BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS .... $300 down the drain and they won't refund or return my calls or texts. In January, I contacted the owner Dean about helping me find a breed of puppy that is hard to find. I told him I'd already done my research and was speaking to a couple of breeders outside Texas and that everyone in Texas does not have any puppies available in the near future. After 2 phone calls, Dean - with his big vibrato, told me he would help me search and find me a puppy for $300 (which would include locating a puppy and a first kennel training session once the puppy is home.) after I paid the $ he went quiet. I only heard from him 1 more time - when I CALLED HIM a week later to ask about any progress. He told me he emailed the 2 breeders I was already in touch with and he had asked around Texas and that there are no puppies available in the near future ( which I had already TOLD HIM.) I contacted the 2 breeders he said he emailed (mostly because I didn't know what he would say and worried his bold personality might be off putting) and they both said they had NOT received any communication from him, at all. So, I gave it a few weeks and decided to text Dean a polite professional text asking for the return of my $300 since he did not in fact do anything. .... His reply... NOTHING ... so I resent the text and called his # and left a message a few days later ... NO REPLY. Dean just ghosted me after he swindled me out of $300. Bad business person, aggressive personality, con man. I do not recommend Dean or Club Canine

This is a story of a girl (me, your 120 pound protagonist… please root for her) who decided to get her dream dog (an 85 pound EUROPEAN doberman). If you are wondering why European is emphasized, just look up a photo of European dobie next to an American dobie, spoiler, europeans are larger which is part of the reason why the girl wanted one…makes perfect sense right? She also didn’t do much other research (despite her parents’ wishes 😉). Brilliant! I think you can tell where this story is going. Anyway, the girl gets the most beautiful perfect European doberman puppy. Awesome! Fast forward 9 months and the girl is being taken on walks by her European doberman PUPPY. Way less awesome! Luckily for you and me, this protagonist is no quitter. She is desperate to find someone ANYONE to help her get control of her beloved dog. Enter hero: Club Canine. ### The story doesn’t have an ending yet, but let me tell you, it’ll be a happy one. When I inquired with Club Canine, I was on vacation and it took me forever to complete the necessary forms. Dean was so patient and worked us into his schedule when I returned home. He did his first home visit with us and at first what he was saying sounded nearly impossible. I have a full time job and a pretty busy life. Dean and the entire Club Canine team encouraged and trained us to get where we are today — almost out of the beginner class! 🥳 What you will find in Club Canine is not just the best dog trainers in Houston. You’ll find friends, community, and support all around. I can’t say enough good things about Club Canine, but if you are even considering pulling the trigger, know this, it’s 10000% worth it. For as long as I’m in Houston, I will be bothering them!!! Shoutout to Dallas for all of the helpful guidance along the way. Also, to Don for being a joy and full of helpful tips! Club Canine is the real deal. If you want to build a strong relationship with your dog and see him or her shine, join the Club!!!

Dean and Dallas at Club Canine truly saved our relationship with our high-drive American Labrador, Zuko. We unknowingly purchased Zuko from a breeder specializing in field trial Labradors, and within just a few months, it became clear that we were in over our heads. Initially, we tried training him with a popular dog trainer in the Heights who used a treat-based reward system. Unfortunately, after more than six months of effort, this method got us nowhere, and Zuko's behavior only deteriorated further. At one point, we even considered rehoming him because he seemed completely uncontrollable. Thankfully, we gave it one last try and found Club Canine. During our initial consultation, Dean managed to calm and settle Zuko for over an hour—a feat we had never seen before. We were immediately convinced. After five months of working with Dean and Dallas, Zuko earned his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title. We continue to train with Club Canine, pursuing advanced certifications and continually improving Zuko's obedience. This program requires a lot of dedication and consistency, but the results are incredibly rewarding. The bond we now share with Zuko is stronger than ever, and the transformation in his behavior has been remarkable.

I’m a big fan of Club Canine. They have done great work and helped me with both JC and Gracie. Dean Miller is legit. He loves dogs and know what they think and how to work with them.

When I first got my dog little by little he started acting out. It got to point that I knew that we needed professional training. Club Canine is no joke. It is not a quick fix but if you are willing to put the work in, you and your dog will come out better in the end. It became such a huge part of our lives that we have stayed on to do more advanced training. Benji and I qualified with perfect scores in Obedience Rally Novice thanks to the hard work from the team at the Club Canine. He also comes twice a week for daycare and boards here for longer times as well. Benji loves it here and I know that when he stays he is comfortable, happy and is still required to follow rules which he definitely needs. Club Canine is like family to us. Thank you all for your guidance over the years.
