Dog training for San Angelo families.

We typically come to you.

For hands-on Owner Train and other client-based training, we typically travel to your location. Board & Train is the usual exception: owners typically come to the trainer for the program’s owner sessions, drop-off and pickup. Some Board & Train owner sessions may also take place at your home or in public, depending on the training plan.

We confirm the meeting location, schedule and any applicable mileage with you before training begins.

Start with what life together needs.

Chase and Makenzi Nobles cover San Angelo as part of ARK DOG’s West Texas service area. Our base is Snyder. We agree on the trainer and meeting arrangements with you before training begins.

Use your application to describe a normal day with your dog and the situations you want to improve. Leash pulling, difficulty settling and behavior around unfamiliar dogs can have different causes; we begin by understanding the individual.

Hands-on help at your location.

Tell us your location and availability for an in-person meeting. Most applicants begin with a virtual consultation, which lets us discuss the dog and your goals before planning hands-on work.

Owner Train uses weekly coaching and practice between appointments. Board & Train takes place in a trainer’s home and includes regular owner sessions throughout. Neither format is arranged as a walk-in service.

What can begin at home?

For puppies under six months, guided virtual puppy development provides four private one-hour sessions over four weeks for $800, with feedback between sessions. You carry out the daily work.

If you want us to take the lead on your puppy’s development, premium Puppy Board & Train offers the added depth of daily professional training. For behavior concerns, we assess suitability and support needs individually rather than directing every dog into a virtual program.

Start with your dog’s story.

Complete the application so we can understand your dog, your household and your goals. Most clients begin with a $75 virtual consultation. In-person consultations are $120 plus applicable mileage. This is an assessment and program-design conversation; normal training plans and prices are customized afterward.
