Buda families send their dogs to our Elgin property for board & train, and get back a dog who is easy to live with. Family-run, on 2.5 fenced acres.
Buda sits just south of Austin on I-35, in Hays County. Our home base is in Elgin, east of Austin, and Buda families make the drive for our board & train program. You drop your dog off, we do the daily training, and you pick up a dog who knows what you are asking.
Board & train dogs live and learn with our family on 2.5 fenced acres, with a heated and air-conditioned training building and nights in their own crate indoors. Training groups stay small, so every dog gets one-on-one work every day.

"…went from a wild thing that didn't listen and couldn't walk on a leash… Our walks are now perfect. No pulling and she checks in with me… she actually comes to me!"
"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."
