Texas K9 Solutions

Cash spend 7 weeks at Texas K-9 Solutions. He had a few behavioral issues that needed to be corrected right away. I must say I was Leary of leaving him for the 7 week training, but felt very comfortable after meeting Taryn and the owner. I have nothing but respect for what they do!! Taryn worked with Cash on his behavioral issues and I must say, he is a changed dog. Still loving and happy to be home, but he actually listens!! Sure, we have to be diligent on keeping up on the training but the reward is a wonderful dog. If you have any doubt about bringing your pet here, lose the doubt and bring them. Actually thinking of bringing our other dog for training!!! Thanks for a fine job Taryn!!!!

I spent a really long time following Brandon’s Texas K9 Solutions’ Facebook page on how he trained dogs and even attended 2x on a Saturday at his bite club. After all the research, I thought I picked the best trainer I could for my dog Luna however, I was pretty dissatisfied with what my dog accomplished with him during a 6 weeks board and train. I sent my dog Luna for advance obedience and some reactivity she was having. She already knew basic obedience. When I went to pick her up, I was so sad inside to see how skinny my dog was. She looked weak as if she was starving and super dehydrated. You could see her ribs coming through and even stumble while I was there to pick her up. During the next few days of taking her home, I cried because I sent her to this board and train facility with this team. I did that to my dog and she didn’t get anything out of it except for high stress. It was wasted time, money and just traumatizing for me and my dog. It has been a couple of months now since I sent her (April 2024). I debated so much in writing this review because I thought maybe I am over reacting but after thinking about this so much and speaking with other trainers, this should have never happened to my dog. I was told that how my dog looked afterwards, I could have reported this trainer for animal abuse. Nobody ever contacted me about my dog losing so much weight and being the way she was when I picked her up. After I picked her up, I messaged Brandon and asked him why my dog came back home so skinny. He said he held my dog to the same standard for weight gain and loss as the Department of Defense. She was not overweight at drop off. She was 66lbs when I dropped her off and came back home at about 50 lbs even though he said otherwise when asked. I have pictures and videos to prove how she was a dropped off and how she was at pickup. She looked like a homeless dog who hasn’t eaten in days-weeks. Starving!! Until today, I can’t get over at how my girl Luna was after she was given back to me. As far as training, she gained nothing. She was not taken anywhere to work on reactivity. Her reactivity is the same. Her obedience training is the same. I am however working with her at home like before she went to this trainer which is what I should’ve continued to do. I don’t think I would never send my dogs to another board and train facility because of how my experience here was, it took that trust away from me. In addition, the email they sent me with things she had “learned” (all 5 commands that she already knew) while she was there, was generalized. They called my female dog a male dog over that email which I immediately knew they didn’t even write that for me. It’s probably the same email everyone gets. It sounded more like quantity over quality type of email, the same as my entire experience with him. If I could reverse time and not send her to this training facility, I would not take her here. You can see the difference below of when I drop off my dog to Texas K9 to after she was done with them.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Texas K-9 Solutions! They did such an amazing job with my big rescue Piper. She is on her way to being an 80 lb dog and I knew that I needed help getting her under control. The 2 week Board and Train Puppy Foundation course transformed her! She is so attentive, eager to please, and confident. She went from me having to corner and restrain her to get a leash on her to eagerly sitting and waiting for me to put it on. I follow their Facebook page and the work they do in all aspects of dog training is amazing! My second pup Libby is there now and I am looking forward to having 2 big, well-behaved girls. 🐶❤️🐶 They also taught me how to handle them and made me more confident with them 😊 This training has been the best investment I’ve ever made in a dog, well worth every penny!
