Brad, the lead trainer and co-owner, came to dog training after a corporate career in finance and accounting. According to his bio, struggling to manage his own Belgian Malinois led him to study at multiple training schools and seminars, eventually earning what the business describes as a Certified Master Dog Trainer and Behaviorist credential. He now oversees all training programs personally from start to finish. Helen, his partner, transitioned from the medical field to train alongside him after watching his work with that same dog.
The Conroe property is home-based, meaning dogs stay where the trainers live rather than in a traditional kennel setup. Their site describes the facility as including three fenced acres, a pond, an indoor training space, and a pool, with security cameras throughout and regular sanitization using veterinary-grade products. Carlisle K9 Dog Training states they've worked with over 750 dogs across 17 years in business.
They describe their approach as "balanced," combining positive reinforcement with structure and accountability. The business says it works with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with reactivity, aggression, or fear-based issues, evaluating each case individually. Beyond standard board-and-train and private lessons, they list service dog training, personal protection training, Belgian Malinois breeding, and a rescue and rehoming service among their offerings.
