Professional Dog Training in Rockwall, TX
From Puppies to Service Dogs, We Help Your Dog Be Their BestRockwall Dog Training You Can Trust
The Service Dog Team Academy is based right here in Rockwall — this isn’t a satellite service area for us, it’s home. Our training facility and our team operate out of Rockwall daily, which means Rockwall clients get the shortest drop-off distance, the most trainer availability, and direct access to Valerie Fry and Keisha Tucker without the travel time our clients further out in the DFW Metroplex sometimes deal with.
Whether you need a structured Board & Train program, introducing a new puppy to the household, help with a specific behavior issue at home, or a full service dog training pathway, we’re built to serve Rockwall families first.
Why Rockwall Clients Choose Us
We're not a franchise or a chain that happens to have a Rockwall zip code — we live and work here. Our facility is located at 811 E Yellow Jacket Ln, and every dog in our Board & Train program stays in that same Rockwall home environment, not a commercial kennel.
Our training methods are grounded in certified, science-backed positive reinforcement. Valerie holds her KPA CTP, ABCDT-L2, AKC CGC Evaluator, and CLASS certifications. Keisha is also an AKC CGC Evaluator and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) — a background that shapes how we work with Rockwall veterans and clients managing PTSD or anxiety through service dog training. We don't use e-collars, prong collars, or corrections in any program.
Being based in Rockwall also means we're closely tied to the local community — we're not commuting in from across the metroplex to serve you, and same-day or next-day scheduling is often easier for Rockwall clients than it is for those further out.

Rockwall Dog Training FAQs
Answers to all your pressing questions about our services, our prices, and what to expect with your dog in one of our training programs.
Where in Rockwall are you located?
Our facility is at 811 E Yellow Jacket Ln, Suite 105, Rockwall, TX 75087. We’re happy to have you visit before booking — just contact us to schedule a time.
Do you offer in-home training in Rockwall?
Yes. In-home training is one of our most popular programs for Rockwall clients specifically, since we’re already local and can typically schedule sessions with less travel time than clients further out in the metroplex.
How far in advance do I need to book Board & Train?
We only accept a small number of dogs into the Board & Train program at a time, so availability varies. Contact us as early as possible to check current openings and reserve your spot with the $200 deposit.
Do you train service dogs for Rockwall residents?
Yes — service dog training is one of our core specialties, and being based in Rockwall means local handlers have the most direct access to our team throughout the full training pathway, from Board & Train through CGC certification and task-specific work.
What makes The Service Dog Team Academy different from other Rockwall trainers?
Our team holds certifications most local trainers don’t — including AKC CGC Evaluator status held by both owners, meaning we administer official Canine Good Citizen testing directly. Co-owner Keisha Tucker is also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, which shapes our work with veterans and clients managing PTSD through service dog training. All of our programs use positive reinforcement exclusively.
Can I visit your Rockwall facility before enrolling?
Yes. We encourage it, especially for Board & Train clients who want to see where their dog will be staying. Contact us to schedule a visit.
Do you offer group classes in Rockwall?
Yes, group classes are available to Rockwall clients. Visit our group classes page for current details, or contact us for the latest schedule.
How do I get started?
Reach out through our contact page or call (469) 786-7877. Since we’re based right here in Rockwall, we can usually get you scheduled quickly.
