Introduction

Hey Ya'll, My name is Jagger, and I run Lucky Paws Dog Training. I've been training dogs in the Austin area for six years now. My passion has always been behavioral cases, however I work with dogs from any background and can definitely still help with obedience and puppy stuff, too! I am certified with the IACP (International Association of Canine Practitioners), I am SMA (Starmark Academy) certified as a Dog Trainer and Behavior Specialist, and lastly I am AKC registered as a CGC evaluator! To keep a very long story short with opening Lucky Paws, my goal was to help individuals on a personal level. Every dog is different, and what can help one family doesn't always help the next. I offer several different training options and use several different "methods" based on what individual dogs need. I offer free evaluations and tours of my home for any interested clients, so don't hesitate to reach out! My door is always open.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

All our pricing can be found on our website.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Typically the first step is a Phone Eval or an In-Person Eval. Which are free of charge. Outside a small millage fee if traveling 30+ Miles which would be credited towards your training package if you sign up! Private and In-home Lessons are typically coaching you through the motions whereas a board and train program I do most the leg work.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have graduated from one of the top programs in the country at Starmark Academy in Hutto Texas. I went through their 12-Week Dog Trainer and Behavior Specialist Program as well as a four month Internship program focusing mostly on Behavioral Modification. I am CGC Certified as well.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I had already been working with dogs a few years as a groomer helping my mother open her shop in Metro Detroit Michigan when we had an incident with a family dog attacking my dog. I started as a client for another trainer and I soon realized I found my passion finding Starmark Academy in Texas and the rest is history!

What types of customers have you worked with?

This is a hard question, five years into the career I've worked with a lot of people at this point! Young, old, I even had a partial quadriplegic client at one point. So I am well rounded to say the least. My passion is behavioral work, but I've worked with service dogs, working dogs, and trick work too!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Do your research and trust your gut! This industry is difficult because there are so many polarizing viewpoints and opinions. But above all make sure you are comfortable with the person you work with. After all training is a huge investment and should (hopefully) be a fun and rewarding experience.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Q: How much time do I (you) have to dedicate to training my dog? Reason: In-Home / Private Lessons are mostly on the owner to put the time in. A board and train has me do most the heavy lifting but you still need to put time in with your dog!
