A family-run, owner-operated dog trainer just outside Austin, serving hundreds of happy families for over 10 years.
It's our primary goal to take really good care of your dog. We've served the greater Austin area for over a decade and helped hundreds of families build happier lives with the pets they love.
Dogs miss their people, so we go out of our way to give every dog plenty of interaction, learning excursions and field trips, one-on-one and group play, and restful downtime too. Our mission is simple: every dog in our care is happy, and every owner feels confident their pup is in the best hands.

Get to know the family, the property, and the way we work with dogs.
Together, Ashley and Steven bring over two decades of combined experience with dogs, from advanced obedience to emergency veterinary-technician work. They live on-site, so every dog spends their days with a real family, not a row of kennels.
Ashley specializes in advanced obedience and competes with her dogs in performance sports, including AKC Hunt Tests, Disc Dogs, and Dock Diving, even earning World Championship Qualifier status in Skyhoundz Disc Dogs. Their dogs have been featured in commercials, print ads, and Netflix productions, and they've been interviewed as experts on local news. As parents themselves, they understand both the chaos a dog can add to a busy household and the joy a well-trained dog brings to family life.
Every dog gets exactly what they need to stay happy, healthy, and safe.
Days are spent with the family on our 2.5-acre property; at night, every dog sleeps in their own crate, indoors, in a fully climate-controlled building, an upgrade from traditional kennel runs.
Daily walks, supervised play, and real-world field trips keep training fun and dogs well-rounded.
Owners on-site, a climate-controlled building monitored 24/7, and a backup generator for total peace of mind.
Holistic training tailored to your dog, not a one-size script.
Dogs spend their days with our family, cared for the way we care for our own.
We coach the dog and the humans, with patience for both.

"Our experience with ATX K9 was literally life changing… I researched 5 spots in and around Austin and no other business was as responsive or professional. The owners Steven and Ashley are SO friendly."
"Steven and his crew are the best! We're so happy with the training Trucker received. They're professional, knowledgeable and kind. He's the sweetest Pibble we could have ever hoped for!"
