I would highly recommend Liz Kelly with Texas K-9 Academy. Liz has worked with my labs Izzie and Zena and taught them and us so much. She is always responsive and I trust her completely to take the best care if my dogs possible while they are with her for board and train.

My Vizsla puppy (upland dog) spent 4 months with Liz. Liz did a great job. She came back doing retrieves, water retrieves, sit, here, kennel trained, off, etc. I would totally recommend her!
Liz was great with our adopted 1 year old female black mouth cur Roxie. Liz took the time to come to our home to see Roxie interact with her new family. Liz did a great job teaching our new family member how to behave appropriately in the house and out side. I definitely recommend her talents for your training needs.

I brought my chocolate lab puppy who at the time was 10 weeks old. My pup had shown 0 interest in retrieving and never thought about picking anything up at all. Given she is supposed to be my hunting partner I was concerned. I contacted Liz and she said she would be happy to help. I picked my dog up last Saturday (after 2 months). She is now retrieving like a 9 month old who's been in training its whole life. When I took her to her formal duck trainer he wanted to see what she knew. He praised my dog constantly saying how incredible it was that a 4 month old pup could retrieve the way she was and that she was well beyond her age in ability. I chalked it all up to Liz. She also did the potty training and all the other good stuff, but her ability to bring out the best of a retriever is incredible.
Liz is amazing! She helped transform our very fearful rescue lab into a wonderful, happy-go-lucky family dog. We HIGHLY recommend her obedience training. This was a 4-week class that taught us as much as it did our dog. (And did I mention that she comes to your house for training?) Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't say to us, "what a good dog." She is our dream dog thanks to Liz.
