Texas K9 Solutions

I brought my dog Piper to Texas Canine Solutions on August 27th for what was supposed to be a seven-week training program costing $3,200. I specifically asked them to teach her to focus heel, lie down on command, and stop her from attacking my goats. They called me on October 3rd—after just five weeks—saying Piper was ready for pickup and that she didn’t need any additional training time. I didn’t receive any refund for the boarding time that was cut short, but I took them at their word that she was fully trained. Unfortunately, the problems started almost immediately. On the second day home, Piper attacked one of my goats the moment she was off-leash, and I had to turn her training collar up to near maximum to stop her. Then, on December 18th, she killed three of my chickens. The final straw was on Christmas Eve when she killed one of my cats right in front of my grandchildren. In addition to these incidents, Piper never really learned the difference between “sit” and “down” and her heeling was basically non-existent. When I contacted the facility after the cat incident, they expressed shock and said I should have called them immediately. I explained that the major incidents had just occurred and that I’d been trying to manage the situation by keeping Piper away from the livestock. Ultimately, Piper even began growling at my wife after Christmas. When I reached out again for assistance in rehoming her or getting a refund, I was essentially ignored. I haven’t heard back from them at all. Given the cost and the outcome, this experience has been extremely disappointing. I can’t recommend Texas Canine Solutions and will be leaving a one-star review.
