Board and train takes the commute out of the equation entirely. Your dog stays two to eight weeks, the training happens daily and consistently rather than squeezed around a work schedule, and then Katie coaches you through holding it once the dog is home. For a lot of Houston households that is the only version that realistically works.
Virtual classes are the second route. Live sessions from wherever you are, booked singly or as a package of six, aimed at a specific problem rather than a general curriculum: the leash, the door, the recall, the barking at the window.
Private in-home classes reach the parts of west Houston that fall within fifteen miles of Katy. If you are unsure whether your address qualifies, ask on the call.

West Houston covers a lot of ground, and the training needs vary with it. Inside the Loop and around the Energy Corridor, most of the work is leash manners and door behavior in tight spaces with constant foot traffic. Further out toward the Katy line, it is more often recall in unfenced yards and dogs who have learned that the back door means freedom.
Board and train suits West Houston owners who commute. Your dog stays in a residential setting for two to eight weeks, comes back with the behavior installed, and you get the handover sessions that teach you how to keep it. Virtual classes work well if your schedule will not hold a fixed weekly appointment, and they cover more than people expect: management, routine, marker timing and homework you can actually run in a townhouse.
