We sent our anxious goldendoodle to a 3 week board/train program here and we are SO thankful to them and especially to her trainer Zak who taught her so much but was so kind to our anxious girl. He truly helped her realize the world isn't so scary after all. She came home knowing how to walk on a loose leash, solidified the command "down" and "place" and many other commands. He took her to coffee shops, pet smart, Lowe's to help practice these commands and work on her confidence. He was very thorough on teaching us everything at the end of the three weeks so we could keep up the hard work at home. They communicated with us every day for 3 weeks with videos and pictures and a thorough report card on how she was doing so we didn't have to worry or wonder. The program also included a free month training program online. We are so so thankful for cosmic canine and would recommend them a million times over again!! read more

We sent our puppy here for two week training and the results were excellent. We had checked out a few other places in the area, and spoke with the owners about their training philosophies and observed their facility and training and went ahead with this one and we are very happy we did. The staff are all fantastic. read more

Cosmic Canine worked wonders on my dog! I sent Hank there because he was reactive and would lunge at men. I sent him to Cosmic Canine for training, hoping he could learn to not react towards men. Brad took him and trained him for a week. Thank you Brad! Hank is a much better listener and walker now. I feel so lucky to have found Cosmic Canine and Brad. So much anxiety has been cleared for Hank and me. Thank you Brad and Cosmic Canine! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cosmic Canine! My baby Jack (a one-year old cairn terrier) went through Doggy Day School and was changed in all the best ways! He loves following rules and getting jobs to do. His manners have brought us even closer than we were before, which is really saying something because Jack and I spend every moment together. Now Jack goes to Doggy Day Camp four days/week. Jack has made so many friends! He loves playing with his trainers and practicing his manners. I truly love all of the staff and trainers at Cosmic Canine. They are very obviously dog lovers who love what they do. I appreciate that so much. They make me feel very comfortable and I trust them implicitly. They have helped me become a better dog mom and for that, I am forever grateful. I highly recommend any dog lover try out Cosmic Canine. You will be so impressed! read more

I love this place! It's like family!! They all know me and my pup. Henry loves going and playing with all his friends. When I get ready to load him up to go to daycare, he's so excited. The trainers are wonderful and work with the dogs even in daycare. Small groups and top notch trainers. We've had him groomed, trained, boarded, and in daycare. Your one stop shop!! Highly, highly recommend. read more

Have completed board and train, alumni training, and CGC training. The team will is fantastic, they work well together and did a fantastic job with my dog. Recent updates to the business are a real plus. Patience, praises, and a positive experience. Even I was trained, which was the biggest change. Thanks for the support with Billie J. read more

Sorry for the late review. Or dogs stayed here for 6 nights over the Cinco de Mayo weekend. Staff honestly took interest in our dogs immediately and we could tell they really cared. THAT means a lot to us. One thing that stood out was how clean this facility was. We have boarded our dogs at other places and were not 100% comfortable. Canine Republic deserves 5 STARS. Thank you Canine Republic read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. My dog was mistreated over Christmas. He lost 6lbs in 7 days!!!! Extremely unhealthy. They told me he was eating though he was only eating the wet food they gave him... even though I told them Duke has a sensitive stomach to not give him anything other than what I packed. Never got a call telling me he wasn't eating. He had a cough when I took him home and I thought it was from barking in the kennel?? idk?? Never had a dog with kennel cough but that's what Duke has now. They didnt inform me ANYTHING: not that he wasn't eating, that he was coughing, that he had a bloody paw, etc. They told me they took 70 dogs..... not the move. WILL NEVER BOARD HERE AGAIN. read more

