid-free playtime, peaceful cuddles, polite greetings, and tranquil walks.

In-home private dog training or puppy training lessons with The Family Dog Trainer are the perfect way to get there - all in the comfort of your own home (laundry chair, kids diorama, and all!), without an audience.

As a certified professional dog trainer with over a decade of experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, I look forward to working with you and your furry best friend in Lubbock, Texas!

Private Dog Training Lessons

Dog Training

Black, white, and tan Aussie sits and smiles on wood floor.

First dog of your own and you’re hesitant to walk. together after she pulled you off your feet while racing to your neighbor for a full body hello?

First energetic dog that interrupts your morning coffee and crossword puzzle routine with barks and paw scratches, leaving you on edge to start your day?

I value my walks and morning down time too. With in-home private dog training, enjoy walking your dog again with confidence. You’ll stay on two feet and Fluffy will keep four paws on the floor when saying hello to your friends.

“I just had my first enjoyable walk with Birdie on leash! She did so great! We just practiced the eye contact game. Every time she checked in with me, I rewarded her. If she was pulling, I would stop, she would think, and check in with me - redirecting her. It was amazing! It was a MAJOR difference. I'm so grateful. We wouldn't have gotten here without you”

Puppy Training

First puppy in your first place, and suddenly you’re losing sleep over chewed shoes, carpet stains, and losing your deposit?

First puppy since celebrating retirement and you’re questioning the decision, as blood thinners make piranha puppy’s nips look like war wounds?

I’ve been in your shoes and understand the puppy blues. With in-home private puppy training, you will be able to set down that stress, sleep soundly, and savor injury-free time with your new furry family member.

“That puppy biting tip is worth the price of the whole package!”
