Man's Best Friend

Man’s Best Friend was founded on the simple premise of creating an environment to help families and dogs lead fun and fulfilling lives cohesively together. With training over 75,000 dogs and helping save thousands of dogs from being returned to the pound, they have done just that!

Man’s Best Friend was founded in July 1980 in Houston, Texas by the Bolander family. Their vision was to offer dog and owners a unique dog training center, providing personal assistance to each customer. Obedience, behavioral problem solving, and personal family protections services were now available in a private environment with programs designed to fit each customers specific goals and each dogs personality. Becoming the leader in the dog training industry was not accomplished over night however with hard work and perseverance the Bolander’s have accomplished their dream! In 1988 Man’s Best Friend expanded to the Dallas / Ft. Worth metroplex with the opening of its first store in Grand Prairie, Texas. They now have 6 locations and employ over 100 people collectively.

We have news for you: your dog is a party animal, and Dog Daycare at Man's Best Friend is the perfect place for them to let loose.
Dog Daycare is vital to socialization, physical health, and psychological health. No matter your dog's size, age, or breed, they will deeply benefit from some raucous playtime with their fellow pups.

Obedience training focuses on basic techniques such as sitting, waiting, staying, heeling, and coming when called. Even these simple techniques will help dogs learn to mind better, but we also cover behavioral issues such as those outlined above. The goal is not only to have your dog better behaved but to strengthen the relationship between you and your dog. Each training program is tailored to your dog’s personality and your family’s needs.
