Welcome to The Texas Dogfather
Where challenging dogs find peace – and their people find hope
A Ranch
That Feels Like Home Because It Is
Nestled on 11 scenic acres beneath the shade of 100 year old oaks, The Texas Dogfather is more than a boarding and training facility – it’s a sanctuary for behaviorally complex dogs and the families who love them.
We understand that living with a reactive, anxious, or misunderstood dog can feel isolating. That’s why we’ve built a one-of-a-kind environment, designed from the ground up with behavior in mind. Here, dogs are given the space, structure, and expert care they need to reset, grow, and thrive.
We’re not just dog trainers - we’re social behavior pioneers and developers of The Family Language training method. All of our training and caregiving methods are strictly L.I.M.A. (click here) compliant as we are deeply committed to compassionate, evidence-based methods that work for real dogs in the real world. Whether your baby struggles with aggression, fear, reactivity, or social tolerance, you’ve found the right place for their training and boarding needs.
Real People. Real Dogs. Real Change.
We’re a small tight-knit team of seasoned professionals who have dedicated themselves to helping behaviorally challenged dogs and the families who love them live their best lives together.
This isn’t fast-track training or one-size-fits-all care. It’s real change, earned through trust, patience, and compassion.
What makes us different:
A tight-knit team of behavior experts and caregivers who love their jobs
11 private acres with custom-designed living and enrichment spaces
Science-backed training focused on social and emotional wellbeing
A judgement free zone for every dog and every family
And most of all - A resident compassion pack – a group of rescue dogs who live on the property as a family and serve as social models for visiting dogs, helping them to build social confidence, social competence, social tolerance and social restraint.
