A Refined Canine

I have been taking my Belgian Tervuren, Yoho, with Adrienne for the past couple of years. I feel Yoho is in such a great hands with her; I can easily tell when Yoho feels safe. As soon as we get to Adrienne’s place, Yoho is so happy, ready to go inside the air conditioning large boarding area. Her property is in a quite area and has a large open space (2-3 acres) where the dogs by groups, behaviors, and size. Since she is also a trainer, this is super important so dogs who tend to react are separated in its own private area outside. It doesn’t really matter how far I need to drive as long as Yoho is in a safe,loving and secure place…I’m grateful for Adrienne.

We are so impressed with A Refined Canine! Their staff is top notch, has an incredible amount of experience and knowledge with allowed our puppy Lotus Lane to sail through the Puppy Pre-school program. We highly recommend any program through A Refined Canine and look forward to our next training course with them!

The owner, Adrienne, is an absolute saint! I've taken both of my dogs to her multiple times in the last year, and I don't know if I will ever feel as secure leaving them with anyone else. A wonderful location with a lot of room for the dogs to run around and a beautifully done, climate-controlled barn with individual kennels. As I leave Texas, I think it will be tough to find another boarder that I would trust this much with my dogs. Thank you, Adrienne, for all your wonderful hard work!

Your dog will love taking classes or staying over! I met Adrienne (the owner) about a decade ago when she was teaching a puppy training class. She started this business shortly thereafter and I have seen it grow this whole time. I've used her dog training services and dog boarding and I trust her with my dog's care completely. I think Ms. Adrienne is my dog's favorite person after me! She has knowledge, experience, and temperament and dogs gravitate to her. She commands their attention, can clearly communicate expectations, and it doesn't hurt that she has the best treats too! She can train not just the dogs, but the humans also which is usually the hardest part ☺️. The kennels are on the family ranch so someone is always on site. Dogs get regular potty breaks, playtime with fellow furry

Adrienne was recommended to us by a friend. A refined canine is a hidden gem. The first thing that you notice is how thorough they are. They are also very knowledgeable, responsive( I would get videos and pics of my pup on a daily basis) and professional. They were able to train my 7 yr Anatolian Shepherd, who developed leg coordination issues and was getting a bit stubborn in general. The feeling you get is that they care for our pups as much as we do, which in itself is my most important criteria.
