About Us
Established in 2020, Traction K9 Kennels was launched by a team of professional trainers and behaviorists who saw the lack of options in boarding for high-needs dogs. Our staff includes degreed experts, exotic animal handlers, primate 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 clients drive from Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond to work with us. Learn MoreExpert-Led Boarding

Every dog is cared for by certified experts – not entry-level staff. Our company holds a 5-star Google rating with over 220 reviews for our dog training services, and our expertise includes boarding. We combine elite-level handling skills with a deep understanding of behavior, so your dog receives judgment-free, expert care. For added peace of mind, dogs are watched by staff both on-site and remotely around the clock via surveillance cameras, and a behaviorist lives on site full time in a house located 50 feet from the facility.
