About Us
Established in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was built by a group of professional trainers and behaviorists who recognized the lack of options in boarding for high-needs dogs. Our staff includes certified behavior specialists, lion and bear trainers, primate trainers, PSA-titled dog handlers, and former vet hospital managers. Together, we bring advanced knowledge and hands-on experience with companion animals, working K9s, and sport dogs. That’s why clients drive from Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond to board with us. Learn MoreBehaviorist-Led Care
