Testimonials
“I can’t recommend these guys enough! We have a one year old chocolate lab. Her ADHD was out of control. We took her to Texas Duck Dogs for behavioral training and she came back a different dog. She still has her energy and spirit that she did but she listens and actually minds her commands that she was taught. We no longer have the thoughts of what are we going to do with this dog and how are we going to survive this. We just enjoy her with our family now. Thank your Wade and Garrett so much! We can’t ever repay you for the transformation of our family.”
– Brian G Shatto
“We got our wonderful dog, Bear, as a puppy from Texas Duck Dogs. The whole process from the first inquiry all the way through the basic hunter program was fantastic. Wade and his team do a great job training every aspect of dog ownership. Bear did great in his first hunting season, and he is also a great house dog. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and professionalism of Texas Duck Dogs. I will be a lifetime customer!”
– Austin Springer
“Seriously cannot say how happy I am with our dogs training. I was nervous to send him off, but blown away by the quality of the facility, very well thought out and planned training schedule and communication. Let alone watching this boy go from stubborn boy, to loving his job and having a wonderful relationship with his trainer. Watching him do what he was bred to do and thrive was a true joy. I couldn’t have asked for more as an owner. If your hesitant to send your dog, don’t be! This program is amazing!”
