Welcome to Puppy Love Dog Training!

We thank you for checking out our newly designed website.

Puppy Love has been teaching dogs (and cats!) in the Brazos Valley since 1992. Puppy Love was founded by Kay Stephens, DVM, a veterinarian, dog trainer, and A&M graduate who saw a need for a modern dog training facility in Bryan/College Station.

In the 15 years since founding Puppy Love, thousands of dogs of all ages have been succesfully educated with our revolutionary "clicker" training method. This method is fast, sucessful, and humane. We know that there is no need to yank or jerk your best friend around in order to train him. Our goal is to make training fun, easy, and effective for people and for dogs.  Tell us what you need, and we will do our best to help you reach your goals.

Puppy Love differs from other training classes in several important ways.

First, we have a privately owned indoor and fenced outdoor training area set up just for training dogs. Our indoor area is matted and has central air conditioning and heating.

Second, our instructors are all extremely experienced, trained professionals with years of training experience and advanced education (see our instructors's biographies by clicking on "About Puppy Love").  Our instructors understand that our real goal is to educate YOU, the pet owner, on how to train and manage your dog so that you will have continued success AFTER the class is over.

Third, we are located at America's Country Store 14675 Wellborn Rd. This is a top quality store featuring high end natural dog foods, treats, a wide variety of toys, and hard to find training equipment.

Fourth, we really care about helping you and your dog become a sucessful partnership. Our training methods are science based, proven effective, and use positive reinforcement to enhance the relationship between you and your dog.

Fifth, our classes are very small, usually 6-8 dogs per class. 

Sixth, we have a full set of Agility equipment.

Seventh, we are a small, locally owned and operated business. Our head trainer is a veterinarian (A&M '79,'80,'83) with advanced training in behavior modification.

We specialize in Puppy Kindergarten classes where puppies from 9 weeks to  6 months of age learn to be well behaved members of the household. Early training is the single most important factor in your dog becoming a good companion.

We teach basic obedience classes for dogs 6 months and older with the emphasis on every day household obedience exercises. We believe you really can teach an "old" dog new tricks, and that it is never too late to make your dog a better companion.

Competition classes are for those interested in earning obedience titles or learning more about  the details of training and the science of operant conditioning.Check out the advanced clicker classes tab to see our special offer, this winter only, to work with one of the top obedience competitors in the U.S.

We also offer a Canine Good Citizen Class for those wanting their dogs to earn the AKC Good Citizen Certificate or become a certified Therapy Dog.

Rally Obedience is a new class we are offering to make obedience training fun and exciting.

Agility classes are a great way to exercise your dog, build up your dog's confidence, and for you and your dog to just plain have fun. We offer introductory classes that any dog of any age can enjoy as well as more advanced classes for those interested in competition.

For details on any of our classes, click on the class menu tab at the top of the page. For dates and times of classes, click on the class schedule tab.

We have classes available on a variety of times and dates, and if you don't see a class that fits your needs, let us know , as we offer private lessons either at your home, or at our training facility.

We also offer behavioral counseling  with a veterinarian experinced in behavior modification for animals with specific issues such as housetraining, anxiety or aggression.  Contact us for details on this service.

Puppy Love offers this guarantee :  if you are not totally satisfied with your class experience we will find a way to make you satisfied, whatever it takes. We have 15 years of satisfied customers and dogs and plan on 15 more.
