The trainers here are amazing! We have an American Bully and he loved both Seven and Jay (trainers) He loves their treats even more (haha) They were very flexible with schedule and took proper safety precautions during this pandemic. He received the basic obedient training and will come back for additional advance training. I recommend these talented trainers read more

I am extremely disappointed with this stay-and-train program. It was by far the most expensive dog training option I found, and unfortunately my dog came home with little to no improvement. Honestly, I could have taken him to a basic puppy class and gotten better results for a fraction of the cost. What makes this even more frustrating is that the program included follow-up support--specifically an in-home training session and an additional training session to ensure everything was going well. I never received either of those services. I called multiple times trying to schedule, and no one ever returned my calls. Additionally, when I came to pick my dog up, they had a shock collar for me, which they had me pay a additional $200.00 for, since I never heard from them again I don't really know how to use it effectively with my dog. I have done my own research, but this is HIGHLY unprofessional. That level of poor communication is unacceptable, especially given how much I paid. When I entrusted them with my dog, I was very clear about my situation. I shared that I have PTSD from my military service and work as a first responder, and that having a well-behaved dog is important for me to feel confident taking him out in public. I put a lot of trust in this program, and they completely let me down. This experience was not only a financial disappointment but also a personal one. It has been almost a year now and never once have they reached out to see how my dog is doing or see if his training is going well at home- or deliver on the promise they made. I would not recommend this program to anyone looking for reliable, effective dog training or even basic customer support. read more

Super excited to bring my Presa, Duke, back for Round 2 with Seven! Not only does she have the skill set of an incredible trainer, but her true love for the animals is observed with everything she does, from her education to the owner to her affection for the dogs. Duke adores her and I know she adores him right back! Leaving your animal with someone an extended period of time is never easy, but she checks in regularly with videos to ensure Mom doesn't lose her mind! read more

We are so overwhelmingly satisfied at the progress that Trainer Seven made with our family dog Rocky. Seven is so patient loving and kind to all of the dogs and she really turned Rocky into the type of dog that we wanted. We will not hesitate to bring our next dog to Tycal. Rocky is an eight month old Rottweiler and now has the discipline to be around our two young kids with ease. Rocky listens protects and loves the family. We are so thankful that we became part of the Tycal family. Karl & Karen Chatman read more

I have a Belgium Malinois puppy and TYCALK9 was highly recommended to me by a person that also has a Mal. Set up an evaluation with the owner Manuel. Great guy, super nice and knowledgeable. The facility was clean and the trainers were extremely nice and made you feel right at home. Seven, one of the trainers evaluated my Mal and I quickly set up for my girl for private lessons. One of the best decisions I ever made for me and my Mal. Words cannot explain how thankful I am to TYCALK9 and his Team. They are an amazing team and know what they are doing. I love the fact that me and my family was involved with the training and learned so much. Thank you Seven. My girl Raven is 6 months now but will continue to go to TYCALK9 for more advance obedience training and protection when she older. Do yourselves a favor and go by and visit TYCALK9; they won't disappoint. Thanks Manuel, Seven, Greg, Russell and the whole TYCALK9 family. read more

There are not enough words to express how much Judge and I love this place. Manuel, Jay and Seven are the best! They KNOW dogs! Seven and team have made Judge and me feel as part of the TyCalK9 family. They have educated me on the why behind behavior and how to best fix the issues you're working on. If you want your dog to be well adjusted, you should take them to a facility that focuses on balanced training and that will take time to understand both you and your dog to ensure that your dog is engaged, happy and well behaved. TyCalK9 and team is your place! read more

Highly recommend to anyone looking for obedience training. read more

TyCalK9 has absolutely transformed our reactive 1 year old Euro Doberman. Before we started training, it was impossible to even walk our dog outside as he would bark and lunge at every stranger and every other animal he saw. At the conclusion of our behavioral modification training with Brandon from TyCalK9 (@brodie_wa_dobie on Instagram), we could comfortably take our dog to the park, restaurants, breweries, and wherever else we wanted. We now have a confident, reliable, and safe Doberman that we can enjoy life with while having zero worries. The expertise, passion, and professionalism that Brandon and the other staff members showed us is second to none, and I will gladly return to TyCalK9 when I get more dogs in the future. read more

I can not say enough good things about TycalK9 and the team that works there. I'm only 4 classes in for puppy training and they know their stuff. Seven has been so awesome and easy to work with. Her love of animals and knowledge shines through. She knows her stuff, no doubt. Was cool to see her bring our dobie's confidence out in her first lesson. Now she loves the bottle pit. Greg, Brandon, and even the owner have just been a pleasure to work with. Everyone knows their stuff. They let you ask questions and actually listen to you. We are excited to watch our girl continue to grow in her training with such a great team. P.S. they do a great job at keeping the place clean as well. Great place, great people, great training. Highly recommend starting with the puppy classes if you are getting a new family member, even if you have had dogs your entire life. Learning so much and cool to see all the progress already in our girl. read more

