Green Timber Training & Kennels

I am happy to share a well-deserved review of the pet training program that did wonders for my daughter's dog, Cooper. Choosing Green Timber, despite the weekly commute from Corpus Christi to Houston, turned out to be the best decision to actively stay involved in his training and his future success.

Cooper's transformation has been remarkable, all thanks to JR. We are excited for the future as our daughter continues her veterinary studies in Tennessee, with Cooper as a well-behaved Aussie hiking buddy and faithful companion. When we dropped off our high-energy, curious 5 month old puppy, we had no idea what to expect. However, when we picked him up, we were amazed! Cooper had transformed into a well-mannered dog who now understands key commands, that will help further his growth and allow him to enjoy his new home in Tennessee to the fullest.

There is no doubt that we could have made this progress and transition without the guidance of JR. We look forward to his continued growth and, we are confident that with ongoing reinforcement, he will be a significant part of my daughter's planned outings and excursions.

The kennels and grounds of this training program were absolutely amazing and deserving of a 5 star rating. Cooper felt right at home in their clean, comfortable and well-maintained facility. The training sessions were a mix of fun with other dogs and learning. JR and Diane were an absolute joy to work with—pleasant, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their work and evident in the care of all the pets boarding and/or training at their facility.

We wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone looking to transform their pet's behavior and look forward to sharing Cooper’s life in Tennessee as she now feels more prepared to take the reins and continue to reinforce the work that JR and Diane did with him.

Thank you again for accommodating Cooper!

Grateful,

I cannot say enough amazing things about JR and Green Timber Kennels and Training. We have 2 Basset Hounds and we were lucky enough to receive Koko, a hyper, crazy, happy chocolate lab- talk about complete opposites! We were wanting the best training for her and were told about JR. After speaking with him (before we were even clients!), he was kind enough to give us some tips and tricks along with answering questions about this, what seemed to be, out of control puppy. When we took Koko to him for training, he explained the process that he uses, what he does, and sent us photos to help make our son feel comfortable with Koko being there as well. He was so patient with our son, teaching him everything that he was doing with her and why. He made all of us feel comfortable and Koko learned quickly with his methods. JR says that a trained dog is a confident dog, but we also think that he helped us become more confident with her, training us as well!

After having JR work with Koko, we will be taking any dogs we might get in the future to him without hesitation. His kennels are neat, clean, and well maintained. We HIGHLY recommend JR to everyone for both boarding and training. More...

JR did an amazing job with our dog Lily. The difference is night and day. She listens and obeys in a way that she never had before, yet is still her same sweet self. I highly recommend Green Timber to anyone who needs top-notch training. More...

Our Golden Doodle was trained by JR and he has boarded there several times since. JR is a fantastic trainer. He also made sure I understood I had to do my part as well that it was not just training our dog Ro but my wife and I had to learn what we need to do.
We got Ro at 13 months and he was not socialized. He did not like being around other dogs and he was really hard to walk. Now it is so much easier to take Ro to Memorial Park and have him around other dogs.
JR does a great job. The kennels are super clean and well kept. He and his wife Diane are truly sweethearts and will love your dog well. Ro loves to go visit and stay there. More...

I took in my 2 year old Labrador Retriever with very little hope of breaking his bad habits. At first I was thinking it’s too good to be true, but after the first week of basic obedience, my lab had improved immensely. I never wanted to take my dog out on a walk because he would always pull on the leash and it was a hassle. I mentioned my concerns at the beginning with JR, and sure enough 4 weeks later, my dog’s behavior is A+. Complete turn around from before along with improved commands. Thank you JR for all your help and assistance!! More...

We were at the end of our rope & didn’t know what to do. Our Sheltie seem to go crazy over the least little thing. After JR trained Ranger, and us, the difference is amazing. He obeys our commands and is much more pleasant to be around. We were able to enjoy time at a neighbor’s lemonade stand and he didn’t go nuts over the cars or the people or the bicycles. Our neighbors were amazed it was the same dog. I would recommend JR to anyone. He was very easy to work with and were sensitive to our needs. JR and his charming wife Diane make a great team. More...

JR is awesome. He genuinely cares about your dog while he is gone which is very comforting to know. Our 1 year old dog was extremely hyper and difficult to control. JR was able to get our dog familiar with basic commands and even worked some off leash training with him. We are SO happy we sent our dog to GTTK. We will definitely take our next dog there too More...

I had my rescue dog, Owen, train at GTTK and I am very pleased with the training that JR provided. He took the time to work with my wife and I and coached us on the mistakes we were making when interacting with Owen. I liked the fact that it throughout his board and train i was able to see and work with Owen, which allowed me to learn why he was doing different things and it also increased my confidence level in working with him and our other dogs! JR, once again thank you for your time and your service! More...

GTTK is everything that you could hope for to take care of your pet's needs. From professional training to boarding, the owner and location is perfect leaving nothing out. From the moment we interacted with JR till the day we picked up our Standard Poodle, JR made sure we were kept abreast of the training process. He guided us and trained our dog impeccably. We recommend him for all your pet needs, no matter what they are. More...

