The most unique specialized board and train program for your special dog! We always wanted to provide an environment that we would be OK leaving our service dog Charlie in. The only way he would ever be comfortable would be in a home. So that is exactly what we provide to our clients. With years of experience and education in canine training and behavior and service dog training we set the bar pretty high for ourselves and train every dog the same. Don't send your dog to a big facility where there are 60 dogs and one dog trainer. (This is NOT one of those programs) so it takes so much longer is because they book up too many clients. We are force free dog trainers because we do not use shock collars or prong collars of any kind.

Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.
Where does my dog sleep when with you for board and train?
If your dog sleeps in a kennel at home your dog sleeps in a kennel here. If your dog sleeps with you at home your dog sleeps in the bed here. We do not warehouse dogs here. We are keeping the board and train program as close to their own home as possible so the transferring of learned behaviors is easier for them since dogs do not generalize well.

My wife and I found Keisha and Valerie of the Service Dog Team Academy through google. We were looking for an official training school to have our two French Bull Dogs service trained (we found plenty of websites where for a fee we could get them “certified” but wanted something more official). I called the Academy and spoke to Keisha for almost 45 minutes. She walked me through the process, the fee structure and why we should trust our dogs to Keisha and Valerie. Her passion for what she does was apparent and was sold that it was not a pay to play type scenario. Their method is what some may think as unconventional, but extremely effective. Let me start by saying Valerie and Keisha are all about the animals, their safety and making sure the dog has the temperament and personality to become a service dog. So to their method. They offer board and train as well as owner based training. We opted to have our puppy, coco, do the board and train and our older dog, Bond, only do owner based training, as we thought that would be enough. Coco spent two weeks with Valerie and Keisha at their home, working hard and paying even harder. We received daily updates, pictures and videos of her progress including summary of what coco was working on. At the end of those two weeks, coco returned home just as playful as before, but a bit more focused. Coco then proceeded through the owner based training and will graduate soon.
As for Bond, well he is a bit of a different story. We opted not to board and train, but found that his personality is one of guarding and protecting. We had a few incidents in our home with one of our other dogs where they would spontaneously go at each other. This concerned us greatly, and asked Keisha and Valerie if we could send Bond to them for the board and train. The thought was to see if Bond could benefit from additional work of socialization with other dogs. Keep in mind Bond was a little hesitant with Keisha…. I think he knew that his cute eyes would not work on her. Off Bond went for two weeks, my wife and I hoping he would behave and work out some of his behavioral oddities. As with Coco, Keisha and Valerie provided daily updates, picture and videos of his progress. We now understand that Bond has some personality traits and characteristics that are innate and we will need to watch and work with him on. Keisha was up front with us about Bond and whether he could pass the service test requirements given some of his behavioral traits and that she would not pass him just to pass him. They do not compromise on their program and the requirements needed. Their integrity to the system and no-bs approach to their trade is what impressed me about them.
The program is not inexpensive, but well worth it. If I could do it all over again, I would have taken their advice to enroll both Bond and Coco in both the board and train program and owner training. We are almost there and can’t wait for Bond and Coco to graduate, receive their service vests and certification cards. I highly recommend Keisha and Valerie and their business Service Dog Team Academy

Our boy had been trained so well. We adopted a mixed breed who was abandoned in a drain pipe in south Texas. He’s very afraid of people and started out a bit chaotic. After his first two weeks of training, he’s responding to commands very well. During his two weeks away, we received regular updates with videos and photos on how he was doing. He’s on track to be trained as a service dog and I’m excited to see what all he’ll still learn!

I have had an amazing experience with canine solutions Dallas! My dog went to the two-week boarding and I received updates and pictures. Once I brought my dog home any questions or concerns I had Valerie and Keisha were quick to help. They are amazing with the dogs and you can tell they are passionate about what they do.
