About Us
Founded in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was launched by a team of professional trainers and behavior specialists who saw the lack of options in boarding for high-needs dogs. Our staff includes certified behavior specialists, lion and bear trainers, monkey trainers, PSA-titled trainers, and former veterinary hospital managers. Together, we bring advanced knowledge and firsthand experience with family pets, working K9s, 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
