About Us
Founded in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was built by a team of professional trainers and behaviorists who saw the critical gap in boarding for high-needs dogs. Our staff includes certified behavior specialists, exotic animal handlers, primate 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 come all the way from Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and beyond to board with us. Learn MoreExpert-Led Boarding
