Quick answers

What training methods does Austin Texas K9 use?

Clear communication, structured boundaries, and a bond built on mutual respect. With over a decade of experience and 500+ successful transformations, we go beyond quick fixes — every tool and technique is explained and demonstrated before we use it with your dog.

How much does dog training cost?

Every dog starts with a free expert consultation so we can recommend the right program. Set-price offerings include Pack Boarding at $75 per night (alumni only) and Dog Adventure Day at $250 per day (open to all dogs). Program pricing for Total Immersion Board & Train, In-Home Functional Training, and Reactivity & Behavior Training is quoted at your consultation.

Do you train aggressive or reactive dogs?

Yes — reactivity and aggression are our specialty. Our Reactivity & Behavior Training (3–5 sessions) is designed for aggression, leash pulling, and behavioral problems, and our trainer is a Master Certified Canine Behaviorist.

What is the Total Immersion Board & Train?

A 30–45 day immersive program focused on real-world obedience, off-leash control, and complete behavioral transformation — with exposure at parks, stores, and public environments, plus lifetime follow-up support after graduation.
