Espresso Dog Training
Training For Hyper Dogs in and around Garland, Texas
I help high-energy and reactive dogs learn to focus, settle, and enjoy outings with their humans, so walks, hikes, and trips can actually be fun!

You’re Not Alone
If your dog:
- Pulls on the leash like it’s a championship event
- Jumps on, bites, or chews everything (and everyone) in sight
- Can’t settle at home or in public
- Freaks out around people, dogs, or new places
- Has energy that seems impossible to burn off
Take a deep breath. You’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. With a little guidance (and some patience), your dog can learn to settle, focus, and enjoy life outside the living room.
Imagine walks that feel calmer, your dog more focused and relaxed, and outings you actually look forward to.
Turn Chaos Into Confidence
I know what it’s like when you’re trying to walk your dog, and he’s at the end of the leash, coughing and choking himself, or suddenly lunging and barking at someone trying to walk by. Life with a high-energy or reactive dog can be overwhelming, exhausting, and sometimes embarrassing. That’s why I guide you with simple, practical steps that really work – whether we’re training at home or on the go.
Together, we’ll build your dog’s focus, calm, and confidence – and your confidence, too! The result? Walks that feel manageable, outings you can enjoy, and a dog you actually enjoy taking out.


Training That Works for Your Dog (and Your Life)
No two dogs – or households – are exactly the same. Some dogs need help slowing their brains down. Others need clearer structure, better outlets, or support working through big emotions.
I take the time to understand your dog, what’s driving their behavior, and what you want life with them to look like. From there, we build a plan that supports real progress, without overwhelm, pressure, or unrealistic expectations.
Whether you’re focused on calmer walks, better manners at home, or a reliable adventure buddy, I’m here to help you.
Why Owners Turn to Me When They’re Overwhelmed
Most folks come to me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and at their wit’s end, unsure how to handle a dog who pulls, jumps, chews, or explodes around other dogs. It can feel like every outing is a battle, and every day at home is stressful.
They stay because I help them:
- Turn chaotic walks into calmer, more enjoyable outings
- Help their dog settle instead of bouncing off the walls
- Make sense of reactivity and big emotions
- Gain confidence taking their dog places without fear or frustration
If you’re ready to feel more calm, capable, and connected with your dog, let’s see how I can help you!
