About Mutts & Manners K9 Training

Real-world training in Burnet

Mutts & Manners K9 Training serves Burnet and the surrounding area with private lessons, day training and puppy training. Owner and trainer Tristan works with dogs of all ages, breeds and backgrounds, from puppies learning the basics to dogs dealing with reactivity, fear or more complex behavior. His approach centers on structure, consistency and clear communication, and he aims for training that is practical, fair and tailored to each dog and household, with reliability both on and off leash.

Programs

Day training has the dog train with Tristan during the day and return home in the evening, working on leash manners, recall, impulse control and confidence in a variety of environments; it suits dogs working through reactivity, aggression or trouble settling, and owners aiming for off-leash freedom. Owner lessons are included, and most dogs benefit from multi-week programs. Private lessons take place in your home or as field sessions and focus on specific challenges and routines. Puppy Foundations, for puppies under 6 months, covers engagement, impulse control, confidence, appropriate play and beginning leash manners.
