Professional Dog Trainer Annie Phenix can help you help your dog behave and enjoy life with its human companions. After being heavily involved for more than 15 years in rescuing and retraining hundreds of dogs from every Central Texas shelter, Annie has seen just about every behavior — good and bad — that a dog can offer. She’s worked with puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. She’s also worked with just about every breed (and yes she is happy to work with your “bully breed” dog) and every combination of mixed breed dog.

“It’s not dog-training magic, it’s the Premack Principle!”

Phenix uses the most up-to-date, fair and effective dog training tools available to forward-thinking trainers. She uses her vast experience as a professional and award-winning businesswoman to quickly communicate to both dog and owner how to resolve any canine-human conflict. Phenix combines her years of hands-on experience together with her deep affection and understanding of all things canine and the end result is a smart, caring, professional and results-focused dog trainer. She even returns your phone calls in a timely manner!
