Tailored Training to get you the results you’re looking for.
Take a breath, I’m here to help.
Core Skills Taught in Every Program
My goal isn’t just to train your dog—I want to help you build a strong partnership where you and your dog communicate clearly and confidently.
Every program teaches essential skills, including:
✔ Off-leash reliability – So your dog comes when called, no matter the environment
✔ Loose-leash walking – Enjoy stress-free walks without pulling
✔ Sit, down, place & stay – Helping your dog settle and hold positions when needed
✔ Manners – Polite behavior at home and in public
✔ Play – Strengthening engagement and relationship-building through structured play
Each program varies in one-on-one training time with our trainers, but all programs include:
✔ Access to our VIP Facebook group – Ongoing support from trainers and fellow dog owners
✔ Google Drive with explainer videos – Step-by-step guides on key training concepts
✔ Video critiques – Send us clips of your training for feedback
✔ Written lesson recaps – Easy-to-follow summaries so you always know what to work on
We’re committed to helping you succeed, and in some cases, we can customize programs to fit your dog’s unique needs.

Day School Immersion
Want a well-trained dog but don’t have the time to do all the work yourself? Jump start your dog’s training with the Day School Immersion program.
Your dog will attend training Tuesday through Friday for a minimum of two weeks, where they’ll work directly with a professional trainer at The Composed Canine Training Studio. Each Friday evening, you’ll join a lesson to learn how to maintain and build on the skills your dog is learning. Your job will be to practice at home between sessions!
Once the day training portion is complete, you’ll move on to Polishing Classes to continue refining and advancing your dog’s new skills.
In the Jump Start Program, your dog will learn to:
✔️ Come when called, every time
✔️ Walk nicely by your side with a loose leash
✔️ Sit & stay
✔️ Down & stay
✔️ Go to a designated place (cot or dog bed) and stay there – a client favorite!
✔️ Pay attention to you in real-world settings so adventures are a breeze!
If your dog struggles with more serious concerns such as fear, phobias, compulsive behaviors, or aggression, we highly recommend scheduling a behavioral consultation. We have successfully helped many dogs through structured programs that incorporate obedience training, counter-conditioning, and desensitization to create a calmer, more confident companion.
Now taking applications for our next round of classes beginning April 15th!
Feisty Fido Program
How It Works
This program is structured to set your dog up for success by first working in a one-on-one setting before progressing to real-world distractions and socialization.
1️⃣ Private Lessons (Required Start)
We begin with private lessons so you can learn essential handling skills and your dog can start training in a controlled, low-pressure environment. We focus on:
✔ Building engagement – Teaching your dog to focus on you, even around distractions
✔ Obedience skills – Loose-leash walking, place training, sit, down, and stay
✔ Behavior modification – Helping your dog learn better ways to handle stress and uncertainty
✔ Confidence-building exercises – Introducing positive experiences that reshape their mindset
2️⃣ Optional Immersion Program (Day School Intensive)
Once we’ve established a foundation, your dog can progress to our Day School Intensive, where they will work hands-on with our trainers for structured training days.
✔ Minimum 2 consecutive weeks – Focused training to help reinforce and strengthen new behaviors
✔ Real-world practice – Controlled exposure to distractions, other dogs, and social settings
✔ Confidence & self-regulation – Helping your dog learn to make better choices
✔ Owner education – Ongoing coaching so you feel prepared to continue progress at home
At the end of the program, we’ll schedule a follow-up lesson to ensure you and your dog are set up for continued success.
Board & Train
Board & Train options are available on a case by case basis. We do offer a traditional 3 week board and train, or shorter options as a jump start for those who are not able to bring their dog to day school or are traveling and would like to board their dog with me. I take no more than one dog at a time and they stay with me in my home. They do NOT stay overnight at The Composed Canine.

Hi! I’m Meg and I own The Composed Canine in Pflugerville, TX. I’m a Navy Veteran and graduate of The University of Texas. I’m married to the Best Husband Ever, and I enjoy lifting heavy, CrossFit, and making people laugh.
I started in dog training with a degree in Google University when I adopted my reactive border collie, Emma, in 2011. Pro tip: Google is NOT helpful to solve your dog training and behavior problems. In 2015 after graduating college, I hired my first dog trainer and discovered how empowering it can be to help my dog after years of struggling together.
In 2019 I opened The Composed Canine and in 2024 expanded to a physical location so I could have a centralized location to help more people.
It’s been a heck of a journey but it is so incredibly rewarding to get to help people who struggled like I did.
