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.
I highly recommend Texas K9!! They take wonderful care of the dogs at this facility, and the training is done with work and dedication. Our dog loved his trainer.

Brandon and Taryn are the absolute best. They took my 3 month old GS puppy and turned him into a disciplined dog in seven weeks. After about six weeks at home, he will go back for some intense personal protection training. The best trainers around, no doubt. I’d you have any issue with your dog, don’t waste another minute. Call them.

I moved to Tyler from Charlotte where I was working with a good quality trainer for my 15 month German Shepherd. I went a number of times to a highly regarded trainer in Dallas but was not satisfied with the patience and attention I was getting. Looking in this Tyler area I noticed Texas K9 Solutions and their focus on Protection and Working dogs. After training with Texas K9 Solutions I’ve been impressed with their patience with both the dog and the owners. This is important to me in that the training is of course the dog but also the owner and their goals.
Brandon Stone is a kind and generous person with both the dogs and owners, creating a pleasant atmosphere and a style of training that not only teaches the dog to do what’s asked but with confidence and security. You can see the confidence of the government, police, other trainers and individuals by who attends. His training is definitely for a serious defense oriented training and not limited to obedience. Needless to say I recommend Texas K9 Solutions for a serious owner.
