Specialties
We are an Austin area home based dog boarding and training business. Our primary location is located Bastrop, TX on 42 beautiful acres. Additional services include daycare and behavior modification for even the most aggressive dog.
We don't just train aggressive dogs! All breeds, ages, & temperaments are welcome. We love them all--from 3 lb Yorkies to 160 lb + Mastiffs! We work with your average happy go lucky dog to make them all they can be as well as severely fearful or aggressive dogs that need more intensive behavioral help.
Group classes are in Bastrop and Georgetown. Private lessons can be arranged anywhere, and boarding or board & train services are available in Bastrop.
Don't worry! If that seems a little far, we offer pick up and drop off services for boarding! Kennels are climate controlled and owners are on site. We also offer extras like private walks and play times, doggy ice cream, nail trims, swim times and more!
Behavior Modification:
Did you know that the most common reason dogs are given up to shelters or euthanized are bad behavior and aggression? Many people want to be good owners and feel like they have tried everything, only to give up because of bad advice, inexperience, or ineffective training methods. If you are experiencing behavior problems with your dog or would just like your dog to be more obedient, K9 Mastery can help. Please contact us for more information and so we can help you pick a program best suited for your situation and needs!
History
Established in 2009.
Edit
Established in 2009.
K9 Mastery is founded on the premise that dog ownership should be fun, challenging, and rewarding. This company was founded in 2009 when Christie made it her mission to help other people realize the joy of having well trained dogs that are trained in methods capable of producing dogs reliable in real world situations without even a collar. She knows that there are other people out there in the situation she was once in, desperate and looking for an answer, and believes that no one should have to ever consider rehoming or euthanizing a dog because of behavior or training problems. She also knows there are many people out there that have spent countless hours and exorbitant amounts of money on training that has failed them and others that simply don't know where to start. And so K9 Mastery was born.
Meet the Business Owner: Christie M.
Born and raised in TX, Christie made Austin her permanent home after attending and graduating from the University of Texas at Austin.
Christie has always had a desire to work with animals and, in particular, dogs. Around December 2007, the problems with their own dogs escalated to such an extreme that not only were there several costly visits to the emergency vet for emergency surgeries, but both she and her husband were injured separating the fights and were told that they would need to keep their dogs separated as they would never be able to be in proximity of each other without fighting. Devastated and thinking there was no solution other than rehoming one or more of their dogs, Christie made one last desperate attempt to find something that would work and give her a stable pack of dogs.
Today, Christie still has the dogs she had when her search began and without aggression issues. They are truly the joy they were meant to be as well as fun, obedient, and reliable.
