When you’re on your way back to your trainer and you realize you have no brakes 😳😱😳

Thankfully he managed to stop and ended up in a nice collected sit in front me. 👍 Gotta love all that enthusiasm he puts into his work ❤️

This handsome boy really does take some of the best pics. We had such a blast working on generalizing all his cool new skills to auditorium shores last night. Boy was it crowded but he did soooo beautifully and handled self regulation around his triggers like a boss.

Did you know? We offer Daycare and Daycare and Training services!

If you've got a pup that you'd like to learn some more obedience before family and friends visit for the holidays, this might be the perfect fit for your busy schedule! Or maybe you're a new (or soon to be) puppy parent who is strapped for time and worried about getting that foundation training in during your puppy's critical learning and socialization windows.

Day Training is an excellent fit for any owner who wants or needs extra support during their dogs training program!

We've got a few spots left for December and January, so get in touch while there's still time!

Attention Austin Dog Lovers!!!

**Meet Jasper!**

Jasper is an approximately 1-year-old male neutered Staffordshire Terrier/APBT mix with a heart full of love and energy to match! While he may look kind of big in pictures, he’s actually pretty small in height!! This sweet boy was abandoned at a gas station, but now he’s ready to start fresh and find a forever home that fits his playful spirit.

Jasper would be an awesome running or hiking buddy and could even do well in dog sports as he’s got great toy drive, food drive, and really thrives on praise and affection too! He’s definitely a very versatile dude! He’d do best in an active home where he can go on long walks, play fetch, or even have a yard to call his own.

Jasper absolutely loves people, cuddles, and is always up for affection. Jasper is extremely smart and picks up on obedience training and commands quickly! As he is still an adolescent he will need some continued training, which I would be more than happy to help his new family with!

If you're looking for a loyal companion to join you on outdoor adventures and are ready to give him the love and attention he deserves, Jasper could be the perfect fit for you!

Send us a message if you’re interested in adding this little guy to your family and we’ll get a meet and greet set up!!

Just look at this happy boy doing happy boy things!

As y’all may know, at Austin Agility we specialize in day and overnight care for dogs who exhibit issues like anxiety, reactivity, and aggression.

Jagger (pictured here) is on his third short stay with us and is absolutely THRIVING. He had some behavioral issues at another daycare and boarding facility due to his anxiety, and so he would come home completely hoarse having regressed in his prior training.

Since his first stay with us his owners have reported that he’s made massive progress with his anxiety at home too! This is due to our love for behavior work and ability to adapt our routine care and handling protocols to each dogs individual needs.

If you’re struggling to find a place to trust to care for your pup who may have some extra behavioral needs, send us a message! We’d love to help!

Catching the pups checking out the camera when I am setting it up for training videos results in some of the cutest bloopers. 😂

Off leash hikes are some of our favorite things to do around here ❤️

These four were waiting for their magic word to let them know they could turn back around and race down the hill.

Jelly is always so excited to make new friends! Scout came for boarding last night and has had an absolutely blast integrating into our household!!

Things your dog always gets when they stay with us:

✅ A home away from home (that really feels like home!) Dogs staying with us actually *live* in the house with us, providing them a place they can truly relax and feel comfortable in.

✅ An enriching environment that offers safe ways to expend mental and physical energy - we’ve got a competition grade agility field on two fully fenced acres devoted to their exercise and care! Agility is one of many enrichment activities that we work into the dogs day!

✅ A judgement free zone! We specialize in the training, care, and housing of dogs who have extra needs due to behavioral challenges. Whether it be separation anxiety or aggression, we’re fully prepared to customize our care and management strategies to each dogs individual need.

✅ Structured Training and House Manners! As we are training and behavior modification focused, all dogs are reinforced for basic life skills and house manners while here. Got a door bolter? No problem, we work on waiting at all gates and doors. Poor recall? We got you, solo long line walks working on recall are literally part of our morning routine! Every second a dog is awake they are learning something, so we take advantage of that fact by ensuring they’re consistently learning good habits here!

✅ Appropriate Play and Social Interaction! Dogs who like to play learn how to, or are reinforced for, appropriate play within the social group! We never let play groups get out of hand as we firmly believe that is an easy way for reactivity to start! Dogs who are interested in interacting with other dogs are integrated into play groups using a methodical approach that ensures they are able to regulate their emotions whilst socializing with their peers!

✅ Customized Behavior Solutions! If a dog comes to us with aggression, reactivity, or anxiety around other dogs or new people, we incorporate behavior modification into our daily care, play, and handling routine in order to ensure they start making more positive associations with the triggers they struggle with!

✅ Solo time with a trainer! Every dog gets individual attention and one on one time with us, at no extra cost. We truly value each dog as an individual and believe creating a strong bond and working relationship helps them feel as comfortable as can be when they’re here with us!

What do you get?!

✅ Peace of mind that your dog is safe and having fun while you’re away!

✅ Assurance that your dogs training will not backslide due to poor management allowing bad habits to be reinforced.

✅ The ability to relax knowing that your dog is in the best, most competent, and caring hands possible with a behavior specialist who’s been in the professional dog training industry since 2007!

✅ Daily pictures and updates to look forward to that are guaranteed to bring a smile when you see your dog having so much fun!

Interested in our training, boarding, or daycare services? Feel free to give us a call, send a text to 737-232-5204 or send us a direct message here, we’d love to hear about your pup!!

How super cool is this? Neat read!

Humans need to breed and train more puppies like service animals.
