About Dog Savvy Dog Training
Dog Savvy Dog Training - Dog Training in Austin/Round Rock We help high-energy family dogs calm down, listen better, and become easy to live with.

Our focus is real-life behavior: calm at home, polite on walks, and easier day to day cooperation. Best for families looking for the support of a structured in-home program with clear, simple steps, not a one-session "quick-fix". Community-trusted, vet-referred, and dog mom approved since 2014 with tons of 5-star reviews from families who've been right where you are.

My dog's not aggressive - just a handful. Is this for us?
100%. Most of our clients have sweet, smart, overly friendly dogs who are just a lot. We help you calm the chaos and get back to enjoying your dog — without having to micromanage every moment.
Community answer · Dog Savvy Dog Training · 2025-09-21
Do you offer puppy classes?
Nope — we don’t do traditional group classes. What we offer is even better: a step-by-step system that helps you raise a calm, confident puppy who’s easy to live with and grows into an amazing adult dog. You don’t need to “keep up” with a class to get results.
Community answer · Dog Savvy Dog Training · 2025-09-21
Do you offer board and train?
We don’t offer board and train. We believe the best results come when you’re involved, right from the start. Our approach is designed to fit real life — so your dog learns how to behave well with you, not just for a trainer.

Gleason Dog Training has changed all of our lives for the better! Our dog Bear was a very anxious pup who needed a lot of help with controlling his emotions. We decided to go with Andrew and his team for a 4 week board and train and it was the best thing we could have done for Bear. Andrew’s training helped Bear in so many ways and also helped our family become better dog owners. We continue going back to Gleason Professional Dog Training for brush up training, which is a fantastic way to continue the skills that Bear learned the first time around! We also love that they offer boarding for their alumni dogs! Overall we have had a fantastic experience with GPDT and absolutely recommend them to anyone that is considering training for their furry loved ones!

Andrew and Brittany were AMAZING in helping me with my dog, Street! I found Street in the middle of the road one night (hence his name) and reached out to Andrew and Brittany for help. They immediately offered their guidance and support. Street had extremely high energy and had some trouble managing his emotions in new environments. After doing a 10-day board and train, following up with training sessions, and doing the homework Andrew sent me home with, I have seen amazing differences in the way Street regulates his emotions. He has much stronger impulse control and I feel confident taking him into new environments. I look forward to doing another board and train very soon!

Gleason is passionate about dogs and helping match dog breed/pick of litter with owner and making the relationship work! He's incredibly knowledgable about dog breed and behavior.... I'm not sure a dog could do anything that surprises him! He's a magician with our puppy, though he claims not to be. Andrew helps us as a partner and has been an incredible resource & support! through puppy training. He'll follow through in all troubleshooting and not settle until he/we get it right!! Gleason is a lifesaver (dogsaver!)
I needed help training my puppy for obedience. I wanted her to be able to become a therapy dog and she passed! The training was amazing and made such a difference. He trained our Sukalla and he trained me!
