About Alamo City Dog Trainers

Alamo City Dog Trainers is a veteran-owned board and train business in San Antonio run by Abraham, its head trainer and owner, who was born and raised in the city. He brings over a decade of dog training experience and over 24 years of service in the United States Air Force, and he is the only person who handles and trains each dog. Dogs must be at least 5 months old and fully vaccinated, with no prior bite history.
