We are incredibly thankful to have discovered Liz and Texas K9 Academy! We took our 6-month-old dachshund to Liz for training. Before the training, our dog disliked walks, wasn’t fully potty trained, and didn’t respond well to commands. After the training, we were amazed by his transformation. He now behaves wonderfully, especially on walks, staying on our left and not pulling on the leash and Liz gave us training to continue to reinforce good behavior. Our favorite command is “place” and works great when people come to the door or we have guests over. Overall, he’s a much happier pup with clear boundaries. We can’t recommend Liz enough! We also continue to work with Texas K9 Academy for boarding, confident that our pup is in the best hands.

I highly recommend taking your dog to Texas K-9 Academy for training. She worked with our new Labrador puppy, Piper, and the results were remarkable. Before working with Liz, Piper pulled on her leash, ignored commands, and pushed through the door when it was opened. Now, she walks right beside us on her leash and heels & sits when we stop, she is a good listener, and she sits at an open door waiting patiently for her name to be called before she goes through it. We board Piper with Liz as well. Liz comes to pick her up and returns her when we get home, which is a HUGE help to me. Piper gets so excited to see her when she arrives - she loves Liz! You won't regret taking your dog to Texas K-9 Academy - worth EVERY penny! :)

I recently moved to the Flower Mound area with my two rottweilers. We previously lived in an area that the dogs were not often on leash and could run. Living in a more metro area, I knew I needed help with leash training as well as general manners. My dogs went to stay at K-9 Academy, and it was a complete game changer. K-9 Academy equipped our dogs with the skills they need to be successful in a variety of environments. Additionally, they took the time to teach me and my wife what we needed to know to keep the success going at home. We are very grateful for Liz and her family.

She had our dog for over 2 weeks and she does not teach her to come. I consider this one of the basic commands and an important one. So disappointed especially considering the cost.

My puppy spent 4 valuable weeks with Liz Kelly in her board and train program before coming home to us in New York. When he arrived here he was fully trained, obedient, socialized, crate trained and house trained! Liz was always accessible to us, whether by phone or text message, and she sent us photos and video. We highly recommend her without reservation!
