Specialized Training Methods
Obedience, retrieval, Schutzhund-style
Mike's extensive experience includes training in obedience, behavior modification, hunt and field training for retrievers, and Schutzhund-style training. Having successfully trained thousands of dogs locally, K-9 Manners of Texas has become the “go-to” name among veterinarians when other training attempts have failed.
At the start of his career, Mike gained valuable insight working as a veterinarian technician, learning to discern early clues about a dog's physical health and how health conditions might affect training and behavior.
As both an avid hunter and dog lover, Mike understands the unique needs of working dogs and family pets alike. He has enjoyed breeding American Staffordshire Terriers and now focuses on breeding top-notch field Labradors with excellent household pet temperaments.
Mike keenly understands that his customers are dog lovers, not just dog owners. As a “member of the family,” your dog's good “K-9 manners” are a necessity.
Your family's enjoyment of your beloved pet, its quality of life, and even its safety are enhanced by obedience training.
Training includes teaching the whole family their role in the dog's successful behavior within the family and community.
“A dog trained properly makes all the difference when guiding a pet in the right direction. My goal is to help every dog become a well-mannered family member that brings joy, not stress, to their home.”
— Mike Jeter, K-9 Manners of Texas
Mike has two wonderful children who love helping out at times—hugging, walking, relating to, or just being present as part of the “distraction” in a real-world training setting.
Graduation time includes teaching the trainee's whole family, including the children, in their role in the dog's successful behavior within the family and community. This ensures everyone knows how to maintain the training and the dog responds to all family members.
For over 30 years, Mike has developed trusted relationships with dogs and their families through achieving desired training results. Many clients are now on their second or third generation of companion pets and hunting dogs with K-9 Manners.
Mike grew up in Spring, Texas, as a lover of the outdoors—hunting, fishing, frequently with a dog by his side. After graduating from Klein Oak High School, he continued his education at Lone Star College while working with dogs.
His connection to the Spring community runs deep. Mike knows the local dog parks, understands the unique needs of Texas dogs, and has built lasting relationships with area veterinarians, kennels, and pet owners.
When you work with Mike, you're working with a true local expert who has dedicated his life to helping Spring-area dogs and their families thrive together.
