More than 20,000 homes in the Houston area are a lot more peaceful than they used to be, thanks to local dog-training guru Jim Burwell and his patented canine calming methods.
Now, he’s launched a mission to spread that peace to Dallas and tap into the $25 billion pet services industry with his new franchise – Jim Burwell’s Petiquette.
After building a successful career in commercial banking for more than two decades, Burwell felt it was time to trade in his expertise in a business in banking to business in barking. Better known locally as “The Houston Dog Whisperer,� Burwell has become one of the area’s most established and thriving dog trainers. His at-home dog training process, The Burwell Method, applies to canines of virtually all breeds and their owners.
With one Houston franchise up and running, Burwell has been actively pursuing other markets throughout the state of Texas for growth of the Petiquette franchise in the state and then nationwide.

I’m from Houston and I can vouch for the excellent skill set the Petiquette trainers have. Mr. Burwell does an outstanding job of giving franchisees the skill set of dog training and the skill set of running your own business. It’s a sure way to succeed. What could be better than taking your passion for dogs and making a great living doing it.
