Board & train programs that turn everyday pups into everyday rockstars
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.

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.
