Helping ordinary people have extraordinary dogs.

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 (such as 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.

Day School Jump Start Program

This program is best for owners who don’t have much time to dedicate to training their dog and want some of the heavy lifting done for them, but don’t want to send their dog away for long weeks of a board & train.

Day School starts with 2 weeks of Day School, where you’ll drop your dog off in the morning and pick them up in the evening. Some evenings will have lessons for you to learn what your dog is learning.

This program is best for naughty dogs without severe reactivity or aggression.

Now booking for July 8th start!

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.

Next Group Obedience Class begins July 23rd! Spots are limited to 6.

We had our first Coffees and Canines on Saturday morning! If you dream of having a patio pup or being able to enjoy social gatherings with your dog, this opportunity is great practice for everyone who has completed an adult program with us. #austindogtrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainer #pflugerville #pflugervilkedogs #roundrock

Max the Irish Setter is going to live his absolute best life being reliable off leash, and knowing to come when called 10/10 times. After finishing up his puppy program, we were able to jump right into teaching him the e-collar and foundational obedience. #ecollar #offleash #irishsetter #moderndogtraining #pflugerville #roundrock #hutto #dogtra #positivedogtraining

Note that June's pack walk is at an earlier time due to the summer heat. It'll still be worth coming out because I don't plan to tame the bird's nest on my head, nor put war paint on my face. And also because your dog will thank you for the fun morni

Building a foundation of owner engagement, communication, and focus is an important part of any dog training program. It gives us something to build on and a way to "talk" with our dogs. Today Chewie and Foxie began their journey to learn how to pay attention to their owners, and that the burden of responsibility of keeping their home safe from the Boogie Man is not their burden to bear. Can't wait to share their progress over the next few weeks! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #pflugerville #roundrock #hutto #behaviormodification #dogsofinstagram

Crash has been my buddy since...2016 or so? He was a part of a crew of dogs that aren't all with us anymore. Rumour was super young during those times, and it was fun letting them run around in the dog yard together yesterday. The last picture was taken in 2017 or 18, and is now on the light switches when you first walk in to my training studio. Thank you @abbdogtraining for the absolute best day yesterday ❤️
Working on some drills to build Blue's focus on me before taking a walk around the building. She's looking pretty good! You can do this at home, too. Before going for a walk around the block, do some about turns. Reward your dog when they pay attention to you. That can be with food or even a bit of praise language and a pat on the head. Dog training isn't always sexy, but it sure is nice to build a dog up to focus on you when out and about. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips

The art of doing nothing is one of the most vital skills for your dog to learn. Not only for their own mental health, but for your own sanity as well. That "crazy," "high energy" dog absolutely needs exercise, but they also need to learn how to be calm. Next time your dog is acting wild, put on their leash and sit on it. You can read a book, doom scroll your phone, or watch an episode of The Office. Hang for 30 minutes and see what happens. Then do it again the next day. #dogtrainer #dogtrainingvideos #moderndogtraining #dogadvice #dogtrainingadvice#pflugervilledogtrainer #roundrockdogtrainer #austindogs
Building impulse control on the place board 💪 Charlie is here on our Day Camp program learning manners, confidence building, loose leash walking, and more! #bernadoodle #dogtrainer #dogtrainingvideos #moderndogtraining #dogadvice #dogtrainingadvice#pflugervilledogtrainer #roundrockdogtrainer #austindogs
Day Campers are all out and working! Everyone practices impulse control on their place boards while I work dogs individually. It helps them get used to staying calm and relaxed when seeing other dogs, and the dog who is in an active training session practices listening to the handler when other dogs are around. Very happy with their progress. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #austindogtrainer #pflugerville #roundrock #hutto
