Customer Reviews

I cannot say enough about the staff and this place over all. Rosie is my 5 month old Great Dane puppy and she loves it here so much. When I first brought her I thought she had a good base and just needed some fine tuning, but what they have done is nothing short of miraculous!! Her confidence, happiness and overall behavior is so good I can’t imagine her without coming here. The detailed training plan and feedback report is so great I look forward to reading it everyday. Just the love and attention alone they have giving her has been worth every second she has spent here. Thank you so much! Rosie is the best because of you guys!!!

My baby beagle has the best time here for play care! I know she is loved and cared for with great trainers and kennel techs. She attends at least two days a week. The staff is always so loving towards her. I pick her up exhausted every time as she is able to play with all of her doggo friends and is ready for nap afterwards, lol.

- Kri V

Jenny and her team are empathetic, awesome, and experienced experts. Super flexible with how they approach their training plans for each family they work with. Very affordable. Love seeing the tail wags and smile our precious Great Danes have when working with their staff or spending time at daycare.

We recently moved to another city in Texas, but had to leave a review for this magical place for our dog. We first heard about Arfordable through our trainer, Raven who is the sweetest person ever and is AMAZING with our dog. I would like to note she now works here too. We met the owners, Jenny and Jess, two of the most hardworking women you will ever meet. You can tell from the very moment you walk in how much they love working with dogs and enjoy their jobs. My dog thinks coming here is like going to Disney World. He also has celebrated all of his birthdays at Arfordable for the past 3 years. He is obsessed with Aunt Jenny's dog-approved cakes. My dog also participated in AKC training, had a couple of private lessons with Jenny, play care (at least once a week) and boarding. You will be in good hands here and never have to worry about your fur baby. Other amazing coworkers and trainers you will encounter will be: Dori, Sierra, Fabiola, Isabelle, Caitlin, Addie, Rachel, Lisa, Danielle & Kylie.

The behavior trainer is great with our crazy dog. She not only is training our girl but also training us. She found some faults we were doing and corrected our behavior. Another trainer from another company said we should put her down. Our baby loves the new trainer. I have never seen her behave so good for a stranger.

- Jim F

Sierra Is an AMAZING service dog trainer! She communicates so well, Is so patient and loves throwing stuffies at my pup to test him (in a good way)! We have a new puppy who is very fearful, and the fear is turning into mild aggression, and we will be using them to help our new puppy build his confidence.
Thank you sooooo so so much for what yall do!

🐶 Dog Trainers in Converse, Texas


Jessica Davis, MBA, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KSA is a dog trainer serving pet parents in Converse and the surrounding Bexar County area, including nearby communities such as San Antonio, New Braunfels, Schertz, Seguin, Cibolo, Live Oak, Universal City, Leon Valley, Kirby, Alamo Heights. Dog trainers like Jessica Davis, MBA, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KSA help dogs develop good manners, learn practical skills, and become more confident in everyday situations. Whether you're working on leash pulling, jumping, recall, obedience, or household manners, Jessica can tailor training guidance to your dog's personality, experience, and learning style.


❤️ Great Dog Training Builds Communication, Confidence, and Connection


Effective dog training involves more than teaching commands. A professional dog trainer works with both you and your dog, helping you understand how dogs learn, communicate clearly, and establish consistent routines. With guidance from Jessica, you can develop training habits that fit your household and help your dog navigate everyday life at home and in public.


Dog Training Services and Skills


Dog trainers offer different programs and areas of specialization depending on their experience and training methods. Common training goals include:


Basic Obedience:
Teaching practical cues such as sit, stay, come, down, and leave it, while building attention and responsiveness.


Leash Training and Loose-Leash Walking:
Helping dogs learn to walk more comfortably with their people, respond to leash cues, and develop better walking habits.


Recall and Focus:
Building reliable responses to cues and helping dogs pay attention around everyday distractions.


Household Manners:
Working on behaviors such as jumping on people, excessive barking, counter surfing, door manners, and settling at home.


Socialization and Confidence:
Helping dogs become more comfortable with unfamiliar environments, people, sounds, and everyday experiences through appropriate, gradual training.


Rescue and Newly Adopted Dog Training:
Helping dogs adjust to a new household, establish routines, and learn the skills needed for family life.


Training for Fear and Reactivity:
Some dog trainers have experience helping dogs that bark, lunge, or become uncomfortable around other dogs, people, or unfamiliar situations. Ask about a trainer's specific experience and approach, particularly when safety is a concern.


Dog trainers may use positive reinforcement, reward-based methods, clicker training, or other approaches suited to their professional experience. Review each profile to understand the trainer's methods, qualifications, and available services. For severe or complex behavioral concerns, a veterinarian or qualified animal behavior professional may also be an important part of your dog's care.


Dog Training for Different Ages and Experience Levels


Dog training can benefit dogs at many stages of life. Some trainers work with young dogs learning household routines and basic skills, while others specialize in adult dogs, rescue dogs, or dogs that need help developing specific behaviors. The services listed on Jessica's profile will help you determine whether their experience matches your dog's age, background, and training goals. For dedicated early puppy development and foundational training, explore professionals in our Puppy Trainer category.


How to Choose a Dog Trainer


A good fit depends on more than location. Before booking, consider the trainer's experience, professional certifications, training philosophy, and familiarity with your dog's specific needs. Ask how sessions are structured, whether you will participate in the training, and what guidance is provided between appointments.


Professional credentials can help you understand a trainer's education and experience, but certifications and qualifications vary. Review the credentials displayed on each PetWorks profile and ask the professional about their training methods and areas of specialization.

What age can a dog start training?
Dogs can learn at different ages and stages of life. Some trainers work with young dogs learning basic skills, while others specialize in adult dogs, rescue dogs, or specific training challenges. Check each professional's profile for the ages and experience levels they serve.


Can a dog trainer help with leash pulling, jumping, and barking?
Many dog trainers work on common challenges such as pulling on the leash, jumping on people, excessive barking, and difficulty responding to cues. The best training approach depends on the individual dog and the circumstances surrounding the behavior.


Can dog training help with fear or reactivity?
Some trainers have experience helping dogs develop better responses to triggers and challenging everyday situations. Ask about the professional's experience with your dog's specific behavior. Serious aggression, significant fear, or complex behavioral concerns may require veterinary guidance or an animal behavior specialist.


Do dog trainers offer in-home sessions in Converse, Texas?
Many dog trainers offer private instruction in a pet parent's home or at an agreed-upon local location. Service areas and travel availability vary, so review the professional's profile or contact them to confirm whether they serve your neighborhood.

Depending on your dog's needs, you may benefit from one professional or both.
