About Mission Critical Dog Training

Former military dog trainers in Sanger

Mission Critical Dog Training is a Sanger-based dog training business serving North Texas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Its trainers, Lauren and Wesley, began training dogs in the United States Air Force, where both were Military Working Dog Trainers for 10 years, and went on to work with explosive detection dogs in private security at Dallas sports and concert venues. They describe their approach as motivational training methods and promise owners a dog that will listen to them, happily.

Programs

Private one-on-one sessions teach owners how to change their dog's behavior and manners. Board and train programs have the dog live with the trainers while working toward a high level of obedience, and puppy training tackles house training accidents, barking and nipping. Exclusive group classes are open to clients. Common goals include indoor manners, stopping leash pulling and lunging, a reliable recall, stopping jumping on guests and calm behavior around distractions. Each dog starts with a free training evaluation.

What owners say

One owner wrote that after 2 weeks their 8-week-old golden retriever "knew her name, would come when called" and could focus despite a leaf blower and car sounds.

What to ask

Ask how long board and train stays run and what each program costs.
