How board & train works, what puppies can learn, and what to expect. Still curious? Call (512) 508-8959.

Our training property is in Elgin, TX, just east of Austin. Call (512) 508-8959 and we will share directions when you book your consultation.
Start with a consultation. We will talk through your dog's needs and the right program, and answer any questions about the facility.
Yes, all breeds are welcome. Every program is customized to your dog, and we choose training tools to fit the individual dog.
Board & train takes the teaching off your plate: we train the dog, you reinforce at home, with faster, immersion-style results. Private lessons build a deep bond, but progress depends on your daily follow-through. Not sure? We will help you decide on your consultation.
Board & train runs in 1- to 4-week increments. We will recommend a length at your consultation based on your dog and your goals.
On our 2.5-acre property with our home and a custom, climate-controlled training building. Days are spent with the family, in the house, outdoors (always supervised), and in the indoor training space. At night, every dog sleeps in their own crate, indoors, in a fully climate-controlled building. The building is monitored 24/7 for fire, flood, temperature, and power, with a backup generator.
Bring your dog's own food so their stomach stays settled. You are welcome to send bedding and chew toys for the crate (no stuffed or sentimental items, please), though we cannot guarantee they come back in the same condition.
Yes. We accommodate all diets, including raw. A veterinary technician on staff dispenses medication daily and cares for diabetic and special-needs dogs.
Yes. You get report cards every three days through our client portal, each with a written update plus a photo or video.
Yes, you can schedule a visit. Timid or anxious dogs can find it confusing to see you come and then leave, so we will help you make the best plan.
With board & train, we guarantee your dog will display knowledge of the commands in the chosen package when they return home. After that, you follow through (we teach you how) and we are here for questions.
As soon as they are home. For puppies under 16 weeks (before the rabies shot), we offer in-home puppy lessons so we can start the foundation safely and early. After 16 weeks, your pup is eligible for any of our programs.
Plenty: potty and crate training, biting and nipping, early socialization, and a calm leash introduction, plus a gentle foundation of focus and good habits.
No, it is not required. Just keep us posted on your puppy's vaccination schedule so we plan socialization safely.
Often, yes. Leash manners, impulse control, and house manners are core to our programs. We will confirm the right fit for your dog at your consultation.
That is the goal. Once the foundation is set, we take dogs on real-world field trips so the training holds up away from home.
Pick the path that fits your family, we'll help you choose.
"…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."
Tell us a little about your dog and we'll help you pick the right program, then grab a consultation time that works for you. No pressure.
