About Us
Established in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was built by a group of professional trainers and behavior specialists who recognized the critical gap in boarding for high-needs dogs. Our staff includes certified behavior specialists, lion and bear trainers, monkey trainers, PSA-titled trainers, and former vet hospital managers. Together, we bring advanced knowledge and hands-on experience with family pets, working K9s, and sport dogs. That’s why clients come all the way from Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond to board with us. Learn MoreBoarding by Professionals