Cosmic Canine - Pet Training Near Me - Plano, Texas

Booked over a month in advance for over Christmas. Place looked nice online. I'm not local so couldn't take a tour of the place and figured would be offered a tour when I dropped my girl off. I was not offered that when I arrived and got the feeling from them that wasn't going to happen even if I asked. Now let me say they were nice at drop off and pick up. I asked for them to have a trainer observe her for behavior and get back to me. I will say while I was there I spoke to a lady that maybe was the trainer and maybe that's why I wasn't called on the observation (not sure). My dog does have high allergies but has prescriptions which were provided to this center and believe she was given them but when I picked her up and got her to the truck I noticed red ankles on all four legs this would explain why she didn't want her nails trimmed. Let me explain I paid for a groom and nail trim and she has never given issues in doing this but was told she let them trim her front nails but not back. I thought this is weird and even said as much to the lady. When I got her to the truck blood red ankles and front mail were so short the quick was sticking out slivered and had to take a nail file to round them so they would t splinter even more which she didn't like because as I said the were short. I will say also when I dropped her off this place did have a high odor of urine almost like ammonia smell. I'm a truck driver and hadn't been home to see my family for four months and can't fly with my dog because of her behavior. I was flying out the next day and it's Christmas and didn't feel I would find anyone else to take her. Like I said they were nice and felt comfortable with them other than the smell but it's a kennel. Summary of my visit ammonia smell, red ankles (which I believe either from unclean kennels or astroturf that is the only place they have for the dogs to go to the bathroom, short nails, also has kennel cough and had to have it before I picked her up and no mention of it, oh forgot to mention it looks like she picked up ring worm and found a bug in between her toes pictures below. Beware!! read more

Our boy Grizz did a 2-week puppy board and train at Cosmic Canine and came back more confident, a better listener, and more treat motivated than ever Before enrolling, we had to get a free puppy evaluation with a member of their team. After meeting with Brad, we immediately felt safe and sure about leaving our puppy with them! They are such professionals and send daily updates on how the training is going. I'll definitely send him back for daycamp and board + training whenever I'm out of town! Thank you Brad & team for taking such good care of our little one! read more

Horrible experience at pick up!! I confirmed a late pick up due to my flight getting in at 4, was assured I can pick my dog up before 7. I got there and doors were locked and Noone answered the phone. The only reason I knew a employee was there was because I heard her YELLING AT THE DOGS so I knocked on the door, she eventually answered and said they are closed, she yelled at my twice when I asked her to call a manager and slammed the door in my face. Finally she came out with a different tone and apologized for the inconvenience and that someone misinformed me about 7 pm and the manager was on the way. Manager came in and let me take my dog home. read more

Fantastic communication, my pup loves it here! Great board and train options. She learned a lot.

They took great care of my dog while I was out of town for a couple of weeks and my dog likes going back to them

Two words! Life savers! We rescued an adult husky/malamute/german shepherd mix out of Dallas Animal Shelter in Oct not really knowing what we were getting into. The dog showed some training upon bringing home but quickly took over our lives when after a few months he became rather unruly and at times aggressive towards us and other dogs and people. Barking at everyone and every dog on and off the leash. Showing dominate behavior with younger and smaller dogs. Screaming and howling and unable to calm himself when anxious or when we tried to leave him alone. We were really desperate for some help. I read the reviews of several dog training places and we visited a few for consultations. This place had the best reviews and now I see why. When we went for the consultation, with Brad, he instantly had complete control of our dog and we knew this was the place to go for help. Brad is a straight up dog whisperer. We bought the month long day training package for $1600. He not only trained our dog to behave on a leash and have manners at feeding time but we are also finally able to leave him alone for several hours without him screaming bloody murder the entire time we are gone. The package also includes a training session with the owners where we learned how to handle such a stubborn and powerful breed. This training package saved our sanity and also quite honestly the dog as the only other option for us would have been to return him if we couldn't get him under control. Super nice and understanding front desk staff. Super nice and understanding trainers. Definitely recommend if you have a stubborn and hard breed to train. Or just an unruly shelter mutt that's seen and been through some things. We will definitely continue to use this business as a way to not only keep control of our dog but also further his training. Thanks so much, guys! read more

Super helpful and accommodating staff and trainers. They were great with our high anxiety/aggressive boxer. Would highly recommend them for training and boarding. read more

