Positive methods. Real results. Happy pups.
At PetCaddy, we turn good dogs into great listeners with gentle, reward-based training that works in the real world.
Led by our founder, James Turner, a lifelong dog trainer and animal lover, our ranch is more than a place to play. It’s a calm, open-air setting where dogs build confidence, improve focus, and learn practical skills they’ll use every day.
EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Annie Tasto2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our bernedoodle Rudy stayed with PetCaddy on fairly short notice and James and their team was so helpful and communicative through the whole booking process and all of Rudy’s stay. I loved seeing pictures of Rudy running around and he returned to us as happy as could be. Thank you PetCaddy! Dj Eady2025-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a phenomenal experience with the pet caddy team. Initially a very stressful experience as it was our first time ever boarding and being separated from our pups but they made us extremely comfortable and their consistent updates put us at ease. I absolutely recommend and will most definitely be using them in the future Cecelia Clark2025-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Pet Caddy for your boarding needs ,the set up is very spacious and James thoroughly explained everything and he sent daily updates with pictures of our dog ,he was only there 4 days and when we came to pick him up initially he was hesitant about coming to us then I guess he realized oh my family came back for me he is only 6mths old so I know he was care of very well for him to respond like that initially a huge thank you for taking such great care of Astro!!!

This was my dog Blu’s first time boarding with them, and they took amazing care of her. If you’re looking for a safe, loving place to board your pup, definitely choose Pet Caddy. They are the nicest people, and I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in their home. Blu came back happy, loved, and well cared for — I will definitely be boarding with them again!

We loved the photos and updates we received, and when we went to pick up our dog, it was clear he was having a great time. We totally recommend Pet Caddy! Angelica Connelly2025-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James is fantastic! He took care of our dog, Betty, while we were out of the country for several weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He sent frequent photo and text updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We also really appreciated his convenient pick-up and drop-off service. Betty absolutely adores him—her tail starts wagging the moment she sees James at the door! Highly recommend. Justin Huckabee2025-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome!!! Thank you James and Pet Caddy! I was looking for a boarding place that could give my large dog with severe anxiety the attention he would need while on our vacation to Florida’s 30A. Spoke to James on the phone and made the 2 hour drive to drop him off; Worth it!! I loved Pet Caddy’s individualized care and set up. James took great care of my dog, gave me updates and let me have a care free vacation! Kat Melton2025-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pet Caddy has been sweet and professional. They have plenty of space for the dogs and they take time to learn the dogs personality. My baby had the best time there and she is generally an anxious girl. I couldn’t recommend this place more. Mia Kertson2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I boarded my 7 mo miniature dachshund puppy Fergie with Pet Caddy and had a wonderful experience. James sent me pictures of her frequently while I was away and gave me lots of updates. I will definitely be using them again in the future!! Breely Bohanan2025-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Instead of tight indoor spaces or cold training halls, our dogs learn in open-air environments with room to move, focus, and stay calm. Distractions become learning opportunities.
Our resident pup Kahn models calm behavior and helps other dogs stay relaxed during sessions. He’s not just a good boy. He’s part of the team.
Sit, stay, come, leave it, leash manners…we teach what actually matters at home, on walks, and at the vet. No gimmicks. Just practical progress.
We keep our training groups small to give each dog focused attention. For pups who need even more support, we also offer one-on-one coaching.
Our trainers use positive reinforcement to build trust and motivation. We never use harsh corrections or fear-based techniques. Learning should feel good.
Whether you’ve got a stubborn teenager or a wild little pup, we’re here to help you both speak the same language. Our ranch setting and expert guidance make learning smoother, for dogs and their humans.
Perfect for:
✔️ Puppies starting with the basics
✔️ Rescue dogs learning the ropes
✔️ Overexcited dogs who need structure
✔️ Pet parents looking for real-world manners
We welcome dogs from anywhere, but we’re especially excited to serve our neighbors in Austin, Spicewood, Horseshoe Bay, Marble Falls, Steiner Ranch, Hudson Ranch, Lakeway, Barton Creek, and surrounding communities.
PetCaddy training is more than obedience, it’s confidence, communication, and connection. Ready to help your pup shine?
