About Us
Founded in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was launched by a team of professional trainers and behaviorists who saw the void in boarding for high-needs dogs. Our staff includes certified behavior specialists, exotic animal handlers, monkey trainers, PSA-titled trainers, and former vet hospital managers. Together, we bring a wealth of expertise and hands-on experience with companion animals, working dogs, and sport dogs. That’s why dog owners drive from Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and beyond to work with us. Learn MoreBehaviorist-Led Care
