It started with an emergency heart bypass surgery and a puppy that I had been doing my best with, a happy and overly energetic 50 lb 8 month old, and smarter than me on most days, training was a challenge when I was at my best.

Our boy Frenchie came in with a bite on his record and aggression towards people and dogs. We were at a complete loss on what to do and had a lot of anxiety about placing him in a board and train. However once we met Abigail all of our worries were eased. She completely exceeded our expectations. She was great with working with him as well as teaching us what to do in many situations and scenarios. Now that he's home I'm confident that we can handle things no problem. Abigail made sure to send plenty of videos and photos during his stay with her and continues to remain open to any questions we may have in the future. Totally recommend this business to anyone needing their dog professionally trained 😊

It started with an emergency heart bypass surgery and a puppy that I had been doing my best with, a happy and overly energetic 50 lb 8 month old, and smarter than me on most days, training was a challenge when I was at my best. The puppy jumped on my wife and knocked her over when I cam home from surgery. I found Texas Canine Training that day and Abigail came to the rescue! 6 weeks later we received a completely different dog! Our Rosie is calm, obedient, and happy, we are happy, we can take her anywhere with pride!
And let me add that Abigail and James are really fine people, I recommend them highly! Your dog will love you for calling Texas Canine Training!

We sent our pup, Charlie, through the advanced board and train with Abigail to focus on addressing his aggression toward other dogs and fear of strangers. In a few short weeks, it feels like we have a different dog! Abigail successfully and positively trained Charlie to respond to e-collar - giving us and him the freedom to live leash free without concern. Along with the training provided through the board and train, Abigail has been an amazing and available resource for answering questions, helping guide us on our training path, and helping us better understand why Charlie reacts the way he sometimes does.
If you’re struggling with a dog who has aggression challenges or you just want more confidence with, Texas Canine Training and Abigail are a great choice. I would highly recommend!

Christina Deel6 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Christina has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Absolutely wonderful! Abigail trained my daughter’s German Shepherd in both obedience and service dog work. She transformed her from a reactive, skittish puppy who struggled around other animals and thought she was in charge, into a calm, confident, and obedient dog.
Today, she can handle challenging environments, including being stalked by the big cats at the zoo, with impressive composure. She reliably sits, lays down, stays, heels, and tucks on command, and is now learning anxiety alert tasks. We are incredibly proud of how far she has come in such a short time.
Abigail is a fantastic trainer and teacher. She is patient with both the dog and my daughter, and she makes sure we get plenty of real-world training experience in a variety of environments, not just basic obedience sessions. Her focus on practical exposure has made all the difference.
Thanks to Abigail’s dedication and expertise, my daughter will have an additional layer of support and independence when she leaves for college. That means more to our family than I can express. I cannot recommend Abigail highly enough!

I purchased a group of 6 private lessons, perfectly designed for our puppy to teach him door manners, commands, leash training, and obedience. Her experience and natural ability to connect with our puppy and with me fostered an environment of success and positive learning. She helped us problem solve too: how should the puppy behave around children and what to do when the puppy wants to bite? I cannot say enough about Abigail’s professionalism and knowledge! I plan on using her again in the future for off-leash trading as well. I would highly recommend her! She’s worth every penny!

Several months ago I started having horrible aggression issues my 9 year old husky and 4 year old Aussie. The two would get in intense fight causing harm to each other. My husband and I were at a loss of what to do and was considering putting on down. Due to them not being able to be in the same room without trying to attack. A friend recommended this amazing training facility. I couldn’t be more pleased and thrilled with the results they did for my puppies. It’s night and day difference, my family would not be complete right now if it wasn’t for Abigale and her husband. She reunited my family and gave us tips to keep the training up and everyone staying safe. I highly highly highly recommend using them for ALLLLLLL training needs. The price is worth everything that she does. Your dogs will be all the more better for it. I’d drive across country for her help if I had to.

Rebeca Burgess7 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Rebeca has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Late 2024, just before the new year, I had the pleasure of getting to know Abigail. I was feeling the strain of isolation due to illness. I needed a companion; not just any companion either. I have special needs due to a rare lung condition, so the breed had to be just right. After many conversations and a lot of careful considerations, Abigail invited me over to meet Snickers whom I now call Ellapeditah. Ella had a rough background and would need to be an only. Abigail helped my fur-panion overcome fear and aggressive tendencies. Then she did some off-leash train with her for me.
Today, just over a year later, I have a constant loyal companion in Ellapeditah; she’s happy running OFF-LEASH, minding the boundaries and coming 99% of the time. The other one percent, well she will take her time, but she comes. I give her that.
I thank God for Abigail. She is compassionate, professional and very good at what she does! Did I mention that, out of the kindness of her heart, Abigail gave me Snickers/Ellapeditah free-of-charge?! She did. I didn’t have to return her after our two week trial in late January of 2025. Thanks for all you do, Abigail.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Abigail! She was incredibly flexible and worked around my hectic work schedule, plus traveled to our home for the sessions, which made the entire process so convenient for us.
We were specifically struggling with food aggression in our 10 month old Labrador puppy. it was to the point of us being concerned that she may snap at a child or anyone around her food. In just 2 sessions, the issue was completely resolved. Of course, we had to put in the work as owners, but it was so relieving to see the transformation.
What truly set her apart is how she trains YOU as an owner as much as she trains your dog. She has such a deep understanding (and clearly love) of K9 behavior and explains how dogs think in a way that’s easy to grasp and actually apply to every day life. It completely changed how we communicate with our pup.
Abigail is patient, knowledgeable, and truly gifted at what she does. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a dog trainer!

We had an excellent experience with TCC and couldnt be happier with the results. I had two larger dogs go through the 6 weeks advanced board to train course. Throughout that time, Abigail was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly very experienced with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. She’s very well versed in dog language.
The communication was solid, she would send updates through out the week multiple times with videos and photos of their progress. The transition back home was handled with care and guidance so I knew how to maintain progress as we went. Abigail is very patient not just with the dogs but with me as well. It’s a learning process for you and your dog. I saw improvements in structure, responsiveness, and overall behavior that had lasted long term.
I would absolutely recommend TCC to anyone looking to train their dog in basic and or advanced obedience.
