About Us
Founded in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was started by a group of professional trainers and behaviorists who understood the void 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 advanced knowledge and hands-on experience with companion animals, working K9s, and sport dogs. That’s why families travel from Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond to work with us. Learn MoreBoarding by Professionals
