Dog Training in McKinney, TX

Hi, I’m Ana Maria — a dog trainer offering private, in-home lessons focused on real-world structure and relationship-based support. I work directly with clients in the environment where most dogs (and owners) struggle most: at home. My goal is to provide personalized, hands-on coaching that leads to lasting, confident behavior. I specialize in aggression, leash reactivity, manners and obedience training, and psychiatric service dog preparation. Whether you're starting with a wild puppy or working through serious behavior issues, I tailor each program to your dog’s unique needs and your lifestyle. I trained at the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers in 2018 and have spent the past 7 years working with dogs in both professional and volunteer roles. I’m currently a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. I am pursuing certification through the IACP exam in June 2025 and membership with NADOI later in the year to continue deepening my expertise. Raised in the Mid-Cities area, I’m a proud alum of the Trinity High School Girls Awareness Program supporting the local animal shelter, where my passion for mentorship and community leadership began. Today, I continue to foster dogs and volunteer for the Trinity GAP rescue. My training style blends structure, empathy, and a little humor. I believe the best results come from teamwork — and that training should feel doable, not overwhelming.

Providing force-free, positive reinforcement training for fur babies and their human families. Every fur baby and their family have specific training needs. Therefore, each training session is customized based first on an initial assessment and subsequently on ongoing assessments throughout the training program. My mission is for all family members to be able to communicate effectively in order to reach their end goals. By learning to effectively communicate with the furry members of your family there is no need to ever utilize any form of aversive methods, such as choke, prong or shock collars. Please reach out to me today to schedule an initial assessment. There is not any charge or commitment for the initial assessment and this allows you (and your human family) an opportunity to chat with me to find out if I am a good fit for your training needs. I am also offering consultation sessions via Zoom for families who are needing either general or specific education pertaining to their furry family members. Please reach out to me for pricing and availability. You can also reach me on my website, andilanedogtraining.com or thru Facebook @ Andie Lane Dog Training. Would love to have you follow me.
