Dog Training in Austin, TX — Built Around Board & Train​

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.

Help your dog fit into the world

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.

The problem is not your dog

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.

How our dog board and train programs work​

A dog board and train program combines daily professional training with a calm, structured stay. Instead of squeezing training into short sessions at home, your dog practices good habits all day in an environment designed for learning.

At Pet Caddy, dogs stay on our peaceful Central Texas ranch and train daily using positive reinforcement, clear expectations, and steady routines. This allows dogs to learn faster, build confidence, and return home with habits that transfer into real life — not just in a training setting.

Puppy Starter, Basic Obedience, or Advanced and Behavioral Training.

2. Drop off and let us build good habits​

Your dog trains daily with structure, repetition, and clear expectations.​

3. Bring the results home

Imagine your next normal day

If nothing changes, things won't get easier

Most behavior problems do not disappear on their own. Pulling gets stronger. Reactivity gets more rehearsed. Frustration grows. And training later becomes harder than training now.
