About Jim

“Jim Burwell’s uncanny ability to train unruly dogs has earned him something of a cult status in the canine community.”

Leslie Sowers Gerber – Houston Chronicle’s Texas Magazine

The success of your dog’s training and behavior management begins with knowing about the trainer, his history and experience in dog handling and training. You should be as comfortable with the trainer of your dog as you are with the teacher of your children. Accept no less than the best in training, handling and caring for your dog. I encourage you to browse my website to learn about me and my training skills. And, contact me via email or phone for questions or appointments.

Owner participation is critical in training your dog and effectively managing their behavior. Jim offers a variety of options with his group classes, private lessons and behavior counseling. Any one or combination of group and private lessons can significantly enhance your life with your pet and increase your understanding of pet behavior and pet care.

One of the most highly effective and economical ways to start off right with you new dog is in a group class. Here are some advantages of Jim's classes and how you can get more value out of your time and money:

Reputation and experience
20 years of teaching pet dog training and solving behavior problems.

Training facility
Designed specifically for dog training. A good facility meets the needs of the owner and the dog, i.e. adequate space with minimal extraneous distractions.

Socialization
In Jim's classes, dogs meet before class in the dog park at Rover Oaks for much needed play and interaction to give you a more focused dog for learning.

Practical application
Jim not only instructs you how to train your dog on basic obedience but shows you how to utuilize your class lessons to effectively manage your dogs behavior.

The cultures of the canine world and our human world can often clash. This is the moment when having an experienced trainer in both obedience and behavior will make the difference in your relationship.
