We took our Molly, 6 month Labradoodle, to Abraham and didn’t really know what to expect. He made us feel very comfortable leaving Molly with him for training. He was very up front, stating Molly had some anxiety that he would work through and he made it clear that Molly would be the same lovable dog when we pick her up as when we left her. He said she would not be a military dog, she would be just as loving as the day we got her. Sure enough, everything he said has come true. Molly responses very well to the commands he taught her and no longer has anxiety with loud noises, crowds or other dogs. Abraham has definitely found his second calling. We will be in touch with him for refreshers in the future.

Simply put Abe is the best trainer! You will not regret your decision to train your dog with him. In fact stop reading this and run to his website to book a consult. I have a year and half cattle dog mix rescue who was afraid for the world and start showing signs of fear aggression. She had been to a couple other trainers with luck. I found Abe on Facebook and followed him for a good while before I booked my consult. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago I went for a consult and my pup was a jerk to him and he said he would take her that day start her board and train. He went and bought her food and the rest is history. My pup is now a well behaved and more confident dog! Abe is super easy to work with and teaches you everything you need to know before taking your dog home. The first pic is her first day with him and you can see the difference!!

I took my 1 year American staffy mix to Abe at Alamo city dog trainer and immediately felt confident and comfortable with him. He is a honest no bullshi* up front kind of guy. I enrolled my Charlie in the 2 week board and train program, he has been home for a couple days now and wow! Abe turned my out of control stubborn anxious boy into a calm, confident and obedient boy. He is still the same goofy loving Charlie just listens way better. I also got to see what he was up to the 2 weeks he was gone with videos on Alamo city dog trainers Facebook which was really cool and exciting to see the progress. I highly recommend Abe he is the dog whisperer!!

Let me just start off by saying, just during the consultation alone, I was impressed with how Abe was able to connect with my very stubborn 4yo blue heeler, Dallas. She went through the 21day board and train and WOW was it worth every penny! I even joked about my doggo being switched out with another one lol I couldn’t believe how well Dallas did. She is more confident and focused when I work with her now, I’m not having to worry about dislocating a shoulder on walks around the neighborhood. She isn’t distracted by her surrounds, all around just such an improvement. Abe kept me posted with her progress, I was also able to see it through social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok). All around a great program. I highly recommend Him for training. Thanks Abe for being so badass and the help with Dallas!
