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