Introduction
I am certified and a Texas state licensed police/security dog trainer, and internationally recognized Obedience/Behavior specialist with over 200 five star reviews on Google & Thumbtack. For great off-leash control all dogs are trained to come to the "Silent Whistle" Which they can hear up to a mile away. Your dog learns all obedience commands off leash; Come when called, Heel, etc. Our 2 week Board & Train program solves all behavior problems, leash pulling, jumping, aggression, etc. Drop off your wild child, pick up your well behaved, best buddy at graduation. Training is videoed, so you watch as your dog trains, then use those video's, as a lifetime training reference, to keep your dog sharp. A complete, customized, Board & Train program is $1450 made in 2 payments, $725 on drop off and $725 when picking your dog up. Private lessons are also available starting at $125 per hour.

I told my enormous mastiff puppy ‘200lbs and expected to grow to 230’ to go see Butch for some manners training. He was a wilding when we arrived and when we left, Ranger now walks with a lead- doesn’t pull, he guards my house and property and will back off when I call him to, he’s so much happier and balanced. I trust Butch and his team and have taken Ranger back even for boarding and he had a great time. Thanks again Butch for helping sweet Ranger gain some confidence and teaching me how to lead him. See you soon, I hope!

This is an amazing kennel! I take my dog here every time I need to board her and she always comes back happy and healthy. The workers here are great with dogs and treat them like family. Ive done all my training with my dog through Butch and have loved all of it! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to board or for some training!

Butch and everyone at his training facility are absolutely outstanding!! I never worry about leaving my dogs with them knowing they are in the best hands! Kennels and bowls are cleaned daily and my dogs are always happy and comfortable! I have sent both of my Dobermans to Butch for his 2 week Obedience course and WOW!! His obedience training makes owning a high energy puppy Soo much more fun and enjoyable!! I also sent my second Female European Doberman Aklah through his Personal Protection Training am so very impressed with the outcome!! Training is NEVER over but the foundation Butch and his team establish in your dogs is everything!!!! I Recommend Cappel K9 to absolutely everyone!!

This is Mona's third training with Butch. Long story short...Mona is a two-year old rescue GSD that was "damaged" and medicated to keep her behavior in check by her two previous sets of owners.After the first obedience training, Mona came back a different dog - obedient dog! I could take her for walks and enjoy it. She even jogs with me now, and keeps pace with me. My four legged friend runs a lot faster than I can, but she knows how to keep pace with me by slowing down for me.She was brought back to Butch for guard training. Mona is a strong willed dog...when she has enough, she will basically not respond or will respond sloppily. Butch trained her and I took her home for one month for maintenance trainingShe went back to Butch to continue the guard training. I am happy with her progress. Butch and the team worked with Mona and got her to learn. It is difficult to undo two years of hurtful upbringing, and I am sure that the patience that the training team exhibited, helped Mona learn. In every video that he sent, Mona always seemed happy and was engaging with the trainers. Kudos to Butch and his teamI also want to respond to one of the negative reviews that was left. Like humans, dogs have temperaments. I was concerned that Mona might not have the intelligence for guard training, but Butch helped me realize something...dogs speak 'dog' language and not human language. They cannot learn if they don't understand. They need baby steps training and repetition...repetition ..repetition! With this in mind, I feel that we should not judge a training facility without carefully weighing the dog's nurture and temperament.Butch, Scott and CarolAnn kudos to you all! You are the best !
