Dogs benefiting from a Pack Walk at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, Texas

Pflugerville, TX

Effective dog training for both ends of the leash.

Whether you need basic puppy training, help with adolescent dog tomfoolery, reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety/fear/timid behavior, a dog that doesn’t listen, or just basic dog training, we can help you create or change your relationship with your dog today!

The Composed Canine is devoted to helping you enjoy your dog more! Whether you want them to join you for a patio coffee at the local shop, go for an off leash hike, need behavior modification, or education and socialization for your new puppy, The Composed Canine can fill your needs as a dog lover and pet owner.

Dog Training Solutions

The Composed Canine offers tailored training to the specific needs of you and your dog. Each program can be modified to fit the specific needs of you and your dog.

All of our programs begin with a foundation of obedience. Your dog will learn to pay attention to you, even in the presence of distractions like other dogs, people, treats, toys, bunnies, and more.

With a foundation in obedience, we can also work through more serious issues needing behavior modification such as reactivity (when your dog barks at dogs or people), aggression, extreme fear and timidity.

Your Composed Canine - Private Lesson Program

Our private lesson program coaches owners through the step-by-step process of training your dog! We offer the same end goal as our board & train program - an empowered owner and a happy dog who can enjoy adventures together both on and off leash.

This program is great for dogs with or without behavioral problems, including “selective hearing,” reactivity, mild aggression, or general naughtiness.

Your Composed Canine - Elite!

This is our most popular program!

In addition to private lessons, you can drop your dog off at The Composed Canine training facility for Day School where they will have time to work one-on-one with their professional trainer, go on outings, and have video highlights of their training sessions uploaded to the private facebook group so you can see their progress.

Once your dog progresses through the training, we can also take our private lessons out on the town! Common adventures include going to Pfluger Park, The Home Depot, West Pecan Coffee, dog-friendly retail stores in Stonehill, and more!

Board & Train Program

The Composed Canine Board & Train program is our most exclusive program. It is the fastest, most done-for-you program we offer.

Participants stay in my home and accompany me to The Composed Canine training studio on some days. They will join me on adventures around town and practice their obedience in public places with me.

Your dog will learn to live in a calmer state of mind, make better decisions, and look to you for guidance - all while moving at your dog’s pace.

This program is best for owners who have limited time to train their own dog, or if your dog has more severe behavior issues to work through.

Group Obedience Class!

Group Obedience Class is truly one of the best and most effective ways to train your dog because you do the bulk of the training.

The Composed Canine will coach participants through the process of teaching your dog to walk nicely on leash, sit and stay, down and stay, go to and stay on place (bed), and intro to coming when called.

Class size is very limited, so you’ll get plenty of one on one attention while also practicing around other dogs.

Group Obedience Class is best for dogs that are not experiencing issues with aggression.

Our next group class will take place in the Spring of 2025.

Welcome to The Composed Canine!

Are you ready to transform your dog’s behavior? Our dog training programs in Pflugerville are tailored to solve behavior problems and strengthen the bond with your dog. Reach out to us today and let's embark on this journey together so you can begin to enjoy your dog even more tomorrow!

She actually very much wants to talk to you 🤣 but when we're out training, her job is to keep her focus on her obedience and keep attention to me, not interact with everyone passing by. If I were to allow her to greet every stranger and new friend, she would also pull on the leash towards every person we pass, rather than focusing on me. Training is a lifestyle, and despite being an easy, social dog without behavior issues, I still hold her to the same training standard. Her state of mind is calm, happy, and we're able to go on adventures to anywhere. She can still say hi to the occasional stranger, as long as they ask permission first. 🙂
Julie's dog Dude came to us with no manners, and with lots of hard work, we were able to turn him into the perfect gentleman! 🎩 If you've been thinking about doing training with your pup, here's what Julie has to say about it: "Definitely do it.... It's such a small investment to make in the lifetime that you're going to have with your dog." #ClientTestimonial #dogtraining #dogtrainers #pflugervilletx #happydog

Thank you for the love, Amy and Cosmo! "I worked with Meg to help me improve my communication and relationship with my large and often obstinate dog. The foundation she gave to us has made a world of difference. From nutrition, to housing, to activities, and dog psychology - the advice she gave has all provided WAY more value than the cost of her services in our everyday lives. I could not recommend her more highly." - Amy R. and Cosmo #pflugervilletx #thecomposedcandine #clientlove #dogtrainer #dogtraineratx

***not dog training related*** The elephant can symbolize a lot of things: luck, propserity, power, vitality, and wisdom. My favorite symbol that the elephant embodies is perseverance, both physically and mentally. They can use their power to move obstacles and negative forces. So…when I feel overwhelmed, I have a little reminder that all I need to do is what I’ve always done…persevere. One step at a time. I love her!

The crate becomes a reward for the tired dog after a productive working session. When building a routine for a dog, especially in training, I like to take the dog out of confinement to do our training session and when it's over I return them to their kennel to rest and soak up the training session. I also want to feed them *after* training, and after cooling off a bit. Your job doesn't pay you before the work is done, right? #dogtrainingtips #pflugervilledogtrainer #Pflugerville #Georgetown #roundrock

We all want our dogs to be happy and enjoy life. Often times, we ascribe our human versions of that onto our dogs. 🐾 We want them to feel loved so we give them excessive affection. 🐾 We want them to have a good time and run so we let them off leash without a reliable recall. 🐾 We want them to know they have a home so give them access to the whole house and never use a crate There's always a reason we do things and it's not always out of laziness. Often it's just out of wanting to love our dogs and not knowing how to do things differently and in a more productive way or a way that's more meaningful to your dog. Some dogs can handle the freedom, but many can't. They feel like they're in charge of everything, including their own safety and yours. It can feel like Atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulders. To help our dogs live successfully in our human world, training, lifestyle, and owner education on your dog's perspective can help. #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #austindogtrainer #pflugerville #roundrock #hutto

Iroh is here for a board and train and doing GREAT! Within a month of getting adopted, his new owners immediately invested in his training. He's a cutie, but he's also a naughty little thing with a big dog personality. He's now off leash reliable, can walk on leash by your side without pulling, checks in, pays attention, and is becoming quite the joy to be around. One of the top reasons dogs are returned to shelters is because of their before. Often, these naughty behaviors are preventable with quality training. #dogtrainer #dogtrainingvideos #moderndogtraining #dogadvice #dogtrainingadvice#pflugervilledogtrainer #roundrockdogtrainer #austindogs #corgi #papillon
