Man's Best Friend - Houston

My dog was there for four weeks of boarded training and I purchased the lifetime maintenance package as well but never returned. If they can't train a dog for common behavioral issues at a young age (1 year) in four weeks time on-site then what's the point of going back? I wasted all that money entirely. Caveat emptor, big time.

i had my dog trained quite some time ago, (a few years ago even) and it completely slipped my mind that i can leave a review. Firstly i want to say, that the staff were nice and Corrigall, they had a good front store manner, however i cannot suggest the business for one simple reason. I took my Chocolate Labrador here, and we specifically told the staff that we didn't want choke collars or shock collars, and that was understood. When we completed the training, it was to our surprise that we found out that they used a Metal 'Pinch collar' on her to get her to obey their commands. she wasn't trained, she was turned into a circus animal. (By which she immediately backslid because you don't train a dog with force.) I have since trained her myself and she is obedient and compliant without use of cruel and forceful means. Things may have changed, and for the sake of humane animal treatment i hope it did. I'm well aware that they train aggressive dogs here, but our case was different. Our dog was a Chocolate Labrador retriever with PIKA (a anxiety disorder where she compulsively chews on things such as socks etc. this is fixed by dog toy association, and verbal correction), as well

My dogs have been boarding at Mans Best Friend for years whenever I have to go out of town. The staff is always really pleasant and the dogs have a great time and come home exhausted from playing. Their groomer does a great job and their prices are very reasonable.

We have been taking our German Shepard puppy to Man’s Best Friend for obedience training and have been having a great experience so far. We did not have previous experience before dog training and didn’t want our puppy to be uncontrollable. Jerry is extremely knowledgeable and has helped us navigate the behaviors our puppy is developing through a balance of proper correction and praise. Our puppy Marlo is becoming such a good companion thanks to the help of Jerry and staff. Highly recommend choosing Man’s best friend for training.
