FirstBarkMia girl did their 3 week board & train when she was about 7 months old and let me tell you… it was the BEST decision I have ever made! Both for me and for Mia. They are incredible. Mia kept her personality that I loved but drastically improved her obedience and confidence. Would recommend them to ANYONE! Thank you Mission Critical!

About Mission Critical Dog Training
Lauren & Wesley started their dog training path in the United States Air Force, where they were both Military Working Dog Trainers. After serving for 10 years they left the Air Force & took the skills they learned to the private security industry where they work with Explosive Detection K9’s to protect the public at Dallas Stars games, Dallas Mavericks games & concerts at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. In recent years, they began to share their love for dog training by using it to help the wonderful citizens of the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. They both love to see the progression and transformation that dog’s & their owners make with their motivational training methods. - Transforming Dogs, Empowering Owners-

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you offer payment plans for the boarding and train program?
Yes. We require 50% payment at time of booking and the remaining balance to be paid when you pick up your pet.

Will I be able to visit my dog during the boarding and train program?
We do not recommend this as it is confusing to the dog. It is essential that we establish a bond with your dog in order to establish a happy learning environment. Visits from the owner can impede and delay this process.

Where will my dog be staying during the board and train program?
While your dog is with us, we will mimic their home lifestyle as close as possible and they will be a part of our family. Down time in a kennel is part of the training process. Once your dog is comfortable with our process, they will be exposed to other dogs. There will be social time and play.

What if my dog forgets all his training and I wasted my money?
Your dog WILL forget if you don't practice. If you do not do maintenance work, your dog's focus will get rusty. Luckily, we provide you with all the exercises you will need to keep your relationship with your dog.

How will I learn to maintain the progress you've made with my dog?
When your dog is trained, our job is only halfway done. We then will train you so you can continue the work and reap the benefits of a great dog-owner partnership.

Will my dog remember me when he/she comes back from the 3 week board and train program?
Yes, absolutely! The gift of communication you are giving them will only enhance your relationship and solidify your bond through clarity. We will educate you on how a dog thinks and teach you to accelerate the bond with your dog.

I can't give enough stars to Lauren and Wes - Mission Critical! When we adopted our latest rescue pup, he was hyper and did not listen to his new mom and dad... After a couple of weeks of training, he was a different and more well behaved dog. He now gets along so much better with our other pup and we really enjoy him. They really KNOW what they are doing and I love that their children are also involved in the training. When we leave town, we board with them and don't worry a bit. If you need help with your dog's behavior, don't hesitate to call them. You won't be disappointed!
Lauren & Wes did a great job with our 6 month old mini Aussie Scarlet- our main goal was a solid recall, accomplished! We appreciate the support they provided to help us transition back home successfully!
Great experience and taught us a lot. Would definitely recommend to friends.

So we rescued a large 70+ lbs, 10 month old Pitty mix puppy from Dallas Animal Services, brought him home and he was wild!! I found Lauren and Mission Critical Dog Training online and loved their background and reviews. Bram went from dragging me across the street after squirrels to a puppy that would walk next to me. This was huge! We are even boarding Bram at Mission Critical while we are out of town so that he can continue to grow and learn how to be a happy well adjusted puppy. We are so grateful that they not only train him but Lauren has taught us as well. I can’t recommend them enough!
