AUSTIN'S PREMIER
DOG TRAINING ACADEMY

The Austin Canine Academy specializes in teaching dogs and their owners to master effective communication with each other. Communication is a two-way street, and our proven techniques are designed to educate both owners and their dogs. Our curriculum moves owners and dogs through shared tasks and experiences, so that they learn and progress in their roles together.

We combine established methods with modern expertise rooted in behavioral science, constantly growing and improving our training through continued research and education.

JORDAN ROHR

Obedience 101

"Nick trained all 3 of my unruly dogs. He taught me how to lead my dogs so they would not only listen to me, but become calmer and less anxious. It’s so nice having trained dogs that we can truly enjoy. Highly recommend!"

MARCO MOYA

AP Obedience

"Nick and Kory helped get my house in order after we adopted a puppy who quickly took over our lives. Drake was high energy, rude, and too embarrassing to take places. AP Obedience changed how we live with our dog. He's happier and so are we."

BARBARA BURLESON

AP Obedience

"I hired Nick after rescuing a 6 yr old 100lb female German Shepherd with absolutely no skills with humans or other animals and no leash experience. After a month, I now have a dog partner I can take anywhere; stores, restaurants, hikes."

TRICKS VS. OBEDIENCE

“Do they do any tricks?” This will be everyone’s first question after finding out you have a trained dog.

IT'S SIMPLE, JUST LISTEN.

Learning to “listen” to your pet is a crucial skill that often get's overlooked by owners.

CLARITY IS KIND!

Well trained dogs hear, understand, and obey quickly, but being clear is so much more than that.
