WHO ARE THE BEST DOG TRAINERS IN HOUSTON?
Off Leash K9 Training Houston is home to some of Houston's best-rated dog trainers, led by owner and Master Dog Trainer Justin Rie — a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. The team holds a 4.8-star rating across 296 Google reviews and specializes in 95% off-leash obedience, board & train, and aggressive-dog rehabilitation across Greater Houston, having trained 500+ Houston dogs since 2010.
DISCIPLINE MEETS DEVOTION.
Our team is led by owner and Master Dog Trainer Justin Rie, who brings the same discipline, structure, and follow-through he learned in the U.S. Marine Corps to every dog we train — paired with the patience and warmth Houston families feel the moment they meet us.
We didn't build our reputation on gimmicks. We built it one transformed dog at a time — the reactive rescue that can finally walk past other dogs, the 90-pound "wild child" that now heels off-leash, the anxious pup that learned to settle. That's how a team earns 296 five-star reviews.
Off Leash K9 Training Houston is part of the national Off Leash K9 Training network founded by Nick White — bringing elite, balanced training to every corner of Greater Houston.
NOT JUST COMMANDS. CONTROL.
Most Houston classes teach "sit" for a treat indoors. Our trainers build a dog that listens off-leash, around real-world distractions — the squirrel on the trail, the guest at the door, the kids in the yard.
Our method is balanced and humane: positive reinforcement to teach, clear communication and modern e-collar conditioning to make it reliable everywhere. Never harsh, never a gimmick — just results that hold up in real life, backed by a lifetime refresher guarantee.
Credentials: led by a Master Dog Trainer certified through the Off Leash K9 Training network and an AKC Canine Good Citizen Certified Evaluator.
WHAT OUR TRAINERS SPECIALIZE IN.
From first commands to serious behavior cases — and every high-drive breed in between.
