The success of your dog’s training and behavior management begins with knowing about the trainer, his history and experience in dog handling and behavior training.

You should be as comfortable with the trainer of your dog as you are with the teacher of your children. Accept no less than the best in training, handling and caring for your dog. 

As we all know, there are a TON of sites, blogs, articles etc. out there about dog training.  What I find interesting, is that people gobble this stuff up without knowing anything at all about the author - even to the extreme of not knowing the author’s name!  That’s why I think it’s important for you to know about me.

I’m one of Houston’s most established and thriving dog trainers. My at home dog training process, The Burwell Method, constitutes the culmination of 20+ years of experience teaching canines of virtually all breeds — and educating their owners.

I have been blessed with my success, which has led to high-profile dog training assignments, local and regional acclaim. I would like to present a sampling of my accomplishments and accolades as a professional dog trainer so you will be comfortable with my advice.
