The Disciplined Dog

I had my first dog trained here about 2 years ago. She was my first dog and everything I was trying wasn’t working. I learned so much about how to communicate with her and after only 3 sessions, she was a totally different dog. She was much more confident, obedient, and our bond really grew. Flash forward to now, since my first dog made me want a second (iykyk), I quickly learned how different their personalities were, and my second pup (a rescue) came from a difficult background situation, which came with some concerning behavioral issues. The vet warned us that she might not be a good fit for our family as she got older and bigger. We were afraid that she might end up being a safety liability, but Luke proved us wrong. We are three sessions in and our pup has made a complete 180 and has quickly picked up everything he has taught her (and us). Also, we had made boarding reservations at a different establishment for an upcoming trip that fell through last minute. I called Luke to see if there was an off chance he was able to board and learned he does offer this service! He even went above and beyond to make her stay young puppy friendly. I guarantee he is the most knowledgeable trainer in Lubbock and is so affordable. He obviously loves what he does. Knowing now that he offers boarding services, I plan on bringing my pups here instead of boarding them at a daycare, knowing they will be safe with consistent care, and can have their skills refreshed instead of being turned loose in an overstimulating environment around potentially bad influences. Thank you so much for everything you do!

Richard is amazing! Within 30 minutes of being there he helped me understand how to help my dog learn to be calm. We were able to work on many things that will help when being around people and other dogs. I was able to use those skills with my other dog and walks were so much better the next day! So glad I went and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

We are so thankful to have found Richard at the Disciplined Dog. Our two dogs behaviors have vastly improved in just a couple weeks under Richard’s guidance. Richard is kind, patient, and easy to work with. He helped us understand the psychology of dogs, making us better dog owners. We are so excited to continue our training with him, I am amazed at the progress we have made so far!

Richard has helped me turn a hyperactive Belgian shepherd puppy into an impeccably mannered young service dog. Calm, consistent, incredibly perceptive trainer, and a really nice guy to boot. We look forward to working with him every week.

Richard helped so much with raising our puppy and now is coming up on two years. I remember feeling frustrated with our dog Jack, and Richard was always able to remind me he’s still little and learning. He was always so encouraging that I was doing good with him. I have the most amazing dog I could have ever asked for. People like dogs who can do tricks and stuff, but what my friends and family are amazed by is his attention, eye contact, discipline, and how well he responds to us. Can’t thank Richard enough.