My dog stayed here at the end of August for 4 days. I requested a bath before pick up and she smelled like straight up urine (sweet and rotten like ammonia). I'm pissed. I've had her boarded at twice at another place for longer and she has yet to come home smelling like piss. read more

Our pup, Chaz, loves going to Cosmic Canine. He's learned a lot of good behavior there, and he's enjoyed the process. We, his people have learned a lot, too, so we can keep up with good practices going forward. read more

My dog, Teddy, loves Cosmic Canine! We have boarded Teddy here several times and he returns home happy and well cared for. I really appreciate this because Teddy is nervous when not with us...so I'm happy to know that he is in good hands while we are away. The communication with the staff is excellent and their level of expertise is impressive. I also appreciate that they listened to me. I explained that he is nervous in a kennel and they went out of their way to make sure he got walked and play time during the day. I highly recommend Cosmic Canine! read more

I've had my dogs trained and boarded here a few times. They always do a great job. Definitely recommend especially for training.

I brought my dog aggressive cattle dog mix to be trained and boarded for 4 weeks and I got my sweet, calm girl dog back. I missed her terribly but they sent videos of her progress almost every day and I was able to see her improve. The mood in the house has now changed with all of my other animals as well. They are miracle workers! read more

Tobin started training with them a year ago and he's intense to put it nicely. I had struggled with him for a year after getting him from the pound before I found Cosmic Canine. I could barely manage him in my own home before training and now I can travel with him, take him to crowded events or drop him off at daycare anytime knowing he's safe and going to have the time of his life with everyone at Cosmic Canine. read more

I highly recommend them for training both the dog and the dog parents! Our dog was a boisterous 55 lb Doberman who had so many bad habits. He came back to us his same self, but calmer and easier to manage. it was worth every penny to save him from the shelter and incorporate him into our family. read more

Cosmic Cabnine is my place for leaving my dog for long term boarding. They truely and genuinely love our pet family member and approach their work with such care and love for our dog. My dog is a very anxious and at times aggressive dog. Cosmic Canine not only help to train my dog they also did an amazing job in their continued effort to take care of him while we go on vacation. I recommend them for anyone looking to either train their dog or leave their dog for boarding. Thank You to the entire staff at Cosmic Canine for doing a fantastic job every time. read more

We had a great experience with Cosmic Canine and their 4-week day school program. Our 9-month old puppy Winnie started out anxious and nervous around new people and things, and also was not enthusiastic about going for walls. But after 1 week at Cosmic Canine he was a happy and confident walker! He continued to improve in behavior and confidence and learned lots of new commands. All the trainers we worked with seemed friendly and knowledgable and ready to answer all our questions. Couldn't recommend them more! read more

We are so pleased with Cosmic Canine! Our Abby did a 2 week stint for training - and it far exceeded our expectations! The staff is amazing - First met Erica and then with Ty to check the place out (and for them to check Abby out!). I looked into other places, but none compared to my first appointment with Ty. Brad and Zach did an excellent job training her - no easy task, I'm sure! And Brad did a very thorough "parent training" at the end of her 2 weeks. Now, we have a good girl at home and we've been going to Saturday morning group time to brush up on & reinforce her new skills - and mine as well! All the staff has been great to work with - I enjoy going to Cosmic Canine as much as Abby does! Check them out! read more

Our dog has gone through two of the training camps and attended their doggy daycare several times over the last couple of years. Brad was great at working with her in the training camps and explaining to us what happened over the course of the camps. He answered all our questions and gave us paperwork on the theory behind the training. The staff is knowledgable, kind, and willing to help or advise on different issues I'm having with my dog. I really like their intentionality in their doggy daycare, as they do more than just put her around other dogs. They work on socializing her, applying her training with other dogs around, and keeping the groups smaller. I would recommend them. read more

I have been using Cosmic Canine for Daycare since this past summer and I have found the daycare to be amazing and very flexible with my schedule. At Ollie's first experience there he came out happy and on the second visit Ollie was excited to go! I am so pleased with the care that is given to Ollie and how the staff shows their affection to him. He returns home one very Happy Pup!!! read more

