Our StoryTraining with heart & science
A Refined Canine was born from a simple belief: every dog deserves clear communication, kindness, and evidence-based training. Discover how we serve Georgetown, Round Rock, Austin, and the communities in between — and why families trust us with their dogs.
About A Refined Canine
Professional training, rooted in the Hill Country
Founded by Adrienne, A Refined Canine brings professional, positive-based dog training to the Georgetown, Round Rock, and greater Austin area. What started as a passion for helping dogs and people understand each other has grown into a full training practice — with programs designed for real life, not just the classroom.
We believe that every dog is trainable and that well-behaved dogs enhance the lives of everyone around them. The journey of life is sweeter when traveled with a dog.
Scientifically proven methods
We use positive-based, force-free training — no fear, no intimidation — so learning sticks and relationships stay strong.
AKC-aligned programs
All training programs follow national AKC regulations and requirements, so you can progress with confidence toward recognized goals.
