Personalized Training with a Proven Approach

You’ll work one-on-one with Darlene Schaper — a compassionate, knowledgeable behaviorist with decades of experience helping dogs and their people thrive. With our private in-your-home sessions your dog will receive tailored guidance that meets their unique needs.

Between sessions, you’ll receive video lessons to support and reinforce your learning from that week. These visual tools — along with written resources — will guide you as you practice, grow, and step into confident leadership.

We’ve helped countless families — even those with the toughest behavioral challenges — build lasting, loving relationships with their dogs. You don’t have to do this alone. We’re here to help every step of the way.

“Our dog was a terror before Darlene from Artemis! We love our dog, but her constant barking and crazy behavior when we had guests over was driving us nuts. We needed help, but she's like a child to us. We were concerned about how to train her. Darlene was very good at calming our fears and explained everything in a way we could understand. Now when friends come to visit, they can’t believe she’s the same dog!” - Sandy W. Dallas

 "I adopted Kip from a local rescue. He had been so neglected for a long time that he did not know how to interact with other dogs or how to walk on a leash properly. He kept lunging towards everyone and every dog on our walks.  I can't imagine what Kip would have been like without Artemis Dog Training. Darlene helped transform Kip into a better dog, and I can't thank her enough.”                                    -Tina L.

“Our relationship with Wishbone is phenomenal now. We viewed this training opportunity as the last gasp. We we didn’t know what to do; we just could not handle interacting with him. After Darlene’s training, he is literally a part of the family unit now. We can keep him inside with us or outside. It’s made it really fun for him to be us, and you can tell he loves being a part of our family. The kids enjoy taking him outside and playing with him now and we are so thankful! “ - Michelle P., Farmers Branch, TX

Brody when he first came to us…

This was filmed just before Brodie went home from our Board and Train Program. Muzzle is off, he's relaxed enough to lay down, and follow sit command. His demeanor is more happy and confident, paying attention to me and not barking or lunging anymore.

“We took Rudy to the vet today to start his heart worm treatment and (without even telling the vet about his training) she reported that before they had done any sedation, Rudy seemed pretty calm and didn't growl at all when they took blood and then they took him on a walk and said he had much more confidence compared to other times that he's come in. I told them about the training and the vet said she could definitely tell!”

"The results were amazing.  Sassy is more obedient and attentive to me and my commands,  It’s really amazing with the proper training how quickly dogs respond to the commands.  I recommend Darlene to anyone wanting a more obedient dog, I was really impressed with her ability to not just train my dog but to teach me how to continue to train my dog"
