About Southern Canine

Board and train in Grand Prairie

Southern Canine is a Grand Prairie dog training company serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, including Arlington, Mansfield, Dallas and Fort Worth. It specializes in board and train programs, off-leash training, reactive and aggressive dog training, puppy training, obedience training and behavior modification, for dogs of all breeds and ages.

Approach

The team aims for clear communication, reliable obedience and lasting behavioral change rather than quick fixes, using balanced training tailored to each dog. Board and train dogs live in a home rather than a kennel building, training includes real-world field trips and distractions, and follow-up lessons are included with board and train. The company says it was voted Best Dog Trainer in Grand Prairie in 2024 and 2025. It also runs structured boarding programs, and owners can text for the fastest response.

What owners say

One owner wrote that after her 4-month-old puppy's Puppy Package board and train, "the difference in his behavior was night and day!"

What to ask

Ask how long board and train stays run, how many follow-up lessons are included and what each program costs.
