About Pack Vibes ATX

Adventure day camp and training

Pack Vibes ATX is an Austin dog adventure and training service built on the principles of dog psychology, promoting balance in dogs the natural way. Its founder came to the work rehabilitating Charles, a two-year-old pit bull who had been through the shelter twice, then left a corporate job and moved to Austin to build the company.

Day camp

The 7-hour structured day camp follows three phases: a pack walk at hiking spots around South Austin, then obedience, treadmill and place work with structured relaxation, then closely supervised small-group play in a fenced area. Pick-up and drop-off are included, and owners receive photos and videos through the app.

Training sessions

Training starts with an assessment and evaluation, followed by a plan to modify problem behaviors. Sessions cover obedience and leash problems, mastering the walk, pulling and reactivity, and teaching rules, boundaries and limitations for jumping on guests, destructive behavior and anxiety.

What owners say

One owner wrote that "after a few lessons with Ryan, we now have a well-adjusted Pomeranian."
