About Us
Founded in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was launched by a group of professional trainers and behavior specialists who saw the lack of options in boarding for high-needs dogs. Our staff includes certified behavior specialists, exotic animal handlers, primate trainers, PSA-titled dog handlers, and former vet hospital managers. Together, we bring advanced knowledge and hands-on experience with family pets, working dogs, and sport dogs. That’s why families travel from Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and beyond to work with us. Learn MoreExpert-Led Boarding
