Obedience and Off-Leash Training for Your Pets

  • Train While Your Dog is Boarding

    When you go on vacation, it is a perfect time to have your pet obedience trained and not have any boarding charges! An obedient pet makes a polite member of the family.

  • Basic Obedience

    This two-week “Board & Train” program is guaranteed for “Sit,” “Down,” “Come,” “Stay,” and “Heel.” Also, if you decide to board within one year of your dog’s training, you can receive Refresh Training at no charge! (Excludes holiday seasons)

  • Off Leash

    For dogs that are already obedience trained, we also offer off-leash training. This training will allow you to take your dog outside without a leash and feel confident that they will always come back to you. This training utilizes a training collar with a remote, similar to the ones used in hunting. 


    The cost of each of these programs is $800.00 and includes $35.00 daily towards your boarding cost.

  • Our Trainer

    After working for the Harris County Sheriff's Department, Terry decided that his love for animals was where his heart belonged. In 1996, Terry followed his passion and started his career in dog training. Since that time, he has been successfully training over 300 dogs per year in basic obedience. He has also done training in protection and raised boxers. Clients are amazed at the progress that can be made with their pets in 2 weeks.

Letters of Praise

Hi Kimberly,


First, I want to thank you for taking the time today to give me “very specific” directions to your facility. So, “thank you”.


Now, I feel it necessary to compliment you on your staff and your facility. Today my husband, Ignacio, and I had the pleasure of visiting Forest Shadows Pet Resort and I must admit your place far exceeded our expectations. Your lobby is very welcoming and your front desk staff was very friendly.


During our tour, we were very fortunate to meet Sarah, who by chance had some time to visit with us. I am sure she could tell we were very nervous and probably a little over-protective of our “children”.


You see, we have recently moved here from California and our home there was set up so that our pets could be comfortable at home while we were away. We both still work in California and must travel every month for 3-5 days at a time. So if we sound, look, or act a little strange the first few times we drop off Nikholas and Vilence, please don’t take offense.


Our experience at your facility today has given us the opportunity to feel comfortable when having to leave Nikholas and Vilence. Please thank your staff and Sarah for taking the time to visit with us during our tour."


From Kelly and Ignacio Fernandez
