Extremely happy with PetCaddy! After our previous dog sitter moved out-of-state, we were forced to find a new arrangement for our 6 year old dog who can be somewhat unpredictable and reactive in new and different situations. Didn’t think we could ever hope to board her in a traditional boarding situation. With James’ knowledge and understanding of dogs, we have been able to transition Nala to a boarding arrangement that accommodates her needs and ours. Couldn’t be happier!Posted on Google![]()

I simply love this place! My corgi, Penny, enjoyed her stay and got to play with other dogs. The drive out to Burnet from Austin was way worth it, and especially nice to get my dog out of the city for her own little vacation too. Instant feedback and photos set my mind at ease and watching Penny get to play with other dogs and be happy helped me have fun on my vacation! I will definitely go back to Pet Caddy Boarding Kennel. Great owner and very attentive, and now my favorite spot to take my precious Penny the Corky (corgi, lol). 5 stars!!!!!Posted on Google![]()

Ty and James were great! I could tell by the way our dog interacted with them when we picked him up that he was comfortable and well treated. He’s in good hands at Pet Caddy!Posted on Google![]()

We had a wonderful experience with Pet Caddy for our young pup! This was his first time away overnight and they were very welcoming and kind and made us feel like he would be taken great care of. When we picked him up he was so happy to see us and I could tell he loved it! We will definitely be back!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.

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.
It's the daily loop
When a dog practices the wrong habits every day, those habits get stronger. And when training feels inconsistent or unclear, stress builds for everyone.

Kahn helps set the tone, modeling calm behavior and creating a safe learning environment for every dog.
