Mutts with Manners is a team of three friends with over 30 years of combined experience in the zoo industry. Our goal is to share our expertise and teach you the secrets of successful animal training.
As co-owners and dog trainers, we believe in using positive reinforcement to train animals, ensuring safe, kind, and gentle techniques. Our training philosophy is simple: Keep it Pawsitive!
We offer basic obedience classes for puppies and adult dogs, focusing on essential behaviors such as sit, down, stay, come, leave it, walking on a leash, and a 'fun trick.'
For more advanced training, we work on off-leash walking, remaining calm in public settings, and more. Additionally, we provide specialized classes like Pet Therapy training, where you and your dog will learn how to handle clumsy petting and exposure to equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, IV stands, and more.
We also conduct agility classes to help fine-tune existing behaviors or troubleshoot any issues that may have arisen. Our services include board and trains, group classes, and private lessons, either at your location or ours.
You can find more information about us on our website at www.muttswithmanners.com.
We are excited to serve you and your canine companions in Galveston County, including Galveston, Kemah, Texas City, League City, Webster, and Dickinson.
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
