About Tellez K9 Dog Training

Tellez K9 Dog Training states its base plainly at the foot of its own home page: "Based in Durham; Servicing Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary, and Surrounding Areas." Its published service area extends across the Triangle and into the Piedmont, naming Morrisville, Hillsborough, Wake Forest, Burlington, Holly Springs, Pittsboro, Fuquay-Varina and Creedmoor alongside the larger towns. The whole site is published in English and Spanish.

The program list

This is the longest published service menu of any trainer in the Durham-Chapel Hill area. Board and train is described as immersive training through structured daily work; private training is one-on-one and goal-led; puppy training covers obedience, manners, impulse control and appropriate behavior from the start; obedience runs from basic commands to advanced work. Off-leash training is sold on reliable recall and handler control in increasingly distracting environments, and e-collar training is listed separately as structured work to improve off-leash reliability "when appropriate." Behavior modification, reactive dog training and aggressive dog training each have their own page, the last of them covering dogs with biting behaviors.

Working breeds

Separate published programs cover German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, described as tailored to those breeds' drive, and the site lists Schutzhund/IGP training – the protection sport – as a service in its own right rather than as a trainer biography note.

Problems it names

The site works through a long list of specific problems it takes on, and several are narrower than the usual headings: leash pulling, failing recall, jumping on people, aggression toward people or other dogs, reactivity on walks, leash reactivity and overexcitement, destructive behavior when left alone, separation anxiety, excessive barking, potty training, hyperactivity, fear and anxiety around new environments, and resource guarding of food, toys or space.

How it works with owners

The business offers a free consultation in person or by phone, describes its method as balanced – "appropriate rewards, clear communication, structure, and boundaries based on the individual dog" – and puts weight on owner education and on real-world reliability rather than commands performed in a training room. It publishes lifetime trainer support for graduates at no charge and a satisfaction guarantee.
