Jeff
Co-owner, Trainer
Jeff Murphrey is co-owner of Canine Country Club. He attended Triple Crown Dog Trainer Academy, the world’s largest and most comprehensive training, behavior, and event center for dogs. He has since trained dogs professionally, working with all breeds. Jeff’s love of animals was apparent as a child when he relentlessly rescued any animal, giving them a safe home and lots of love.
Jeff grew up training animals, both horses and dogs. As a child, he developed a special skill for raising well-mannered animals. His talent and passion for animal training led him to his destination today. After 20 years of practicing law in Houston, Jeff decided to do what he truly loves: care for dogs. He and his wife, Adrienne, have spent the last 2 years planning and preparing for Canine Country Club. He lives in Houston with his wife, three dogs, two guinea pigs and two frogs.
Adrienne
Co-owner, Manager
Adrienne Murphrey is co-owner of Canine Country Club and the brains behind the business. As the sole owner of her own law firm for 10 years, Adrienne has a strong track record of establishing a successful enterprise. She knows how to evolve a business so that it is consistently meeting the needs of its clients. More importantly, she has a deep appreciation for client satisfaction and values having strong relationships with each of them.
Setting business aside, Adrienne, too, has an unyielding affection for dogs. Adrienne has been the loving mother of many dogs, from the loyal Rottweiler to the playful and eager Pomeranian. Like Jeff, Adrienne decided to turn in her cases to care for dogs full time; and so she began developing Canine Country Club. She lives in Houston with her husband, three dogs, two guinea pigs and two frogs.
