I can't say enough good things about Michael and his team. The training for our dog, Buddy, was fabulous. We adopted Buddy when he was a year old. We discovered he was deaf. His six week training at Lavaca River Ranch made he a more confident and calm dog. He heals at our side and stops/sits when we stop then goes when we go. Because he is deaf, he knows to walk when we lead with our left foot and he stays if we lead with our right. He will stay in place for an hour or more until he is called which is through a vibrating collar. People are amazed at his transformation. I had an event recently with a lot of people and animals. I had Buddy sit and stay, and he did it with ease. Of course he lies down when he is staying in place for a while. When we used to leave him at home, he'd get a little nervous; now he just goes and sleeps in his favorite stop until we return. I highly recommend Lavaca River Ranch Dog Training.
Great facilities top shelf crew and great hunting. Pheasant chukkar partridge and quail duck hunting is fantastic did I mention great views.

Just wanted to express my gratitude to Micheal and the team at Lavaca River Ranch. Lucy’s progress in just two months was amazing to see. Micheal was able to understand the problems I was having with her, and they were addressed perfectly. The facilities are immaculate, safe, and clean. Along with the constant picture/video updates, I had a great peace of mind that my best bud was safe and happy. Can’t recommend this team enough to train or board your dog.
Ive had two dogs with Michael and it has been nothing but great having him work with my dogs. I will continue to recommend the Lavaca River ranch for all dog training needs
