What would I do without Clayton and Mysja!? The difference between when my pup started working with them to now is night and day. They’ve been incredible not only working with her, but also training me. I used to get anxiety walking my pup because of her reactivity, feeling like I had little control over her behavior and totally unsure how to handle it. Now, I have all the tools to navigate unexpected situations and keep up the good behavior she’s learned from them. She is walking next to me, has great recall, will heal and sit on command, and is my hiking and coffee shop buddy. I’m so grateful for Clayton and Mysja who got my pup to a great place and showed her so much love and care along the way. Couldn’t recommend them more!!!

The only trainers I’ll ever trust with my dog.I brought my dog Rusty to Clayton and Mysja after rescuing him from a hunting plantation, and he came in raw: nervous, unsure, and showing signs of resource guarding. From day one, they were incredible. They didn’t just train Rusty; they taught me how to understand him, support him, and bring out the best in him.Their approach is firm, clear, and never coddling , exactly what Rusty needed. They were patient with his fears, consistent with his training, and celebrated every small win with us. They got him walking politely on leash, built up his confidence, and most importantly, successfully e-collar trained him. Now he has a solid recall and gets to do what good pointers do best: run, explore, and frolic with total freedom.Rusty is a different dog now, happier, calmer, and more connected to me, and it’s all because of them. I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog.If you want trainers who know what they’re doing, who tell you the truth, who guide both the dog and the owner, and who create real change, they’re your people!

Clayton is fantastic! He’s helped us transform our dogs behavior in just a few sessions and now our lives with our dog are stress free and he’s living his best off leash life. He’s professional, patient, and really knows how to connect with dogs. Highly recommend if you want real results with a trainer who truly cares!

Mysja and Clayton are incredibly talented and educated in canine behavior. They are some of the few people I would trust with my own dogs.

Clayton and Misa did an excellent job working with our pup Moo in a board and train at their place! Clayton was very thorough telling us what he was going to do and then giving us an at home session with Moo once he was done with the weeks of training. His expertise and care is evident and I’m so glad that we found Austin Dog Culture! Moo has so many new skills and we are already excitedly reinforcing what he has been learning.

Thank you, Clayton and Mysa!Before Rusty’s month-long board and train, he ran the household. While he wasn’t aggressive, we needed help with manners, crate training, and recall. Now, Rusty follows commands beautifully, has excellent recall, and still keeps his fun, spunky personality. If you're looking for the best place for your dog, ATX Dog Culture is unbeatable!

We are super appreciative of Clayton and Mysja at Austin Dog Culture! They were great with our pup, but also so helpful in walking me through how to supplement what they were working on and teaching me to encourage the same behaviors. We had a great experience with their training and would certainly recommend them.

Clayton is amazing! I was very overwhelmed with my puppy, but after working with him he gave me the confidence and advice I needed. I saw changes THE NEXT DAY with his help. Every day keeping up with his advice and tips I have seen improvement from my puppy.Highly recommended if your needing assistance, worth every dollar!!!

Clayton helped us to identify the root of our dog’s reactivity and tackle it in an effective way. He gave us tools to work on her confidence and it didn’t take long before we started seeing a whole new side of our dog! Was worth every penny. Here’s my mandatory doggy pic:

There is an overwhelming amount of dog trainers in the Austin area. Clayton and his assistant, sorry M, I don’t know how to spell your name are above and beyond fantastic. I have 2 Malteses that need some behavioral/manners training. Clayton took the time to explain “dog world language” and assisted me on several problems I’ve been having. He went out of his way, explained everything clearly and was GREAT! If I wasn’t suffering from 2 back surgeries and not currently working, I would have 100% hired him again and again. Very nice and professional folks! Diane H

I cannot recommend Clayton's dog training services enough! After trying three other trainers who couldn't help with my dog's aggression issues, I was starting to lose hope. Living with a dog displaying aggressive behavior was incredibly difficult and stressful. It affected every aspect of our lives, making simple outings and interactions a challenge. Then, I found Clayton, and everything changed. His expertise and patience were evident from the first session. He took the time to understand my dog's unique challenges and developed a tailored plan that worked wonders. Now, my dog is calmer, more obedient, and the aggressive behavior is a thing of the past. Clayton truly has a gift for working with dogs, and I am so grateful for his help. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior, don't hesitate to reach out to Clayton – he's the best!