We started boarding our dog Winston, who is an English mastiff with JR. He took such good care of him and told us about his training school. He did a consult and showed us how and what he does. Just from the demonstration, we were sold. Winston was very stubborn, dominant, and hard to handle at times. JR has transformed him into an obedient dog. A complete 180 from what we were dealing with before! Every time we would go visit him we were in awe of what Winston had learned and how well he was doing with JR! I’m so thankful JR was referred to us, and I will refer everyone to him. For boarding and Training! More...

JR and Diane are amazing. We have a 9 month old female GSP, Willow Sage. We took her to JR when she was 5 months old for gun dog training. She started with obedience and knocked it out of the park. She transitioned beautifully into gun dog training. It’s not easy taking a dog that is bred for upland you be a retriever. But JR did. And he did it with passion. Every time I visited, Willow was so excited to see JR. Which made me feel good about leaving her there. I never felt like I had to worry. I knew she was safe. JR has a very clean facility. Everything is always clean and well kept. I highly recommend them. Willow will always be a client. We will board her and do refresher training with them. More...

JR had really great results with my hard headed GSP, I knew he was going to be a challenging pup but JR never gave up on him. I was really appreciative that JR took the time to listen to our needs in the obedience area, and tailored the program to them. Would recommend to friends and will continue to work with him through our Gun Dog process. More...

Green Timber Training and Kennels is AMAZING!! We were in search of someone to help us with our new rescued pup. She was displaying behavioral and obedience issues, on top of a little aggression. We spoke to several trainers in the Houston area and no one made us feel as important or heard as JR did. That feeling was further validated upon the evaluation meeting, where JR and Diane immediately bonded with both of our fur babies. JR is a no nonsense, straight shooting, caring trainer. He won’t waste your time or money if he doesn’t think he can get results. For our pup, not only did he achieve incredible results, but he gave credit to the work our pup had also put in. He encouraged us to be incorporated and involved in the training process and basically trained us how to be better fur baby parents. JR was able to recognize confidence issues with our pup and work with her to have less anxiety. We purchased a 4 week plan and it was worth every penny. In fact, what we received is a STEAL compared to what we paid. We highly recommend Green Timber Training and Kennels! More...

I can't recommend JR highly enough! We brought our two doodle puppies (one golden doodle and one labradoodle) to Green Timber for a 4-week stay. We visited them at least once per week so we could learn the training techniques as well. JR and his wife Diane are miracle workers! Both puppies came home with basic obedience under their belts and are MUCH more manageable around the house. We will take them back to JR often for boarding and further training without question.

Only the highest praise for JR, Diane, and Green Timber Training! We brought our two "doodle" puppies to them for a 4-week stay. We visited them at least once a week to work on the techniques JR was teaching them. They learned socialization plus basic obedience training and returned to us like new dogs! They are much calmer and we're all happier campers! The puppies loved it so much there, that we fully intend to send them back for boarding and further training. More...

Great customer service! Our Lola had a really good time while she was in training. We visited her twice a week and every session we were treated as if we were the only customers there. I got daily reports from JR. Lola was happy to be there and we could feel how much care and love JR and Diane gave her everyday. Facilities were always clean and spotless. More...

I want to thank J.R. for the superlative way in which he helped our dog, Murtaugh, and us, as Murtaugh's family.
It took me about 6 weeks of looking and interviewing to find J. R. and Green Timber Training and Kennels. Having had experience with a wonderful trainer in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area (with our dog, Shep), I knew what I wanted to see in the person who would help Murtaugh further his obedience and behavioral training. From the first conversation I had with J.R., I knew he was who I wanted to help Murtaugh.
I knew I wanted a person who was knowledgeable, adept in their training ability, patient, as well as proficient in seeing the unique peculiarities our dog needed to work on. I wanted someone who was gifted, and who had that "sixth sense" about a dog's particular bents. J.R. immediately picked up on several things Murtaugh needed help with, and was able to begin teaching us, Murtaugh's family, how to help Murtaugh as well.
"Being there" to work with your dog is an important key to any dog's success, and I was able to visit Murtaugh and J.R. three times a week (all the way from Kingwood) for the duration of Murtaugh's stay. Every time I came to work with Murtaugh, I saw improvement upon improvement, and I was exceedingly pleased with how Murtaugh's (and my) confidence seemed to blossom under J.R.'s care.
Witnessing Murtaugh grow into such a confident and happy dog has given me great joy, and I want to tell everyone who will listen about the skillful and masterful person who brought this confidence to our boy.
If you've come across J.R. Totten and Green Timber Training and Kennels in your search for a trainer, please; search no further. Know that you have struck gold, and that if you bring your beloved dog/s to J.R. for training, you will not be disappointed.
THANK YOU, J.R.. for helping Murtaugh become the dog he was meant to be. Thank you for helping him become happy and confident, and for giving him, and us, such constructive and healthy ways in which to enjoy the life we share.

