I am Paddy Donovan ABCDT, a certified professional dog trainer. That is my lap dog Hazel. I have been a dog trainer and enthusiast my whole life. I am a crossover trainer which means I used to use training collars on my dogs.
Once I found Positive Reinforcement training I dropped the harsh method completely and now I am proud to be a Dog Training Professional, bringing this beautiful way to communicate with your dog to the Lake Jackson and surrounding communities of Brazoria County, Texas.

I am Amy Donovan, owner and trainer of Citizen Canines. Thats Hazel behind me, hes our Cane Corso.
I am happy to bring this lovely method to teach your friend how to be successful in our human world, to my hometown. We live in Lake Jackson and our kids go to school here and as our business grows, we are building a community that sees dogs through the lens of empathy and kindness.
Positive reinforcement training changed my view of dogs and dog training. Dogs are smarter and able to learn not to obey, but to communicate and be a partner to you. Working with clients to improve their understanding of their dogs behavior is my passion. When pet dog owners see their dog
Meet Citizen Canines
Shaping Trust with Kindness
Have you ever seen a well-trained dog? I remember the first trained dog I ever saw. It was amazing to see how calm he was, seated next to his Dad.
Fast forward to when Paddy and I began talking about beginning Citizen Canines we wanted to help people's lives with their dogs be easier with more cooperative, predictable behavior in their dogs. Better communication between people and their dogs is the best way to begin.
We are proud to offer positive reinforcement to families in our area, to keep dogs in their homes and happy for their entire life because their family has the best most up-to-date information on dog behavior.
We want to change the view of pet dogs in Brazoria county. To build a positive dog community. Keeping dogs in their homes because their behavior doesn't become a problem for the family.