There are not enough positive words to describe Wensley and Clayton. I adopted a mixed breed two years ago with the sweetest personality but also a need to have things his way. I have had dogs all my life but never had one with more needs than Luca. I tried what I thought was everything but I didn’t have a clue! My initial conversation with Clayton gave me insight into my relationship with my dog. Wensley took us on and my world changed. Wensley has a presence that is quiet, and kind, but immediately Luca knew who was in charge, at which point he started to relax and appeared almost relieved. Two weeks in and people commented that he was a different dog. Truth be know, it’s about training the owner and the dog just follows along! I had no idea how much I didn’t know about dogs. Wensley gave me the tools and confidence to develop a rewarding relationship with Luca. Once that relationship was established and consistently reinforced, everything fell into place. This training was worth more than I can say, worth every bit of time and money and I would do it all again. Can’t recommend them enough!!!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Wensley & Clayton / Austin Dog Culture. I came to Austin Dog Culture seeking assistance with my VERY fearful German Shepherd, Annabelle. From the first consultation, Clayton was transparent about expectations for Annabelle, as her problems were behavioral/fear-related and not basic obedience. She ended up doing a board and train due to her situation. I am a worrier, and it was difficult leaving Annabelle. But after meeting Clayton and Wensley in person, I knew she was safe and in good hands. Annabelle has been home for a week, and I can confidently say that her life and future have improved. Her fear had previously been to the point that she couldn’t even go outside if neighbors were out. We couldn’t walk her, except at 5 AM when no strange people or noises were outside. And trips in our camper were challenging, to say the least. While Annabelle will likely always have an anxious personality because that’s just who she is. She has now been taught positive behaviors to do instead of panicking and attempting to escape. She can walk in a heel past something scary instead of dragging me down the street. She can hold a place or down while things happen around her without hiding under something or running away. She’s made so much progress after working with Wensley that I can now continue to practice with her, reinforce these behaviors, and continue to build her confidence. Wensley also gave us lots of needed advice and insight on continuing her structure at home, including incorporating our other German shepherd. I highly recommend Austin Dog Culture for any training needs!

***WENSLEY IS SUPERIOR!!*** After a failed attempt by a previous trainer I was very skeptical about looking for another. After meeting WENSLEY all of my skepticism went away. Not only did she listen to my concerns and worries about how my dog needed to be trained, She took the time To listen TO MY PUP. Wensley adapted to my pups needs and now I HAVE A WELL MANNERED AND RECALLABLE dog!! I’m Extremely impressed!!! 6/5 Stars if could!!! ***HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!***

Not only do I credit Wensley with providing the most trustworthy and reliable training advice I’ve ever received, but I credit her with helping me maintain my sanity while raising an extremely spirited kooikerhondje puppy. This is my first time with a dog bred to work and the challenges that came along with it felt extremely overwhelming prior to working virtually with Wensley. She’s taught me how to give my dog a fulfilling life and how to provide the fair and consistent structure he needs to feel confident and happy. Whenever I’ve second guessed myself she’s been available to talk me off a ledge with advice rooted in her own lived training experience. If there’s any business worth trusting to give your dog the best life possible it’s Austin Dog Culture.

Working with Wensley has changed our lives. We looked into several programs before moving forward with Austin Dog culture and we’re so happy we did. The amount of care and time they put into each training session sets them apart. Before we started I was so nervous as to what corrections would look like and now I see how they train the dog in front of them and make appropriate corrections per each dogs temperament. Our fear reactive dog Koa was craving structure and safety which Wensley helped us to implement. He has grown into being a more confident and calm dog through our training sessions. He was reactive on leash to other dogs and reactive to new people. Now he is no longer showing dog reactivity on our walks and making progress on his reactivity to new people at coffee shops. Last night we introduced a new person in our house and it was a night and day difference. By the end of the night, Koa was sitting under the new person seeking pets. I no longer feel the same level of stress when new people will be coming over because I now know how to better set Koa up for success and how to make corrections if he does react. At the end of training, Wensley has left us with many ideas to continue his training and help him continue to progress. We will be forever grateful to Wensley and Austin Dog Culture as we continue to implement the tools we’ve learned to help Koa be the best version of himself.