JR Totten is passionate about training dogs and pups. I live out of town and had only three days to work in training for my nine-month-old mixed breed pup, Annie. On leash, she would drag me. She was never willing to walk or stay on my command. When meeting anyone, she would jump on them to get attention. And icing on the cake, she hated riding in a car, and I had to lift my 30-pound pup to get her inside car.

JR worked with my schedule to get in six hours of private lessons during my short time in the area. I cannot begin to describe the positive change in Annie and myself. Through consistent, positive self-correction and praise, Annie and I have become very special companions. When we left JR at the final training, I led her to the car, and she jumped right in without being coerced in any way. She follows my lead without dragging me, walks, sits, and stays on my command. And she has stopped jumping on people when she meets them.

I never dreamed Annie would correct some of her bad habits. I thank JR for instilling confidence in her and in me. When I return to the area, I plan to make arrangements to finish JR's basic obedience program and move on to advanced training. I highly recommend contacting JR as soon as possible about training your dog. I now understand and believe in their slogan, "A trained dog is a confident dog!" More...

We wish we could choose 10 stars! JR is the best! He has taken such a good care of our lab Max for the past two years, when we were out of town. He’s very experienced and organized, most importantly, he love animals and care a lot about them. We trust him completely with our fur baby! We highly recommend JC and his services to anyone who needs dog training and sitting services.

We brought the newest member of our family, a beautiful 5 month old Weimaraner named Sissy, home from Green Timber yesterday. There is really no way to describe the difference in the dog we left there and the dog we brought home. She was completely unmanageable when we dropped her off. Yesterday I took her for a long walk and I was stunned at how obedient she is. She obeyed virtually all my commands. We live inside the loop and there were many distractions but she never broke command. Our experience with JR was nothing but positive. From the initial conversation to the first night home gitters, he has been open and willing to do whatever was needed to ensure that Sissy got exactly what was appropriate for her training. We had a family emergency that necessitated leaving Sissy with JR longer than we planned , six weeks but honestly the difference that additional two weeks made was phenomenal. We couldn’t have planned it better. The kennels are bright and clean and it is clear that not only does JR have a deep understanding of dogs but he respects and loves them as well. We feel like we made a friend and we plan to return to Green Timbers for additional training . Just couldn’t be more pleased with what he was able to do with Sissy! More...

J.R. at Green Timbers Training and Kennels is AWESOME. My 9 months old German Shepherd spent 5 weeks there and became a different pup. She was shy, intimidated, and non socialized when I took her in. Was a poor eater, and would not even come to the front of her kennel. She eats all her food within 15 minutes of feeding her. I worked with J.R. and my pup, Ziva, once a week, and ever week there was such an improvement. He spent a lot of time with her, that by the third week, she was making eye contact with me, and willing to work with me, as she was with him. Her commands are awesome, even 65 yards away.

My four month old English Setter was terrorizing me and anyone who got near her. Jumping biting , biting your clothes, with razor sharp puppy teeth. When on a lead she would drag you. I tried numerous ‘fixes’ to get her to stop without success. I found JR of Green Timber Training and let him take her for a month of beginning obedience training. I have a new dog!! She does not bite anymore! She hears and follows commands. She heels on lead. She sits when told to. She is calmer and a really well behaved 5 month old puppy. I couldn’t be happier with the results JR got. JR truely is good . I will get him to do further obedience with my dog, later this summer. All of his training is up beat and positive- I was afraid she would lose her happy go lucky disposition and be cowed at people - no she is the same happy godlucky dog , now armed with confidence and basic obedience commands. And she loves to perform. Best thing I have ever done for one of my dogs. More...

We cannot thank JR enough for the time, diligence, and skill he put into our dog, Rudy AND us! We adopted Rudy from a shelter when we was around 1yr old, and Rudy, although friendly, did not like rules or boundaries. He wants to lead not be led. We quickly realized that we needed help with obedience(boundaries in the home, pulling on the leash(we tried SO many collars and leashes before meeting JR), etc.)and we didn’t want to rely on treats (although Rudy loves those! lol). I thought we could just find the right product to “fix” Rudy but really it was a combination of Rudy needing help and us needing to learn how to better lead Rudy.

JR truly changed everything! He not only helped Rudy but he also helped us which is KEY. I learned that so much of having a functional/thriving home with a furry family member is not just the dog’s skill/personality but more importantly it’s whether the owners properly work with their dog. JR was committed to helping all of us. He is honest, patient, and a natural coach/teacher. Not to mention that he is SO gifted with dogs. It’s really incredible. From our first consultation he was picking up on body language that Rudy showed that we completely missed and would have never have known to focus on.

I keep mentioning how great JR is with people but it’s because that’s what made him different to us when choosing a trainer. There are dog trainers who can teach your dog a command, but then there is JR who not only teaches your dog but teaches you to ensure your dog AND family are in the best position to what you want. We recommend him to any and everyone we know!

P.S.- He and his wife Diane are just top notch, good hearted people to their core.

P.P.S.- We also board Rudy with them whenever we can’t take Rudy with us out of town because we want to trust who we leave him with. They continue to be upstanding with our Rudy boy and treat him like he’s one of their own! More...