Seven and her team have made a HUGE difference in our puppies quality of life. We adopted Molly, a 6 month old lab, from a shelter and she was super anxious and terrified of all people and any object that moved suddenly. Within a few weeks of working with Seven, Molly has become so much more confident and is an all around happier dog. Molly went from a scared shaking mess that would bark and nip at anyone who got close to a sweet calm pup. Along with helping out with her fears, our puppy has also stopped chewing up all of our stuff and she has learned several commands! This group is 100% worth the time and money and their creativity of finding unique ways to help with my puppy's fears has helped her have a much happier life. read more

We had an AWESOME experience with TyCalK9!! We have a 1 1/2 year old Labradoodle, who was hard to take on walks because she would pull me (a 300 lbs man) into the street. After the first private lesson, we already saw a significant improvement! Seven Flores is an AMAZING trainer! She cares about the animal and about us as the owners. She does a great job teaching us how to train our dog. She went with us to the pet store to show us how to handle the dog and explained exactly how dogs behave and why. It wasn't just all about commands and making the dog do what you want. After just four short weeks, I can put Athena in a Down in our front yard, drop the leash, go inside and KNOW she is not going to move! I would recommend TyCalK9 to ANYONE who has a dog that is currently not trained. Absolutely great experience! We are going to continue our training with the off-leash obedience training now. read more

I have been wanting to send my Cane Corso to obedience school for a while, but I couldn't find a place with a good enough reputation that I could trust for my dog. I saw TyKalK9 was close to my house and then was recommended by a neighbor that also has a Cane Corso, so I contacted them and took my dog in for an evaluation. The trainer, Seven, is amazing! I signed my dog up for advanced training that day. After the first session I knew I had chosen the right training facility. My pup is so comfortable with Seven and she is so knowledgeable about any concerns I might have. The facility is very clean and spacious enough for my big boy. I would definitely recommend TyCalK9 to anyone with a dog! We are on class number 5 out of 12 and I already see such an improvement. Very excited to see the results after all of our sessions! read more

We just completed Basic On-Leash Obedience at TyCalK9 with our Malinois puppy and could not be happier!  Our pup's behavior at home and his interaction with our 3 young children has improved drastically. Walks and public outings are much more enjoyable now!  Our trainer Seven was incredible.  She shared so much helpful information and guidance, giving us the tools needed to gain control and optimize our lives with our Mal. She also welcomes the family to sit in on training sessions so that all household members can be on the same page and be consistent with training at home. The kiddos love her, and our pup loves her!  We are very excited to return to TyCalK9 for Advanced OB and protection! read more

I own a German Shepherd that for a number of reasons, particularly genes, is very skiddish and reactive. I saw multiple trainers and a very well known behaviorist in the Houston area for her issues. I was told by them to muzzle train her, that she'd become aggressive, and I may end up having to put her down if she bites someone. They labeled her hopeless and asked me to do a couple grand's worth of bloodwork to have her medicated. The behaviorist is taking advantage of people who need help. I sought out training for my dog, but the only thing she wants to do is medicate your dog and hand you a binder with training techniques after waiting for months to see her and paying a ridiculous amount of money all for nothing. My dog did not need medication and I'm sure a number of the dogs she sees don't. All my dog needed was the right trainer and that's where TyCalK9 came into to save the day! I first came to TyCalK9 a couple years ago to do on-leash board and train. Manuel was absolutely amazing to me knowing what I had been through. He said that my dog is in fact not hopeless. He took her for 6 weeks and she came back a different dog. She still had her problems because of the genes, but I found out that her problems are also related to how I am as a dog mom. I took her back this past October to do board and train doing e-collar and behavior modification training. She worked with Seven this time due to her specialized training in behavior modification. She was great at giving me updates and support during and after training. She went above and beyond for me because truly cares about her work and the dog's happiness. I got my puppers back and yet again I am mind-blown by the work Seven has done with my dog. I had given up hope of ever having a normal dog, but now I am full of hope in what she is capable of thanks to Seven, Manuel, and TyCalK9. Thank you TyCalK9 for changing my pup's life! Also screw all the "best professionals" in the field of dog training who said she was hopeless. They are a joke. TyCalK9 are the TRUE professionals in this field!! read more

When we got our new puppy, Molly, we knew we needed help with basic obedience training. We called several local places and they either took a long time to call back or didn't inspire much confidence when we spoke to them. We looked up TyCalK9's website, thinking they only do protection dog training, but it turned out they also do general obedience. We called and spoke to Manual, the owner. He was very friendly and had us come in for a free evaluation. That's when we met Seven, dog trainer extraordinaire! We started going for private lessons three times a week, but soon realized that with the COVID shutdown and homeschool, we need something different and more focused. Molly went to stay and be trained by Seven for four weeks and has come back to us the best version of herself. She is still a puppy, but we are more easily able to calm her down and build on the great foundation of basic skills Seven taught her. Everyone at TyCalK9 is incredibly friendly and Seven was so easy and flexible to work with. If you're thinking about lessons or any other training for your dog, go see Seven and you won't regret it!! read more
