Tonia Whilden is the ultimate "dog whisperer" Tonia has a warm and caring relationship with dogs. Her training technique is simple and effective. She gives and commands respect from the dogs and as a result you are rewarded with a warm loving relationship with your puppy.

Houston Dog Ranch is like a home away from home for Louie. As soon as Louie enters the ranch he literally leaps out of the car with excitement and anticipation. The accommodation is luxurious and the care and attention Louie receives is wonderful. There is no other place for our Louie.

Tonia was our Weimaraner, Cloe’s trainer when we got her as a puppy two years ago. Very quickly after getting Cloe we realized that we would need more that just love and understanding to enjoy her, as Weimeraners is a wonderful breed that seems to have their own ways and mind.
After only a few weeks, Tonia helped us better understand the best way to communicate and work with our Cloe. More importantly, she did it with positive reinforcement and love. Tonia is an amazing trainer and thanks to her we now have the perfect dog.
Cloe is not only a pupil she also attends Doggy Daycare at Houston Dog Ranch and absolutely loves it. What a wonderful place!! I would recommend Tonia and the Houston Dog Ranch in a heartbeat.

I am the proud owner of a well behaved six month old Labrador Retriever, a seemingly impossible wish. He follows all basic commands, retrieves, waits to the door for instructions to enter and rarely jumps any longer. He chews on nothing of importance except my old slippers. My friends and family are all amazed at his progress and excellent behavior.
I attribute all of this achievement to Tonia Whilden and the Houston Dog Ranch. Tonia is a remarkable woman with an incredible commitment to her clients and their dogs. Her training philosophies and techniques make The Houston Dog Ranch a phenomenal facility where training results happen.