I enrolled my 5 year old adopted pitbull mix into the 4 week board and train program. We saw amazing results and a huge improvement in our dog's behavior. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming and inviting when we dropped her off for her long stay. I can now comfortably walk my dog into pet stores, busy neighborhoods and city streets. We love the entire staff and so happy we made the investment. read more

My dog, Oliver, has always been a bit of a nervous guy. As he's gotten older, this increased into anxiety which the vet began treating him for. When I started a new job that was further from my home, I had to look into daycare options so that Oliver could have supervision and bathroom breaks. Starting daycare at 13 years old with anxiety did not seem ideal, but Cosmic Canine has proven that to be quite the opposite. I tried other places, and they seemed to make Oliver more stressed. With Cosmic Canine, Oliver is happy at both dropoff and pickup. The staff are kind and communicative. They really take into account his age and energy level to ensure he is placed in the right playgroup. They have helped Oliver become comfortable with being handled by new humans and being around other dogs. He barks less at home, is more cooperative at the vet and overall just seems more content. I feel so lucky to have found Cosmic Canine. The owners and staff truly care and it shows. Thank y'all for everything! read more

Our dog was having problems with barking and wouldn't even walk without being dragged before we came here. But, with the help of the trainers and daycare workers, our little pup is now well behaved and polite! read more

A little disappointed that this facility advertises group classes but when you call or go there they tell you they do not.

I have to say that the trainers and the owners both care helping you understand training your pups. There group classes are very personalized and not packed out like Petco classes. I highly recommend these guys even with stubborn pups. read more

Know this about these professional trainers: I have the dog inside my dog back. I have peace and tranquility in the house back. I have fun play time back. In short, I left a very dog aggressive animal with them and was delivered a sweet, loving and SAFE dog a month later. Worth every penny for something that cannot be more precious. read more

My fiance and I went here for an evaluation for training for our 1-year-old shepherd mix pup. We had a very negative experience that I felt the need to share so others do not waste their time. The trainers evaluating him seemed miserable and did not want to be there. They barely even acknowledged us when we walked in. The facility was disgusting and very poorly managed, with the kennels looking even worse. Dogs were barking and growling everywhere and it was a very overwhelming environment. I would never send mine or anyone I knows dog here. There are plenty of other places that are much nicer for $3000. read more

We had such an amazing experience with comic canine. Our German Shepherd was struggling with dog aggression issues and simple obedience issues.

If I could I would give a 10 STAR rating! Cosmic Canine was so professional and honest. The staff is amazing! They listened to our concerns and gave honest feedback. We enrolled our 7month old in the 2 week program and picked up a totally different dog. She still is our baby but trained now. Thank you Stan and Joanne for your guidance on our other dog Hula. Thank you Kerry for training Viktor. Thank you Joselyn and staff for everything. Shelia Stanfield read more

i have 2 English Bulldogs which are really hard to train. I can not say how happy I am with the results. I am free to take them on walks without getting pulled and yanked, i can keep them off the nice furniture and they listen to my wife now. the biggest improvement has been the Dog Aggression, they have learned to live with each other and dare I say have become good friends whereas before it was some hostile fighting. A big heartfelt thanks to Maya and the Team. Michael and Kellye Kypuros read more

We enrolled our 15 week old Shih Tzu in the two week puppy board and train program last month. His trainer was Katie. She did an amazing job with him and gave him a great foundation. He learned all the basic commands and we could tell the staff there cares about the dogs. I definitely recommend and will be boarding him again for a few days next week and will do some refresher training. read more

Amazing people! Big hearts and really care about your dog! Work with you to find right answers!

I boarded my dog here for a weekend. I booked the appointment online and followed up with a phone call requesting a small run and the advertised 3 night complimentary bath, both of which they agreed to. When I picked up my dog, his collar and extra food were left behind and the collar was lost. Very disappointed as I was hoping to have my dog trained here. read more
