About Austin Agility

Training and behavior help in Austin

Austin Agility is a dog training and behavior modification business that says it has served dogs and owners in Austin and the surrounding area since 2007. Its methods draw on hands-on experience with complex behavior and training challenges for thousands of dogs and their owners.

What it works on

The team takes on high-energy dogs that run off when let off leash, constant leash pulling, barking and lunging at dogs and people, jumping on guests, aggression and bite history, and reactive dogs whose owners want to try dog sports. Goals include advanced obedience the owner can rely on in any situation and a dog that works with its owner as a team. Austin Agility also offers specialized therapeutic boarding and daycare for dogs with serious behavioral concerns.

What owners say

One owner described her rescue Ritzy's leash aggression and anxiety, writing that trainer Kelly taught her to keep Ritzy below threshold and that "now, she'll walk right by my side and I trust her to stay by me on off-leash trails."
