About Us

We value the relationship between a dog and it's guardian. We use scientific, creative, proven, positive techniques to help you manage and understand your canine family. We advocate for fear free and reward based training. We will never use pain or fear to train your dog. With Dogs 'N Action you won't be asked to buy an expensive shock collar or an aversive prong collar. Our methods do not include special tools.

Climate Controlled Training Center

Our 1500' building is the first training building in Odessa, Texas. We are locally owned. Our weather here is pretty predictable: Winter, mild. Spring,windy. None of which is conducive to outdoor classes. We are excited to be able to offer indoor classes.
