Best Dog Handlers In Dallas Near Me

4worldlovers:
If your dog is ever barking, jumping, pulling, biting, chewing, peeing, hyper, anxious, aggressive, fearful, stressed or disobedient, you've come to the right place!


Looking for real results? You need more than basic commands. You need a dog that trusts and obeys you in any environment regardless of breed, age or history.


`` Yep. Exactly as good as the reviews. My dogs were totally different after just one session, and unrecognizable after two. It’s hard work, but if you take the lessons and apply them they work like a charm. I’m happy to really enjoy my fur babies’ company again. Thanks Preston!

`` Preston was able to get not only one, but all 3 of my dogs to stop barking at EVERY little thing. I had a newborn at the time, and he was able to make our lives so much easier in only a couple hours! I had been struggling to sleep and when I could finally relax it seemed like something would always set my dogs off. Once the little one would start barking then the other big ones had to join in. Now they are all respectful and calm! Highly recommend his services.

`` I cannot say enough good things. We have an english bulldog who has never gotten along with other dogs. We wanted to foster given that Dallas shelters are putting down dogs but as soon as we got a foster he could be in the same room as our bully. We thought we would have to find him a new foster which was heartbreaking because he is such a sweet and friendly dog. This was our last hope, and boy did it work. Within 1 hour of coming our two dogs are sleeping in the same room! I don't know how to describe how grateful we are! We will definitely be booking a follow up session


`` We just finished our second session with Preston, and we are incredibly pleased with the results. Our 7 month old German shepherd has learned quickly, and we have learned how to teach her properly. Preston not only worked with our dog, but he taught us how to work with her and continue to teach her. These sessions have made a huge difference, and I strongly recommend DFW K9 Trainer.

`` Preston is a dog behaviorist. We had our kids Maltese mix staying with us for 8 weeks. He would bark and jump and aggressively chew toys and destroy them. ONE session with Preston and his mannerisms completely changed. He is much more chill and doesn't destroy toys and doesn't bark at us. My kids are constantly calling us and telling us that this was the best gift we have ever given them. He does this in 1 to 2 sessions. Our 1 year old needed just one. He helps you understand your dog's needs.


`` It is difficult to put into words the success we have had with Preston regarding our three dogs. I cannot even begin to tell you the copious amount of money spent in the past on training, collars, leashes, etc. It’s almost embarrassing. We found Preston on Nextdoor a year ago, but did not look him up until a few months ago. We had one of our rescues bite someone while leaving doggy day camp and another exhibit dog agression. And because, we love our dogs dearly we looked Preston up. I thought what can it hurt to try one more trainer? We just want our dogs to be the best they can be. Before, we were taking all three to doggy day care 3-5 days a week to run off energy and now they only go to be boarded when we are out of town! We walk all three of them with loose leashes twice a day, past other dogs, cats, squirrels...and their ears are back, mouths open and totally relaxed. They are so much more tired and fulfilled than they ever were going to day care. Thank you Preston for your intuition and understanding of our dogs and letting us know that all dogs are not equal and each need to be addressed individually. If you need proof? Just look at me walking all three of our pit bulls on his Instagram site. I’m the one walking a calm red pit, a white pit and a gray pit past a barking and lunging dog pass is across the street. Thank you Preston for the gift that you have shared with us. You are truly a blessing...

4worldlovers: Hi! I Am Lauren The Traveling Dog Trainer and growing up with dogs I found I had a natural ability to communicate with them. My parents had no experience with dog training and therefore never exposed me to it, yet at seven years old in Louisiana I taught my border collie mix to Sit and Shake her paw. In Scotland at 11 years old, I taught our family Yorkshire Terrier to Sit, Down, and walk off leash with me. In college I claimed the family Beagle for myself and taught her off leash obedience and she learned a vocabulary of over 100 words in her lifetime. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a BS in Wildlife & Fisheries Sciences in the option of Natural Resource Collections & Museums. This education provided me the science behind behavior and learning from classes like ethology. Once I was settled in Dallas, in 2005 I began my professional career as a dog trainer and behaviorist after my friends and family continually sought my help with their own dogs. Since then I have professionally trained hundreds of dogs from over 149 breeds, the smallest being a 1.5lb Yorkie, the largest a 180lb Great Dane.


I have learned from and practiced several training methods with my own dogs and clients', having hired a private dog trainer for one of my own personal dogs, then taking him to an agility class, and also working part-time as a Pet Trainer at a big box store in the past. My Loose Leash Logic is a blend of the best of all worlds as I am not bound by any corporate or franchise restrictions, so what I bring to your dog is particularly suited to his unique personality. My passion is making lives better for people and their dogs, and I am always researching and expanding my training knowledge to ensure the easiest learning experience for you and your dog!

Growing up, I do not have a single memory of life without dogs. We have always been a dog family. My first ever dog was a black lab,Eli. I was naturally drawn to the “why” whenever Eli did something, or he learned something. Throughout his early years, training with him was my favorite pastime. Starting out as a client at Sit Means Sit, I was intrigued how every command learned was a process, in order to achieve maximum success. From there the chance to become involved in this company seemed like a natural fit for me!

Originally from Rhode Island, I’ve been with Sit Means Sit Dallas since our family relocated to Texas. Grew up loving animals and worked as a Vet Tech which enabled me to learn a lot of skills that help with training.

I’ve always loved animals. Ever since I was a child I had wanted to be a vet, unfortunately, as a child I was never allowed to have a dog. I was so happy when I was finally able to have my own dog, Samantha a Terrier Mix.
