Board & train programs that turn everyday pups into everyday rockstars
EXCELLENT Based on 50 reviews Posted on VirginieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience and we recommend Pet Caddy. Our golden retriever was in good hands while we were out of town for the Holidays. We really appreciate their communication and enjoyed receiving texts and pictures of our dog while we were away from her. A wonderful family owns Pet Caddy and next time without hesitation we’ll book a spot there for our dog when going out of town. Thank You Per Caddy! 🙏🏻Posted on Joe MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a wonderful experience from start to finish, Ty was very accommodating and easy to work with. This was the first time using Pet Caddy but not the last. We were kept updated with pics of our little guy having fun. Thanks again 🙏🏻Posted on Josh DinuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog loves going to Pet Caddy and I have no complaints! They are great people and very easy to do business with. I look forward to continuing to drop my dog off whenever I need a vacation ☺️Posted on Connie DolandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The owners of Pet Caddy were friendly and made sure my dog, Franklin, had a good vacation. Pick up and drop off made it all very easy for me. They're my new hotel for Franklin. I strongly recommend Pet Caddy.Posted on Anna DornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Boarded our dog, Penny, over Christmas and Pet Caddy was great! She had to be more limited on exercise and they took her for several walks per day rather than having her out with other dogs. Highly recommend!Posted on Colin GurleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our puppy spent the christmas break and had zero problems. Owner is very responsive and text updates daily. Quick and easy drop off and pick up and was able to book within a few days before christmas. Thank y’all for saving us the hassle during the holidays! Will be using again in the future!Posted on Whitney StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best experience at Pet Caddy. They are friendly, responsive and took great care of our dog, Maya. She gets anxious when left alone and we've struggled to find a good boarding spot for her in the past. Pet Caddy was perfect. She got lots of playtime with other dogs. We got lots of photo updates. She was happy and tuckered out from a week of play when we picked her up! We will definitely be coming back.Posted on Chad TroldahlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog Minny stayed for 10 days and had a blast! Was given constant updates with videos and pictures of her playing and would recommend without reservation to anyone looking for a place for their dog to stay!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Pet Caddy offers professional dog training in Austin, TX through immersive board & train programs designed for real life. Instead of weekly lessons or group classes, your dog stays with us and trains daily in a calm, structured environment where good habits can actually stick.
Our board & train programs are built for puppies who need strong foundations, adolescent and adult dogs who struggle with consistency, and dogs working through challenges like reactivity, fear, or anxiety. Each dog follows a customized training plan focused on clear communication, routine, and hands-on guidance.
By specializing exclusively in board & train dog training, we’re able to create lasting behavior change through consistency, structure, and real-world practice — helping dogs come home calmer, more confident, and easier to live with.
For puppies who need calm foundations before chaos becomes normal.
Crate training, potty training, leash manners, impulse control, confidence building, and calm habits.
Builds structure, confidence, and calm habits during your puppy’s most important learning window.
For adolescent and adult dogs who mostly listen, but not in real life.
Reliable sit, stay, come, leash manners, impulse control, and calm routines. Ideal for families who want a dog that listens at home, on walks, and in public settings.
Builds consistency, confidence, and focus so your dog can handle everyday distractions.
For dogs who have the basics and need next-level reliability plus practical task skills.
Advanced training for hunting retrieval and useful cues like opening doors or bringing items. Aggressive behavior cases require an assessment.
You want your dog to feel welcome anywhere you go.
Walks. Friends’ houses. Vet visits. Busy Austin sidewalks. Just normal life.
But when your dog pulls, barks, lunges, or melts down, life starts to feel smaller, and sometimes risky. You manage situations instead of enjoying them. You plan around behavior you cannot fully control.
Training is not about a “perfect dog.”
It is about giving your dog the skills to move through the world safely and confidently.
Pet Caddy offers board and train programs in Austin that build reliable obedience through positive reinforcement, consistent structure, and calm daily routines so life with your dog feels free and easy.
