Training for you and your dog!
Trainer Schools
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in our professional dog trainer's programs. Well-trained dog trainers seem to be in more demand each and every year, training dogs for all types of work including Police K-9, Narcotics, Search and Rescue, Personal Protection, Arson, AKC competition, dogs for service work including dogs for the handicapped and the hearing impaired, as well as training Fido to be a well-mannered household pet. Our goal is to provide you with the necessary knowledge to help you reach your goal of becoming a knowledgeable dog trainer.
Canine Academy Training Center is located in Leander, Texas, a small community
just northwest of Austin, and only minutes away from beautiful Lake Travis. Our
central training site is situated on eleven oak-covered acres. Canine Academy
Training Center is a complete training facility, training dogs for the general
public.
As a member of our class, you will be involved in one on one training with our highly qualified instructors. Almost everything is taught through actual working conditions. We believe that people generally learn more quickly by the hands-on approach rather than textbook knowledge. Our program is structured to insure you get the best possible understanding of the training methods being used. What better way to learn the training techniques than by putting them to immediate use!
During your stay at Canine Academy Training Center, you will not only learn to train dogs, but you will also learn the ins and outs of kennel management. We will show you how to get your kennel up and running as quickly as possible. Our training staff is available to answer any questions you might have regarding how to start your own training program.
We invite you to bring two dogs of your own to train while at the Academy. There are motels in the area and apartments and condos at the lake are available on a short-term basis. We will be happy to help you with your housing needs.