I can honestly say that my experience with Austin Dog Culture was life changing! I have a 1 yr old German Shepherd Dog who was high strung, barking at everyone, and lunging at other dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and have 3 other rescue GSD currently. When he barked and growled at a little girl at the vet's office, I knew I needed help. That's where Clayton from ADC comes in. We did 4 weeks of training with Clayton and both Koda and I learned a lot. Clayton spent time getting to know Koda before determining a training plan. The result has been a total transformation that I will continue building upon with what Clayton taught me. The great thing about Clayton and Wensley's approach vs "board and train" is (1) you don't miss a month of your dog's life (2) less expensive and (3) you get feedback and homework every day so you can learn along side your dog. With board and train, you get maybe a couple hours at the end and then you are on your own. The training only sticks if you put in the effort to maintain it because there's no magic fairy dust here. It's clear how much Clayton loves dogs and understands them. He was also kind enough to share observations and tips about my other dogs that helped me correct some challenging behaviors I thought I had to live with since they are rescues. This was truly one of the best investments I have ever made and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Clayton made me a better pup parent and my Koda is now officially a very good boy. I'm forever grateful!

I am so impressed with the training program from Austin Dog Culture. When I met with Clayton for the initial consult, it was clear how invested he is in all of his clients. What I loved about the program from the get-go, is that there isn't just one training method applied to all dogs. Clayton and Wensley truly go out of their way to understand each dog, and make sure the approach is what will work for the dog and their owners.Wensley was our trainer, and she has been absolutely incredible. Above and beyond doesn't even begin to describe her dedication. She has answered every single one of our questions, and made sure every step of the way we understood what we needed to do to see the results we were looking for with our pup.Our dog is a mutt with a mix of guardian, herding, and sporting breeds, and has no obvious external motivators (including food), which had proven to be a challenge for us when it came to continuing his training on our own. Wensley has SO much knowledge into each breed's unique traits, and she found exactly what worked to help him improve his listening skills, manners, and most importantly, RECALL.Most importantly, she really helped us to learn what we needed to do to see the results we were looking for. Owner education is probably the most important piece of training, and Wensley really helped us to learn so much about tools, behaviors, and practices to work with our pup.Literally everyone who has visited us has commented on how they have seen improvement in our dog's manners and listening in such a short period of time. He will even follow direction from my 3 year old!Most importantly, Wensley helped us learn the skills necessary to keep up with the training even after the program has ended.Ten stars. Will recommend to everyone, hands down.

I hired Clayton to work with my two mixed-breed dogs on leash walking. We got that and so much more! My dogs are ~4 and ~5 years old so I had low expectations as to how much success we’d have, but it turned out to be one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Clayton took the time to get to know each of my dogs and our lifestyle, offering tips and tricks on how to navigate a variety of different situations. He is so clearly passionate about his work and his clients. He unselfishly shared his knowledge and insights, teaching me how to be a better dog owner. We truly enjoyed our 3 weeks with Clayton and would recommend him to our closest friends. If you’re on the fence, just do it! You will be so glad you did.

I have a year and half Golden Retriever that had a hard time in his early life being hectic with little exposure to the world since we lived in the country. Loosing both of his companion dogs, dealing with the California fire evacuations and dealing with his owner healing from hip surgery to packing up and moving to Texas including the drive to our new home left him a shy and unsure of the outside world.Being shy to start with from the litter I saw in Gally his quick recovery time and underlining sweet personality. Once we were settled was time to get him the help he needed which was aimed towards a behaviorist, this is when I got connected to Austin Dog Culture with Wensley and Clayton.Wensley is a total dear Their introduction four week course with daily lessons was just the ticket. Starting slow to get to know both Gally and me was a great start. Growing with his exposure training at Gally’s pace and explaining all as we progressed and changing some of my past training habits to fit a dog like Gally was incredibly. Wensley is always open to answering questions, repeating what I wasn’t catching onto and giving examples which is very helpful for me. Not only have I seen such an improvement but others have raved above his improvement.I have chosen to do some continued training to help guide both of us for whatever we may face in the future.
