About Revival Dog Training – West University

Science-based training in West University

Revival Dog Training runs its West University facility at 2507 Bissonnet St in Houston. The company was founded in May 2021 by Hayley Kenner, alongside co-owner Yennifer Mejia, with a mission to help fearful and reactive dogs and the owners living with them. It describes treating behavior the way clinicians treat illness: assess, prescribe, measure, adjust.

Method

Revival commits to the LIMA framework (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) and the Humane Hierarchy, and calls every one of its protocols reward-based, built on treats, praise and play. Each facility is led by a CPDT-KA certified head trainer. Trainers based at West University include Lindsay Kahl, credited with 14 years of experience, along with Hannah Barnes, Gracey Soriano and Ellie Villareal.

Programs

The West University location offers drop-off day training, board and train, puppy kindergarten, 1:1 private lessons, group classes, enrichment boarding and drop-off daycare. Problem areas named on its pages include reactivity, fear and anxiety, leash pulling, resource guarding and separation distress. A free homework library offers downloadable exercises such as a crate desensitization checklist, a puppy potty training guide and a puppy socialization checklist. The company recommends booking at least a month in advance, and it cites a 4.9 rating from more than 339 Google reviews.
