Find a Dog Trainer in San Antonio

Marina came to my home today and groomed both my long-haired and my regular-coated German Shepherds. She was great with my dogs and kept them calm with treats and patience. She did a beautiful job on them and trimmed up my long-hair where she gets straggly, and trimmed her legs and feet. They were both deshedded so nicely. She took her time and did such a thorough job. They look beautiful and smell so nice. I highly recommend her to care for your pets.

Our journey with Tandem Canines started about a year ago when our cocker spaniel bit my daughter’s hand (in a provoked situation) and then me just a few weeks later when I pushed him off of a soda can he was happily licking. He had no issues with my husband or other men, but grew increasingly aggressive around females. We had no idea what we did to onset that behavior. Out of concern for my daughter and household visitors, we were afraid we would have to give him up. Thank goodness we were referred to Jessica at Canine Tandems. We invested in a full program of weekly trainings at parks and in public spaces hoping to help our dog understand his place and develop safer habits. Working with Jessica we quickly learned that we also needed to learn safer habits, and that owner consistency is most of the work of dog training. We had a few bumps along the way as our whole family (including our dog) learned together. If you want training to work, it really does require the same commitment from every family member. Jessica even helped us find a groomer who does an amazing job with our dog. I keep in touch regularly with Jessica to share the good and any setbacks as we’re getting better every day! Here are just a few things we can do now that I never thought would be possible: - Take walks like pros. People are amazed at how great of a walker Oreo is, and now I can’t help but chuckle watching people get dragged by (or drag along) their dog. - Go on long, comfortable car rides, and EAT in the car! Trust me, kennels are your friend. - Bring Oreos out in public and trust he’ll be well-behaved, like to Home Depot or the park. He can walk, heel, sit, stay, come, and place literally anywhere on command. - Have people over! That first bite was at home with visitors so I was mortified we would never be able to have house guests again. Now we have guests ALL the time and Oreo knows his place. We also take the opportunity to teach people, especially young kids, about respecting animals and their space. - Be physically affectionate with our dog again. We were very nervous at first about our interactions, but now I know his body cues and can respond immediately. I can quickly remove him from triggering situations and he listens to my familiar commands even when stressed. Y’all, we SNUGGLE face to face, and I am able to trust my dog again because he trusts me! If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, whether it’s aggression or just trying to develop better leash skills, don’t second guess this team. Thank you Tandem Canines!!

Blue has been exceptional with training my husky, Sasha. Being my first dog, and having everyone warn me against getting a husky because of the “usual” ownership experience, it has been a breeze with Blues help. He is the ideal home dog and companion, with being calm, loving, and incredibly intelligent with commands.

When my Brinley got sick, I wasn't sure how to work and give her meds to her during the day. I had reached out to Stephanie to help me. She is the only one I trust with my pups. She loves her clients like they were her own. I am truly grateful to have found her. She is very knowledgeable, patient with pawrents, and loves what she does. I will continue to use her for any private/class training and for any other services offered. It's a great feeling having someone you can trust in your home and with your pups. Thank you Stephanie for always being there to help me with Brinley and Daisy.

I'm taken my dogs here numerous times and have always had a good experience. The staff is super friendly and they do a great job. I love being able to look at their schedule online and choose a time that works for me.
