Dog Trainer Houston – Shelmar Kennels

Shelmar Kennels offer a unique “In Our Home’ dog trainer Houston system of board and train (or puppy boot camp as some of our clients like to call it!)

We train your dog – in our own home. Yes – they actually live in our house with us!

When in a dog training program your pup will live, stay and hang out in our own home while being trained on all the issues you are having as well as making them fun pets to own.

It’s the absolute best way we have found to train a dog for your house. By training them in our house.

Consider this – when looking for a dog trainer

• How well will a dog learn just basic commands in a kennel?
• Will those commands convert to living in your home?
• We have found the answer to both these questions to be NO!
• That’s why we changed from being a ‘kennel’. Training dogs that will live with us in our home solves the problems that a ‘kennel’ never could.

Playing outside in the yard

If your pup barks

If your pup barks at 2am – we can’t sleep…so that behavior is corrected.

Our puppy boot camp system taught by top Houston dog trainer Martin and Shelly Bell – makes the transition from training, back to you and your family, simple.

IMAGINE having a dog that loves to simply hang out with you in the house – that knows his place and can be relaxed while you work around the house, cook dinner or watch TV.

A dog that when you take them outside will walk effortlessly on the lead with you at heel, a dog that will never jump on you and your guests and never bolts out the door! Imagine a dog that never runs away and will listen to you even through distraction.

That’s our goal as dog training Houston TX providers, to give you – our clients – more from your dog!
